She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is one of TV's best action cartoons. Go to Full Review

Netflix's reboot is warm and cheerful while not dismissing anyone's emotions, especially those that younger viewers can relate to. As much as it is about adventure and superpowers, it's also about kindness and empathy. Go to Full Review

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power ... features a whole team of heroes for young viewers to admire. The emotional core of the show holds fast, the heroics ring true, and the format is stunningly executed. Go to Full Review
Ash Jefferson But Why Tho? 01/22/2023
This is the kind of show that I wish existed when I was a kid. It’s action-packed, emotional, and so much fun. I was hooked the entire way through and I can’t wait to see what happens next. Go to Full Review

The new 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' is called to delight a whole new generation of young viewers with a good story, great intentions but with a failed animation that I hope can be solved. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Ilyas Z @Zellai Dec 17 It's an amazing animated TV series and too good to be bad. See more Azure T @RT58822391 04/03/2025 This season was... something. It mostly suffered from relying too heavily on exposition rather than showing through action, and its character development felt underwhelming. However, as the first season, it laid some foundational groundwork. The first and last episodes were the strongest of the season. The Sword (Parts 1 and 2) and The Battle of Bright Moon stood out, though I’m only saying they’re the best for this season. The humor often comes off as overly childish, and many episodes felt expository, relying on filler content. I also disliked Entrapta’s portrayal. While her character—a geeky, kooky robot enthusiast—has potential, she mostly serves as comic relief here, lacking depth beyond that role. Adora and Catra were likely the most compelling characters this season. Bow and Glimmer rank second. Bow feels like an overly compassionate, perhaps underdeveloped archer, while Glimmer, despite having a good heart (at times), came off as annoying. Both characters felt more like functional sidekicks than fully realized humans. Their personalities were distinct but not explored deeply. Most other characters, aside from the protagonists, were underdeveloped and one-dimensional, with Perfuma being particularly underwhelming. While some had fleeting moments of depth, their largely unexplored traits made even impactful moments—like the fake-out of Entrapta’s death—feel underwhelming.

See more Michelle F @RT40546328 12/19/2024 This can’t even compare to the first Original She-ra. Couldn’t watch past the first few episodes so terrible. See more Mike P @RT09890132 10/18/2024 Solid reboot of the classic 80s Filmation series...All about the fairy-goddess Princess Adora; sister of He-Man; battling the cyborg-Lord Hordak; and his evil Borg-like Horde; for dominion over the otherworldly paradise Etheria.. And this has very nice animation; spirited characterizations and storytelling...And it also nicely builds upon the very sturdy foundation that was established by The Masters of the Universe franchise of the 80s ...That sugary confection of Star Wars, Flash Gordon and GI Joe, which was actually very ambitious and influential in it's day... And the story is STILL expansive and exciting...Still with an ambitious scope and excellent set pieces...Indeed, She-Ra is a real SHE-RO!! For the honor of Greyskull!! And the honor of Netflix!! Recommended 👍 See more Ted C @RT13659009 10/12/2024 we're gonna win in the end! See more Read all reviews
