Stargirl is actually pretty damn fun? Like I didn’t expect much but it turned out to be a really nice. It has the same lovable dumbass energy as Legends of Tomorrow and it’s just enjoyable The series is centered around Courtney Whitmore

When she moves to a new town she accidentally discovers that her new stepfather used to be part of the Justice League as the sidekick of Starman. The Justice League was murdered years ago and he is the only survivor.  She stumbles upon the Cosmic Staff he was keeping, a semi sentient staff of incredible power which bonds to her. She immediately decides to become a superhero

Pat is horrified at the idea but she doesn’t really give him a choice and she makes him her new sidekick. Once they both get their asses kicked by the villain Pat puts his foot down and tell her that they can’t do this anymore because they will get killed. Courtney instead decides well if we can’t do it by ourselves I will just get my classmates and form a new Justice League

None of them have any idea what they are doing but they are absolutely lovable and the show hits that sweet spot between light comedy and action with bursts of drama and serious issues.

The villains are also quite great. We see them at their most comicky at the start

but in present time they are subtle. They have essentially taken over without anyone noticing. They are the politicians, the philanthropist, the doctors, the rich respectable people. They have become the authority.

So if you want a fun enjoyable new series that’s quite aesthetically pleasing(thank god they didn’t make it gritty and dark) I reccomend that you give Stargirl a try. You won’t regret it
