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
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.
I don't think we've ever seen a series like this before. DC's Stargirl is pure, contagious joy, as Courtney gets acquainted with her inanimate-yet-animated staff and all the tricks she can do with it.
Whilst Courtney (Bassinger) is the main focus of the series, she has an excellent co-anchor in Pat (Wilson). There is an arc to their relationship as she learns to accept him as her step-father and comes to grips with his secret life as Stripsey. Bassinger and Wilson have the beginnings of some great chemistry.
From a production standpoint, DC's Stargirl has some truly cinematic imagery which is accented by an impressive level of visual effects. Those concerned about the integration of the S.T.R.I.P.E. robot need not worry, this the production team are using their budget wisely.
Fun, engaging and laced with a gleeful sense of adventure, DC's Stargirl is definitely a show you're going to want to watch.

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!!
The tv show is lost between a plot for adults with children's characters and sometimes more boring despite that still a good fun 🙁
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!
