I am not too sure about this. It definitely feels like more of a kids superhero series. I don't know how to explain it but the brother and stepdad (Pat) do my head in. Their acting performance feels completely fake and artificial, like what you see in a sitcom. The only thing which kept it going for me was Stargirl, I love her, and atm I don't know whether it is because of the character or the because of the actress who plays her. We'll find out.....

Re: Stargirl
I didn't like the brother at all. However I like Pat, I've seenLuke Wilson and his brother Owen in many films and they have a similar chilled vibein terms of their acting and the way they talk. Its just his style.
I have a feeling the show will get better over time. Especially when they introduce us to more of the new JSA. Its quote a fun light hearted show at heart, I think that why it comes across as being aimed at a younger audience. Especially with Stargirl herself only being around 15/16.
Well see how the second episode goes this week.

Re: Stargirl
Its been given a second season.
Then again it was filmed before that was confirmed. However the reveal of the next big bad at the end indicates their plans going forward. As well as a certain someone looking for Pat.

Re: Stargirl
Watched episode 1, quite liked it, I can see it’s aimed less at the black tee shirt brigade and more at families/teens, however all three of my kids decided to dislike it on principle this evening, just because it was my choice on the TV
Get them to watch ep 2 before they decide to drop it. It was very 50/50 with ep 1 because Pat and his son do my head in. More characters are introduced in ep 2 which in turn adds more variety.
I am watching the final two episodes of BSG tonight and the I am going to get right on it. Stargirl is by far the best DC series and it is purely down to the character and actress being so genuine and not wooden like the rest of them.
