Season 1 and season 2 are just awesome, with complex plots and interesting stories. Overall you get a sense that this piece is for adults and not children. After flash point paradox this is the first piece by DC that I found super engaging.
Season 3 however is just pathetic. I have no idea who wrote it, the whole season is so boring I had to forward multiple times. The characters behave largely in a non-sensical manner. The whole season revolves around characters that anybody hardly gives a f about. The last episode told everything about how good this season was when Black Lightening was nominated as the leader of justice league, who displayed 0 leadership, 0 skill, 0 decision making and 0 usefulness throughout the season. I just really hope season 4 is like the first 2.
In short, season 1 and 2 => 10/10 ; season 3 => 3/10

Everything fits perfectly in this magical series. These days, if a series shows quality, it is because it was taken seriously by high- ranked people. I love the tone, the characters, the plot-line, the themes, the secrets, the chemistry between many characters, the relationship between Justice League (mentors) and Young Justice (sidekicks), the way they make superheroes used to be forgettable now memorable, etc. I absolutely didn't care about Superboy, Speedy, Blue Beetle, etc., but now I really am interested and I think that is the strength of this show.
The only tiny, small and little complaint I have concerns the music. Actually, I love how it is played throughout each episode, but to make it truly epic, it needs a better introduction or a standout song just like ''The Batman'' (90s, ''Superman'' (90s) and both ''Justice League'' and ''Justice League Unlimited'' : Tananan! Tananan! Tananananan! ... Of course, it is only a personal opinion and it certainly does not diminish the quality of this show.
I have watched the entire ''Young Justice'' season 1 and everything that has aired of season 2 in the last four days and whaouh! I want more and more and more. Whe I started watching season 2, I was utterly surprised to see a 5 years jump from where season 1 left and CHUCK NORRIS or GOD was I pleased! It truly is an intelligent move because it allows to bring new young superheroes like Blue Beetle or Impulse, etc. I am 20 years old and this show certainly is for young teenagers and young adults and even adults. Many theme are for mature people, with life and death decisions.
I can't believe how great the animation is, almost as great as every single DC animated movie they release each year, last one being ''The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1''. I truly hope they'll continue this series for many years to come because it is AMAZINGLY AWESOME! This series take risks and it works just fine in my book. That is what keeps it fresh. However, I hope they stay focus on the main characters they developed in the first season, not making the same mistake of some episodes of ''Justice League Unlimited''.
I can only give it a minimum of 9.5/10, but IMDb approximates, so to me, it is a 10/10! If any of the designers see this review, I encourage your awesome work and make you know that you have my total admiration. I was searching for a good show and I found yours by total luck. I am not very lucky in my life, but I think, that day, I totally was!
THANK YOU ;)

This is a good example of why you shouldn't cancel a great show like this. And if it does gets cancelled, it would be a good idea to hear the fans, and re-establish it as soon as possible, and with the same writers and overall team.
I'll keep the rating, but that's meant just for season 1 & 2. Season 3 would rate much lower.
I dunno what it was but the 3rd season left a bad taste in my mouth. The best thing about this season is probably the villians. The core group of heroes were meh and relatively unknown among dc fans. There was also a lot of plot devices that didn't make sense and wasn't realistic. Just there to be there. Obviously there was the forced PC elements but i dont believe that was all that killed this season.
Not a bad season but overall that brings this show for me from a 10 to an 8. The 3rd season wasn't completely horrible but it's like the same people that made the first 2 seasons arent the same people that made the 3rd one. The tactical realistic setting of young justice was kinda thrown out the window. Although it was just a business decision, the hiatus didn't make sense and it sucks that this show could be ruined as a result.

Don't confuse this show with Teen Titans or anything like that; yes there are adolescent teens in this show discovering their potential like many other great kids shows on the market, like Avatar, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, DragonBall, The Legend of Korra and so-forth, but Young Justice is like a spiritual sequel to the Justice League & Justice League Unlimited cartoons from the 2000s and more. This cartoon is super kick-ass stuff!
It's what superhero shows like Ultimate Spider-Man WANT to be, but struggle to find the right balance between entertainment and broadly appealing wisdom that kids and adults can enjoy in the same way. Young Justice masters that: it's got solid drama, nice splashes of humor throughout and of course some great action that shows this great team working some difficult stuff out.
This superhero fest gets 4.5/5 stars.
