I wanted to like this, but I don't. Every single hero character is excruciatingly annoying. There is literally no likable character to root for. The show had potential, but they let CW do what they do best... Turning TV shows into crap.
It's got a better production value than the typical CW show, but that's about it. The plot is OK, but the dialog is painful to sit through. The cast of villains are way more interesting than the cast of heroes.
I'm trying to make it through the season... Wish me luck
Highly Surprised & Pleasantly Delighted.
Riveted to the TV the whole episode.
DC Has A Hit.
show is annoying. tried to watch 5 episodes. moving this to hidden category.
Struggled to watch season 1. Mainly watched as filler. I just can't get into these high-school teeny bopper joints. Going into hidden just like I did with Legacies.
It's better than I expected it to be, but 3 ep in and it's starting to feel like a CW show. The main character is also painfully annoying and unbearable at (most) times. It's hard to not root for the injustice league.
The show is actually not that bad when the focus is not on the main character.
EDIT: I guess this does air on the CW alongside DC streaming service. That would explain that "CW feel" to it. I will try to stay cautiously optimistic about the show, but I won't hold my breath...
It's funny how the flashbacks and stuff from the JLA days seem like they took place in the 1950s, but it actually would've been the 1990s. It wasn't that long ago!
Seriously annoying show. So glad I managed to finish off season 2. I gave it a chance and honestky it was a waste of time. The dialogue is childish and the acting is just ridiculously painful to watch. None of the characters have any charisma and the story line just keeps getting worse. They keep stupid shows like this but the better shows with better stories get cancelled.
I really ended up liking this series. It felt fresh compared to the rest of the arrowverse, and I’m excited to see where it goes in the future!
S2 has if* its flaws in overall story/plot points but is a vast improvement ki* in most things from S2. It leaves you wanting to see where things are headed in S3 and how it can do better again reducing the flaws from this season such as stray /useless characters being introduced but underutiliesed* underutilised in helping the plot. A much more clean ans child friendly superhero show which goes against most DC/Marvel shows that have hyper action/romance/tragedy etc so I like it for that reason. When it becomes like othehr showss it will lose its special bright 'light' charm.ingness which I hope will not happen.
This is terrible and i have no idea why i still watch it
I think it is not bad. But no even close as good as Superman and Lois.
A bit young but quite punchy compared to other shows good for inspiring the dare and the faith
The ending was decent. However, its slightly annoying that Courtney keeps saying its her destiny and crap to be stargirl when in actuality its not. The real starman isn't even her dad. Now that this information has been revealed shes even more annoying.
just enough story to make you want to know what's going to happen next. as has been said Courtney is somewhat annoying.
So far, I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying this show. There's certainly some CW-style drama, but it's not as trite and repetitive as it is in Arrow and Flash (yet).
Luke Wilson is always fun to watch, even though he sometimes lacks the gravitas needed for certain scenes. And Brec Bassinger is adorable and a perfect choice for Stargirl.
A lot of the high school stuff seems anachronistic, but maybe that's intentional. The whole show seems like it could take place in the 1960s if they removed phones from the scripts.
It’s ok I guess, Courtney is kinda annoying
Fair enough to recommend. They have to work on the character Stargirl though. It’s not that exciting. Almost every adult character was written better.
Dialogues are stupid, zero character building, actors can't act, the plot is a mess, and the stargirl is a winey annoying stupid bitch
A few flaws presented themselves right from the outset.
First of all, the show is Stargirl, not Starman. Why does it start with an action scene revolving around Starman's death instead of starting with Courtney, the girl who will be Stargirl?
Secondly, it's not clear why Starman is such a dick to his trusted and heroic sidekick Pat. Immediately after Pat runs into an exploding building and rescues him, Starman waxes on how he needs someone ACTUALLY heroic to inherit his powers. Of course, the real reason is just that the staff is not compatible with him. Surely it'd be easier to just say that instead of dissing your best friend on your deathbed. Perhaps the compatibility issue will be clarified as a bit of a Thors Hammer "worthiness" scenario, but if so it's still not clear how Courtney is any more qualified than Pat aside from simply being Starman's daughter.
Moreover, if they wanted to say that Starman is heroic, perhaps they could heve spent his screentime showing how heroic he really is?
Thirdly, what were the villains trying to do 10 years ago that was so important it needed to be shown to us steaight away? After the villains defeated the heroes 10 years ago, what have they been doing? Just sitting around and scheming it seems. (And apparently also raising a child in their eeeeevil mansion.)
They set up a (boring) character arc for Courtney where she would have to learn to accept her new stepfather. But then that arc is resolved halfway into the first episode -- not through character growth but simply when she is presented with an opportunity to blackmail her new stepfather (but I suppose she's only blackmailing him "heroically"). Following that, there's no character arc provided for her. Overall, the only real conflict is external, and we're never given any sense of the stakes.
Just in general, the writing is terrible and the acting is unconvincing.
The characters can be annoying and the CGI and physics for stunts are rough, but I still think the show was fun
It will premiere on DC Universe, and only be on The CW on the next day ;)
9.5/10
Outstanding
and the best DC show
to date.
Courtney was amazing
throughout all three seasons
It was wonderful to see her
grow as the JSA
leader and as a person
either when she's
Courtney Whitmore
or StarGirl.
All the characters
were so interesting
on both sides and each
and everyone of them
grew individually on and
off screen. The vfx were
Phenomenal the
Choreographed set-piece
breath taking fight scenes
were off the charts awesome
amazing some of the best
and most exciting I have
ever seen on screen
especially in a Superhero
tv show.
The Crocks were the
MVP'S of the show and
literally carried the hole
of season 3 nearly across
the finish line.
They were my favourite
Characters
Tigress and Sportsmaster
Paula and Lawrence aka
Crusher.
Season one
was the best,
truly outstanding,
Perfection acutely
10/10.
Season Two
didn't really work for
me it went typical
full DC
dark and depressing
just felt that all the
life and fun of
season one that was
so appealing was gone
and was replaced with
dark and shadows
like we'd all took a trip
to the Shadow Lands
and remained there,
but it did have the
best episode of the entire
show and fight set-piece
in that season,
and also I stuck
with it because
Pat and Barb are
everything
and I love
Courtney/StarGirl
that much.
Season Three
was better than S2
and had better writing
and the fact the show
got cancelled I thought
they did an excellent job
of making the third
and final season a
Satisfactory conclusion
with tieing all story arcs
off to bring a definitive end
to a surprisingly well written
show (for DC).
X FINAL THOUGHT
StarGirl was definitely
my favourite DC show
Brec who played
Courtney/StarGirl
absolutely owed that
role and it's a shame
the show got Cancelled
before it had a chance
to explore a
4th and final season.
It was a fun ride while
it lasted and brought
tears to my eyes during in
the shows-finale.
This show was successful
and had got a solid following
within just 3 seasons
and that was down to
the cast Brec Bassinger
(Court-StarGirl)
and all of the shows
cast that made everyone
of us who enjoyed and
was there from the
beginning to it's
emotional season 3 finale
apart of the StarGirl family,
because what this show
did perfectly and got so right was
to tell compelling stories
about FAMILY and how
important family is and
how much they mean to
everybody and what we
are willing to do
and what we are capable
of doing for family.
(To chosen family).
Thank-You
to all involved in
bringing this solid
and arguably best
DC show to our screens.
NEVER THE END
Side note:
(Titans cancelled
Doom patrol cancelled
Superman and Lois cancelled)
The last DC shows
have now been given
there final dates to air
before the cancellations
take effect so after over
a decade
The Arrowverse is no
more and has officially
been dismantled and
closed down ready
for James Gunn
to rebuild The DCU
from the ground up
and begin anew.
(Good luck
with that).
shame it got cancelled. so much untapped potential.
Like it better than most of the DC live action shows. It’s a little on the younger side, but not every comic book show has to be super dark.
I think it gets the feel of the comics, which are a blend of bringing back some silver age hero’s and the new generation of young heroes. That may be what rubs other commenters wrong the old heroes act like old comic heroes, 2 dimensional and overdramatic. The kids start out cliche and then slowly develop, granted some take until the end of the series to finally mature.
The actress playing Beth needs to go back to acting school. Terrible acting.
A CW DC show that keeps consistent quality, I enjoyed tuning into weekly, and doesn't overstay its welcome? This show is a unicorn for bucking the usual CW pitfalls. That is not to say this is must watch or content that needs to be checked out, because its not. It is very much CW content which is not for everyone...I just happened to enjoy it. I felt there was a coherent three season arc that the creators set out to achieve and did just that. Curious of the future spin offs it may have, or what it will connect in with.
Average Season Review: 7.5/10
Recommendation: Watch if You Need Content (For CW Fans)
Aww why did it get cancelled? I was starting to get into it. So sad!
The CW assigned their usual low grade writers to this show starting in season 3. It started out so strong in season 1. Now it’s on life support. Utter garbage.
Maybe if you are a teen you’ll like the show, I tried to “force feed” it for 3 episodes but personally I think it’s too childish for this genre, it could have been much better :thumbsup:
Courtney is your typical “White Girl Doing White Girl Shit”. You know who they are. Being white gives them the “I’m white so I’m privileged therefor I can do whatever with no care in the world” attitude, while all the others girls literally have to work hard / earn. This basically sums up Courtney’s character in this show. 25 episodes later she still hasn’t evolved using her white private to keep moving forward.
I actually like the show it feels like it's getting better too from since the start of the show. Hope it goes on for 6 or 7 seasons at least
Well, 1st episode, I'm bored... Courtney is not well writen and the show is meeeeh . (Courtney goes to sleep with her day clothes, after doing the gymaste and exploding cars and faces...) I think I'll delete the rest and forget about this shit...
The series is interesting but god the dialogues are soft and the special effects are worthy of an E.T? We are in 2021 damn it I think DC could have done better than poorly inlaid green backgrounds et une BO nule a chier ! The soundtrack is also really bad.
It's okay. I've only looked at 3 episodes. Lets see what happens
A decent passtime watch if you can i* manage to ignore the character of Stargirl which has been written bD* badly - making j* her a whiny self-absorbed brat. If they make her mature in S2 and f* manage to write her properly, then that will improve the show alot. Ending of S1 saved the show hence I'm giving S2 a chance.
Teenage drivel. Poor acting from most of the players. I will not be watching season 2...
Terrible. The costumes and names make me embarrassed I watched this shit. And the lead character and her dad are so unlikable oml
starts out ok, with the first 3 episodes and the finale being good, but the rest is your usual teen drama with annoying characters you don,t care about, especially the new Doctor Midnight who does nothing and adds nothing to the show
I wasn't sure what to expect from this and was very pleasantly surprised. This is a delightfully fun show. Plenty of good action and mostly very good special effects. Looks like season 2 will be loaded with conflict and possibly jealousy and a whole lot of other drama.
I absolutely love this show. So hooked!
This show rocks. I love it.
Everything about this show is awesome, the acting is great, story line is awesome, the effects are cool! One of the BEST DC TV shows to date!!!
Probably, THE best DCU tv show; it's not just bad and crappy.
Just sat through the first 2 episodes and I gotta say, this wasn't the typical CW's SJW nonstop nonsense! A refreshing surprise! And the soundtrack was good too. In a sea of junk on this station, Stargirl is not unwatchable, which is saying something. If it continues in the same vein, I'll be a loyal fan.
The quality of the show is a lot better then what I was expecting. You would think it was a movie if you didn't know it was a TV show. Must be a lot of money behind it. So far so good.

Great show, acting could have been a bit better tho. But if the shows go on and the younger cast gets some more experience it will be top-notch. So far the story is interesting enough. :)
I just have to say that the Justice Society was NOT of this millennia...
This show actually premieres Tuesday May 19th at 8p.m. on CW

What an annoying Super Halfwit that girl is, not to mention that her sidekick actually makes Robin look good! Luckily I didn’t have high hopes so I’m not disappointed just gutted I’m all out of Superhero TV series to watch now!
