The high school student Courtney Whitmore, who moves to Blue Valley, Nebraska, is receiving a new path in her life after her mother, Pat Doggan, is a former member of the American Justice Association. The life of this girl seems to be transformed into a new path as she reveals dark secrets from her family's past, receives the very helpful Starman cosmic crew, and joins the American Justice Association for the transformation and start of new training and powerful adventures.
Stargirl is the best of superhero television. It's both light and bright and has a bit of grim and dark just on its edges. Stargirl is like nothing else and it's exactly what we need.
It's not the best DC Universe show, or the weirdest, or the most dramatic. But dang, it made me the happiest, and at a time when things are pretty freaking grim, I appreciate any light bright enough to break through the clouds.
Growth can be seen even across these first three instalments, and if you're able to sit through some cliched storytelling, Stargirl has the potential to shine bright among its Arrowverse rivals.
The show takes it's time to unfold, with key players slowly being introduced and hinted at. The first few episodes do an excellent job weaving the web of connection between each and every hero, villain, and eventual sidekick.
Stargirl is a load of fun. Filled with Golden Age greatness from the comics in a modern setting, it is just a joy to watch. If you are or have ever been a fan of the Arrow-verse, then Stargirl will be right up your alley.
Stargirl is a fun show that's sure to satisfy superhero fans. Plus, those who have spent time with the Arrowverse will be impressed with the series' superior special effects.
Surprisingly fun! A top notch "origin story" that is very faithful to the comics - which is thanks to co-showrunner Geoff Johns developing his original work for tv.
Like the tragic twist in episode three, these backstories are grimmer than the sunny persona of Stargirl would indicate, but they add depth to the series as well as a sense of urgency.
