I thought the first episode of Titans was interesting and I'm cautiously intrigued by what's ahead.

Watching the episode in full does put context to the trailer. Doing my best to avoid spoilers, but...


 * Dick Grayson believed he was becoming too much like Batman, is trying to leave life as a vigilante behind, but not succeeding.


 * This is an origin story for Rachel Roth, who doesn't yet know what she really is and how her powers work.


 * Starfire is suffering from amnesia and is trying to piece together what happened to her. She's more violent in this interpretation, but that actually comes closer to how Wolfman portrayed her in the New Teen Titans (though not brutally violent -- which I can see some people wouldn't like in the series, even if it can be attributed to Starfire's amnesia).


 * Not much focus on Beast Boy here.

Also, there isn't a "villain of the week" arc in each episode -- it's one continual storyline throughout the series.
