What the Numbers Show
The score is the one figure here that needs care. It is a TMDB audience score, 7.7 out of 10, drawn from 1192 votes. It is not a critics’ score, and it is not a general rating. It is what a set of users on one site gave the show.
That distinction matters for how the show gets read. An audience score of 7.7 from just over a thousand votes is a decent sign of approval from the people who bothered to rate it. It is not a verdict on quality, and it does not say anything about how the show was received by critics or by the wider viewing public.
What the source does establish is the shape of the run. Three seasons, 39 episodes, a first airdate in May 2020 and a last airdate in December 2022. That is the whole record.
The show’s own synopsis puts kindness at the center of its lead. Courtney is described as smart, athletic and above all else kind. The staff she borrows belonged to a long-lost hero, and her step-father once served as a sidekick.
The cast is where the show’s reach shows. Bassinger, Wilson, Monreal, Washington, Gellman, Romano, DeLacy, Brunson, Hopkins, Osmanski, Smart and McHale are all named in the source. That is a dozen performers across three seasons.
The genres the source assigns are Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Action & Adventure and Drama. The show sits in all three at once.
A Borrowed Legacy, Three Seasons Long
DC’s Stargirl is a show with a clear premise and a short run. Three seasons and 39 episodes, from May 2020 to December 2022, on The CW and DC Universe.
The 7.7/10 from 1192 TMDB votes is an audience figure, and it should be read as one. It says a group of viewers rated the show well. It does not say the show was a critical favorite, and it does not say it was a hit.
What the record does show is a complete run with a defined beginning and end. That is the fact worth holding onto here, and it is the one the source actually supports.
Score: 7.7/10 (TMDB audience score, 1192 votes)
