I only started watching the show a few days ago now so I won't judge so harshly(no promises). When I watch the show I can't help but feel like a lot of the things are forced and that the scripted lines as well as the plot could be better. I mean girl has a missing dad because he was probably the superhero she never knew wooo surprise. Said girl moves to small town gains new powers gains friends and fights crime and injustice together how original. Not to mention Stargirl is your typical pretty blonde American sweetheart. We're in 2020 we'd like some representation of other races please it's getting old fast. Another thing I'm concerned by is the fact she seems quite okay for a girl who got abandoned by her father and also she uses the secrets she learns about her stepdad as a manipulation device to keep his mouth shut about this superhero life she has now, is this the teen hero we need and want? I beg to differ. She is also quite rude to her mom and stepdad and she is pretty much given so much leeway and that is not something you want kids to adopt. Finally she does not have that much character depth to her which makes it hard to kind of connect or relate to her I guess. I don't know if I'm overthinking it but I know for sure I have seen better shows than this one.

I'm 17 and I can proudly say that this is a good show. It shows good values all in all and the drawings and graphics are pretty great. The story line is a bit slow though but is acceptable and i would like more romance but i think that's my 17 year old hormones raging. I do however have notes on the series. I don't know all the princesses names off by heart so I will go by the colour that they are represented by. I love the diversity and sue me for going into depth like this but come on!. The leader of the three who is supposedly better than all of them is the star. The show isn't called Irisrock so can they give equal time for all of them. Not to mention that the typical blonde blue eyed girl is the lead and focus of the story, were are in 2019 and we still get no change. And it's this type of thing that gets girls or boys to love the white aspects of the characters and not love themselves for who they are. I mean i grew up watching barbie and it was the same thing. there was the black friend and the Caucasian friend and barbie. but barbie was always the center and that made me love her. i bought white dolls of her and wondered why arent i light enough or why arent my lips pink, stuff like that. Tv and shows impact people and children alot so it would be nice to have a black/Asian/Indian/Hispanic. any person of colour as long as they arent bloody white. Next is the sense of uniqueness in the story line. I get that they all come from different places and things but what i dont get is that iris is the superior one. why???? idk. iris seems to be more powerful, has a bigger palace then everyone and even has her own crown and power up outfit. So what the rest are little princesses are the people who aid and then what?, this will give vibes that this person is more important then everyone. If you wanna do stuff like that then at least give everyone the same power like what they did in the Winx club. They were all fairy princesses but they all had grade A awesome power ups and stuff like that. No one was less of the other but everyone was different.

What you don't see or experience does not mean it's not happening out there. What you see in people isn't what there is to them. You see want you wan't see and that has to stop. The sad thing is cases like this still happen in a world that has evolved physically but not mentally.We still have prejudice ,we still have hate , we still have racism , inequality and we still have police brutality. If you clock back to many years ago times haven't changed and it makes you think. Do you want to live in a world where your child or family can fall victim to seeing or being a part of something like this. It's easy to say we must change but it's even harder to mean it and do it

as a person who spent a whole month reading through all the wattpad books I would say I was kind of let down. I mean the characters and the crucial events were really well portrayed but the vibe was really off. I had a sense that something was coming like I was being pulled forward in a direction but towards the end I kind of got stuck or I like left in between a place.It did not have that spunk and mouth watering drama that makes you frustrated with the main character or even want you to pull out your own hair. Like it was kind of simple and predictable that I had to pause so many times to cringe.Hardin or however you spell his name did have the alluring bad boy look but he didn't act like it. In the book or novel he's a lot more guarded and does not give in so easily to Tessa's charm and has a really jaded vibe about him that makes him eerie to hang out with.He is also super violent and emotionally abusive not that I would commend that but it's part of how the writer portrayed him and they should have. He won't always be that way but it what makes his growth as a person more beautiful. The movie was okay as a simple romance but did not at all capture the novelty of the wattpad book.
