Totally forgot about this show. Hope it turns out well, as Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E and the JSA run with Geoff Johns are really damn good comics.
Short interview with Geoff Johns.

‘Stargirl’: A Hopeful Hero Born of Real-Life Tragedy (Published 2020)
The inspiration for the CW’s new DC Comics series is personal for the writer who created the character.

Yep, I'm all in. That was a great pilot. Still a bit weird about the JSA existing up until only 10 years ago though, lol. Funny how they had to blur out the Flash's face so they can cast later (c'mon John Wesley Ship!).
OK, thanks! Hopefully they use the actual actor for flashbacks
DCU, but more family friendly. Much better production values and acting than CW.
Watched it with the kids (probably the only DC Universe live action series I could watch with them). They loved it. As a big fan of the JSA, the opening scene was awesome though it does hamstring them a little concerning the characters they actually showed, plus I can't believe that the police just came and arrested them after what went down, but I'll wait and see what happens.
If Pemberton is the dad, then that's really screwed up: either Duggan is not as goody two shoes as he seems or he's an idiot who never bothered to look at the dad's photo before. That also applies to moving your new family to a town where you know there's a bunch of super villains because you happened to meet your wife while there investigating them.
I can't see her keeping a secret identity in that town with that costume, and her cover's already blown (plus from the promo poster all the losers super obviously costume up). I wonder if we have to suspend disbelief on that or if they won't have secret identities. I mean the car alone is like a dead giveaway.
The gymnastics moves were... shoed in? I dunno how to describe it, I'm not sure why she'd do all these gymnastic moves on it other than to try to make a cool scene?
Other than that, I know Johns has put in a lot of work on this and it shows, so I'll stick with it until the budget drops into the deepest darkest pit.

Joel McHale said she was 18 when cast, but she was actually 19. She turned 20 while filming one of the earlier episodes last year...now she'll be turning 21 a week after the premiere. Show was originally supposed to premiere late last year, though. But I guess the deal to air it on The CW as well delayed it.
Joel McHale also messed up and said that it airs at 9 PM, but it airs at 8 PM. He really Britta'd that interview.
It's a fun series, and I recommend it.
She doesn't become Stargirl and get the cosmic staff until after the series, though. She's the Star Spangled Kid in her solo series.
CW Grundy would be Eddie Winslow from Family Matters in whitepaint
Say what? These words! I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read this.
