3. DC’s Stargirl

Stargirl was something of an unexpected surprise. The last of the DC Universe original shows, it aired on The CW the day after its release on the streaming service, and that proved to be a match made in Heaven. It was such a strong fit given The CW’s history with DC and Arrowverse programming that the show was automatically renewed for a second season exclusive to the network after the DCU’s demise as a streamer.

Based on the comic book character of the same name, the series saw Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) chosen to carry on the legacy of Starman by wielding his Cosmic Staff to protect Blue Valley. She then puts together a team of young heroes to form the second generation of the Justice Society of America.

Stargirl was nothing short of a delight. Its light-hearted and whimsical tone made it a joy to watch, while its strong writing transcended the typical plot-of-the-week format The CW’s DC shows relied heavily on. With its compelling mysteries and high production values, this show wasn’t designed for television and that didn’t change even when it became a network TV show.

Stargirl was one of the highest-quality shows on television, and not even the new CW’s unjust cancellation of it can dim the light it shone so brightly with.
