“DC’s Stargirl: The Complete Second Season” Review by Suzanne 2/5/22

I love any superhero show, and I grew up reading comics about the Justice Society, so I never miss “Stargirl.” This season is not as light and fun as previous seasons. Things get pretty dark and harrowing for the young heroes, but I’ll bet you can guess how it all turns out in the end. No spoilers here! My only complaint is that they seem to be taking a really long time to build their superhero team and get it all together. They’re teens, so the writers are taking their time in getting them to mature and accept their roles.

There are three special features on the DVD. One is a gag reel. Another is “Never Alone: Heroes and Allies,” and the other is “Thank You, Georgia: Stargirl.” They’re very enjoyable. You don’t have to have watched previous seasons of the show to enjoy this one, but I think it helps a great deal because there are many characters and plot points. I can’t wait for season 3!

“DC’s Stargirl: The Complete First Season” Review by Suzanne 9/25/20

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this post. The opinions I share are my own.

I never miss an episode of this show. It’s a fun teen superhero show. At first, I thought it was interesting but a bit pedestrian, but it got better as the season went along.  This show is definitely aimed at teens more than the other superhero shows. It’s a little more light and fun than those other shows. Which is not to say that the stakes aren’t just as high.

This is the original season, so it was fun to watch them put together the JSA. The only thing I don’t like is that all of their powers seem to come from objects. I guess it was the only way they could find a way to write teenagers with powers. It would be too coincidental if they all just happened to live in the same town.

The first JSA comics were written in the 40’s, so they were probably wise to update them.  Part of me, though would have loved to have seen a JSA series based on the same ones we saw in “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” with Patrick J. Adams as Hourman.  I used to read about the JSA when I was a kid. This TV show, “Stargirl” is based on a comic book from the 90’s, which is very different.

If you like superheroes, or you have children who like them, you should buy this DVD.  There are no special features on the DVD, though. Perhaps because of coronavirus…a lot of the DVD’s I’m seeing now are lacking in extras. I read that the versions of the show that aired on The CW are shorter than the ones that aired on DC Universe. You would think that would make for an interesting feature.
