Summary
Reviewers say 'Stargirl' is lauded for its nostalgic tone, strong character arcs, and engaging narratives, often drawing favorable comparisons to other DC series. The show balances superhero action with teen drama effectively, highlighted by Brec Bassinger and Luke Wilson's performances. However, critiques point to uneven pacing, filler episodes, and a perceived drop in quality over time. Some find the tone inconsistent and humor misaligned. Despite these issues, 'Stargirl' is generally regarded as a refreshing superhero series, blending nostalgia with contemporary storytelling.

This show is way way wayyyyyy better than the other superhero shows on the cw! The reason why is because the cw did not create it, dc universe did. The cw is just airing it on their channel and app so it gets more views! I like how this show revolves around a teenager and not adults like all the other superhero shows do! It makes it way more interesting by her having to go to school and dealing with teenage problems! The fight scenes and cinematography are just amazing!!!!! The only superhero show that even comes close to this is arrow and maybe black lightning! Hopefully this show doesn't just go episode to episode just stopping crime like all other superhero shows which make them boring but actually shows the characters lives and problems and them dealing with that type of stuff and not just stopping crime! From what I can tell it is not going to be like the other shows!!
Season 1 was something new. It was something that I thought would be the beginning of a new superhero franchise.
It was fun and the actors were fun and its was as corny as you'd expect it to be. And it didn't apologise for its corniness because it actually added flavour.
Season 2 however, needs to apologise. Its so obvious that the writer's room or whatever had a few people scared of backlash. Making a show with fear in mind makes it so safe its boring.
It feels like a teenage Disney sitcom that's trying to be edgy. But they're scared of getting even remotely close to the edge.
I feel embarrassed while I'm watching it. Like only a fool would fall for this show Maybe the target audience are pre-teens? That could explain it.
But in my opinion, there was nothing wrong with Season 1. Pre-teens could have watched it without getting nightmares.
Its a damn shame that so many shows are scared of letting their creativity flow. Or maybe something else is going on thats holding them back.
Bottom line is that the second season makes me sad that I enjoyed the first season.

The tv show is lost between a plot for adults with children's characters and sometimes more boring despite that still a good fun 🙁
And no, I don't mean uplifting and comical. I mean solid, well-crafted, narrative and visually pleasing. This episode has a cinematography that could very well be featured in a movie. Still too early to tell anything about the plot, but I can already see which characters are going to be relevant based solely on the way they're framed when they show up. That's the director stating "Hey! Pay attention! This guy is about to do something!"
Hard to tell if they used a double for the acrobatics, but if they didn't and that's actually the actress, then she an extra mark for that.
The only "but" I give it, is that they essentially rebooted the JSA we've seen in Legends, Arrow and Flash, which opens the possibility of introducing a new Arrow, a new Flash, and new *everyone else*s, which is not something you do when you have another version of the same character already developed.
A JSA show set in the 1960's would have been ten times better, without the plot devices of modern shows.
Being a sucker for superhero movies or shows, of course I watched this. It started a bit slow but I enjoyed the characters and the suspense in the first season. The action was alright. Season one also ended well. The second season took a turn towards paranormal drama, and I still don't quite get the point. There was one brief superhero fight that was pretty cool, but not much besides that. Slow, not upbeat, and it ended in a cliffhanger. I rated this series based on the second season because it was the last one I saw, but hopefully I will make it higher again if it gets better in season three.
