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.
Featured reviews
I had low expectations for this knowing it was teen based and thought it might be to childish but the cast was perfect! The action was decent just the right amount of cheesy humour and a pretty good storyline to boot! The DC Universe has itself another TV gem looking forward to season two!
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.
The tv show is lost between a plot for adults with children's characters and sometimes more boring despite that still a good fun 🙁
Season 1 overall was fantastic and fresh with most episodes averaging a rating of 8 in my opinion better than all the other CW shows I had watched in the past, season 2 is just different and feels like a completely different and childish show, reminds me more of 90s power rangers than a young adult superhero series. I'm writing this after season 2 episode 9, and the last 4 episodes have been painfully bad.
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.
