Stargirl

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!

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.

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.

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 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.
