Next, they host a big and very wild party where they supply teenagers with lots of alcohol and drugs. Their attempts to locate the school’s drug dealers and suppliers lead to them taking drugs themselves. Two bumbling policemen, who knew one another in high school, are assigned to undercover duty as high school students. The tv show is based on the Stargirl DC comics character Courtney Whitmore created by Geoff Johns and Lee Moder, with Geoff Johns returning as the showrunner for the live-action series.21 JUMP STREET is a prime example of a police comedy finding humor in all the wrong places, from sex and obscenity to drugs and mocking Christianity. The Character of Courtney Whitmore was based on Geoff's sister who sadly passed away as a teenager and Courtney is his tribute to her.ĭeveloped as a DC universe tv series Stargirl stands out from it's other DC universe live-action sister shows such as Titans ( a dark superhero show ), Swamp Thing ( a horror-romance-inspired series ), and Doom Patrol ( a wacky psychological series). One of the things I appreciated about DC Universe during it's short time was that the service prioritized developing superhero genre tv series which all brought something new to the table.

Stargirl particularly stands out because it is probably the most family friendly tv show that was developed by the streaming service.

When the closure of DC universe was announced Stargirl moved to the CW and the rest of their shows moved to HBO Max. Whilst the show is a light hearted family show there are some dark themes in it too, themes that give the adults some very interesting stuff to think about. Stargirl is ultimately a Justice Society of America tv series in disguise, something which immediately ups the stakes in the show from it's first scene and broadens it's audience appeal into more of a broad laced family tv show than the teenage superhero series most people would assume it to be.
