She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

I am a 34 year old dude who grew up on HeMan and I created an account here to say I unironically loved this show.

I was beaming when she first transformed. Chills.

My kid can absolutely watch this if he wants to because awesome role models are awesome for us all.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power captured my heart. I was told about this show by a young girl who I teach martial arts. It certainly started out as a kids show, but I did like the "Last Airbender" so I kept watching and was soon hooked. The complexity of the characters and their diversity was a real joy. The search for the meaning of life and love by all the characters is amazingly present in this show. I loved the subtle and not so subtle references to other SciFi/Fantasy classics, and even some film noir. Kids will not know where that stuff came from, but it adds a lot for older viewers. The original Star Trek attempted to address controversial issues episode by episode, but She-Ra creates a real world as a single long story with continuity across the five seasons that maybe does an even better job of showing how we can achieve a better society thorough love and tolerance. As a married man in his 60's and father of a boy and girl, I am recommending this as my favorite show this year to everyone I know. Also, who could resist a cool girl with a sword!

Just finished season 5 and absolutely loved it. In my opinion this show is exactly what it aims to be: empowering, fun, and emotional. I can say honestly that I did get invested in a few of these characters and loved seeing their growth and where it led them in the climax of this story. I definitely recommend you at least give it a shot if it's even remotely close to your taste in shows.

A very well put together reimagining of the old series. Certainly has its faults, but none so large it detracts any enjoyment from watching the show. It doesn't talk down to it's viewers, and I think any child interested in fantasy and sci-fi will enjoy this. I got real Avatar the Last Airbender feelings from it. Friendship and honesty stand in the face of powerhunger and manipulation.

I'd been hesitant about writing a review for this show but with the 4th season under my belt I think I've finally got it. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is a bold reboot of the 1980s cartoon. The plot takes some time to kick into high gear, but when it does it is more than enough to carry the story on its own. However the show's best aspect is the characters. Both the heroes and villains are diverse in background, and complex in character and it's amazing to see. The animation serves it's purpose well, nothing amazing but not bad by any means. In summary this show is way better than it has any right to be, and a more than worthy successor to the original cartoon
