She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Very fun! There's a few things that could be better but over all my daughter and I really like it.

This is a really good reboot of She-Ra.

The aging down of the characters and radical new redesigns take some getting used to, but I got to admit that this reimagining of the characters is superior to the original. We get a large cast of distinctive and interesting characters. What's refreshing about this show is that there are also a wide array of body types and openly LGBQT characters.

The show is able to do a lot drama and character-relationship wise. The biggest driving point is the relationship between friends-turned foes Adora/She-Ra (voiced by Aimee Carrero) and Catra (The Goldbergs' AJ Michalka). The latter in particular is a really-well fleshed out, sympathetic villain.

The overall story is handled really, really well with a fully-realized fantasy/science fiction world, humor, drama, and interesting plot developments. I'm pleased to say that not a single season drops in quality. The final one in particular is a superb conclusion. Also, the show does a great job of balancing filler episodes with serial plot elements, a lot better than Avatar or Voltron.

Only downside to the show is that due to the large cast (understandable since the whole thing is based on a toyline) not everyone gets their chance to shine all the time.

The design style in this, especially the simplistic character looks, wouldn't have been my first choice. However, it works in the end. I respect the detail given to architecture and technology and the use of color.

Overall, I highly recommend this.

I'd been hesitant about writing a review for this show but with the 4th season under my belt I think I've finally got it. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is a bold reboot of the 1980s cartoon. The plot takes some time to kick into high gear, but when it does it is more than enough to carry the story on its own. However the show's best aspect is the characters. Both the heroes and villains are diverse in background, and complex in character and it's amazing to see. The animation serves it's purpose well, nothing amazing but not bad by any means. In summary this show is way better than it has any right to be, and a more than worthy successor to the original cartoon

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power captured my heart. I was told about this show by a young girl who I teach martial arts. It certainly started out as a kids show, but I did like the "Last Airbender" so I kept watching and was soon hooked. The complexity of the characters and their diversity was a real joy. The search for the meaning of life and love by all the characters is amazingly present in this show. I loved the subtle and not so subtle references to other SciFi/Fantasy classics, and even some film noir. Kids will not know where that stuff came from, but it adds a lot for older viewers. The original Star Trek attempted to address controversial issues episode by episode, but She-Ra creates a real world as a single long story with continuity across the five seasons that maybe does an even better job of showing how we can achieve a better society thorough love and tolerance. As a married man in his 60's and father of a boy and girl, I am recommending this as my favorite show this year to everyone I know. Also, who could resist a cool girl with a sword!

I wish there could be more. No series in years has given me such joy as this one. The most clever, heartfelt, funny and gripping reimagined series I've had the pleasure to watch. So many great characters taken from their two-dimensional toy origins and made unique and memorable. The complex central relationship of Adora and Catra is one of the most compelling, and rewarding hero-villain stories I've ever seen. If you're coming to this show with a closed, bigoted mind, it's not for you. But if you want to see an empowering inspiring epic tale of friendship, love, loyalty, compassion, redemption, and courage, you will love it as much as I do.
