8/10
One of the best DC shows

I was really surprised with how good this show turned out to be. At this point in time, all DC shows, mostly CW shows, were trash and this one seemed to have a lot of similarities with those ones. But I still watched it and Im glad I did. It feels like a perfect classic story of DC. The best of the show is by far, the characters, Stargirl, the entire JSA, all of the ISA, Courtney's family, all of them are the best. Watching them become superheroes and give their best is really cool and is done in a perfect way, they are almost the same from the comics and I love that. Season 1 is by far the best season, the way they introduce the characters and create the conflict is eprfect, I couldnt stop watching the show, and I binged it in like 2 days. The second season was a big downgrade, the characters were still good and the problems they had were interesting but at this point a lot of characters were starting to get introduced, making each character's screentime very little. The villain, Eclipso while good, it wasn't as good as the ISA and sometimes you even forget about him. But the biggest mistake in the second season was the finale, everything felt rushed, characters coming out of nowhere without any explanation and a bad ending for the villain. This second season was dissapointing, but only because the first one was perfect, so it was still good. The third season is the weakest one, because for most of the season instead of a main villain, we have a mistery plot, this sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. There are points in this season in which you feel that nothing has changed and you want something to happen, and while the characters get more development, its not a lot. It is until the last episodes in which things start making sense and are becoming interesting. Still a fine and entertaining season but not as good as the first one and more on pair with the second. It is a shame that this show was cancelled, ecause it was actually good and it felt like it had some more stories to tell. The finale felt very rushed but I prefer that over not getting a finale at all. All I can say is "It was good while it lasted"
