She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Just finished season 5 and absolutely loved it. In my opinion this show is exactly what it aims to be: empowering, fun, and emotional. I can say honestly that I did get invested in a few of these characters and loved seeing their growth and where it led them in the climax of this story. I definitely recommend you at least give it a shot if it's even remotely close to your taste in shows.

I am a 34 year old dude who grew up on HeMan and I created an account here to say I unironically loved this show.

I was beaming when she first transformed. Chills.

My kid can absolutely watch this if he wants to because awesome role models are awesome for us all.

This is a really good reboot of She-Ra.

The aging down of the characters and radical new redesigns take some getting used to, but I got to admit that this reimagining of the characters is superior to the original. We get a large cast of distinctive and interesting characters. What's refreshing about this show is that there are also a wide array of body types and openly LGBQT characters.

The show is able to do a lot drama and character-relationship wise. The biggest driving point is the relationship between friends-turned foes Adora/She-Ra (voiced by Aimee Carrero) and Catra (The Goldbergs' AJ Michalka). The latter in particular is a really-well fleshed out, sympathetic villain.

The overall story is handled really, really well with a fully-realized fantasy/science fiction world, humor, drama, and interesting plot developments. I'm pleased to say that not a single season drops in quality. The final one in particular is a superb conclusion. Also, the show does a great job of balancing filler episodes with serial plot elements, a lot better than Avatar or Voltron.

Only downside to the show is that due to the large cast (understandable since the whole thing is based on a toyline) not everyone gets their chance to shine all the time.

The design style in this, especially the simplistic character looks, wouldn't have been my first choice. However, it works in the end. I respect the detail given to architecture and technology and the use of color.

Overall, I highly recommend this.

Very fun! There's a few things that could be better but over all my daughter and I really like it.

Thank you so much for this Netflix. How I wish I had a show like this growing up. One I could relate myself too. One that is truly inclusive. Nothing is complicated in this story. Everything comes naturally. Thank you.
