I anticipated that this would be to much of a teen-flick for my tastes. I was wrong. The young actors more than good, while the directing manages to walk the fine line, mostly avoiding stepping over it into schmaltz.
The story is strong, with enough twists to keep it engaging to the end.
The antagonists are variously darkly evil, likeable and righteous, which is unexpected and sets up a strong moral dilemma.
Luke Wilson is perfectly cast and the developing relationship between his character and Courtney/Stargirl plays out predictably but with reassuring chemistry.
The final episode is great; classic action elements, turn arounds, emotion and post-conclusion reveals.
It's not going to stretch your mind, but the season remained highly entertaining and we'll worth a watch.
