The Review at the End of the Universe
“Summer School: Chapter Eleven”
Stargirl delivers another emotional episode that pushes many characters to the brink, forcing them to face who they truly are and reveal the extent to which they’ll go to maintain the illusion of what they’re capable of.
“Summer School: Chapter Eight”
Stargirl continues last week’s theme with another character-driven and emotion-heavy episode, where personal truths are wrestled with and permanent decisions are made.
“Summer School: Chapter Seven” Stargirl slows the pace of its development to allow its characters to take stock of their current situation, the breathing room not being as helpful to everyone as might have been hoped. As I made clear in last week’s gushing review, “Chapter Six” was a truly spectacular episode of action and…
“Summer School: Chapter Six”
Stargirl takes a huge leap forwards as the current plotline comes to a head, revealing to the heroes what they’re up against, while every one of the new villains demonstrates exactly what they’re capable of.
“Summer School: Chapter Five”

“Summer School: Chapter Four”
Stargirl goes further into its dark side focus as a villain recruitment drive gets underway and some previous antagonists search for some closure, while secrets of an emerging danger begin to be revealed.

“Summer School: Chapter One”
Stargirl returns strong with an episode light on action but heavy on character. Checking back in with the new JSA we get a strong sense of where everyone now is following the ISA’s defeat, and get a glimpse of the new dangers the young superteam will face this time around.
“Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. (Part 2)” Stargirl comes to the end of its inaugural season with a suitably exciting climax. Showdowns are had, lessons are learned, emotions are addressed, and the fate of millions of people is decided. It’s been a fast first ride for Stargirl, but it has more than made an impact with its…
