Even after five episodes, the new JSA still seems far removed from being able to take on these experienced supervillains. The potential for fun in the series’ future episodes likely lies in viewing their determined efforts to try. ... Most of all, though, we have to hope that Pat (Luke Wilson) takes a bigger role in mentoring these young heroes: He’s way too effective and enjoyable a character to be stuck on the sidelines for long.
Wilson’s gentle rapport with Bassinger grows exponentially. ... “Admirably” is a pretty decent descriptor for much of “Stargirl,” truth be told. This isn’t a perfect series, but there’s plenty to admire.
DC's Stargirl emulates DC Universe's live-action series "Titans" and "Doom Patrol" by taking a way-deep dive into comic-book mythology, proceeding with a serialized story at a glacial pace...What sets it apart from those gritty efforts is a lighter tone, deriving a sense of fun from coming-of-age teen heroes mastering new powers, making the series a good fit to share with the CW.
The relationship between Courtney and Pat forms the spine of the series and it’s a welcome change of pace from the network’s twentysomething heroes. Whether that's enough to justify yet another superhero show remains to be seen.
Early episodes of Stargirl are an oddly jittery thing. ... The series starts picking up in those fourth and fifth episodes, in which Courtney begins to make friends. ... Bassinger is amiable and chipper. It's hard to say much more about her given that the role is so underwritten that she blends in with other recent blonde-teen-learning-superpowers performances.
Story-wise, Stargirl isn’t breaking many molds; the villains introduced in the first three episodes are mostly indistinguishable from a lot of the Arrowverse’s rogues gallery, and the drama between a freshly-moved teen and their step-parent is a tale as old as time. But a lot of the charm comes straight from the cast.
I was presently surprised. After not really being interested in this show after the trailers, I happened to catch part of the first episode on TV. Since then I haven't look back. While obviously aimed at a young(ish) audience, the show manages to balance it in a way as not to alienate older audiences.
I love the show. Yes it's very cheesy and it's not super logical. Stargirls hero journey starts a little weird, BUT you can see with how much love this show is made. For me this is the best super hero show from the cw after Legends of Tomorrow. This show almost feels like a movie. Great Special Effects and combat choreography. I like these almost "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" slow jumps and wireworks combats. A lot of great hand and footwork. Great work with the staff. To sum this up: High production value and I love it. Also, no compromise on use of characters in any way. For a fan of course there are a lot of compromises going on compared to the source material, but you have to consider when the comics have been made.

The series is very clichéd and simple. However, the special fronts and the acting are very wonderful. But the writers of this series have no place at all.
From the scenes of the fifth episode, the girl comes to the main character's house without permission and easily moves his belongings, and when the main character sees her, she treats him very ridiculously.
Conclusion: If you haven't really seen the superhero series for a long time, or you haven't seen the series and you're looking to watch a series to pass the time, only then will this series be recommended to you.
