The Crystal Gems are a team of magical beings who are the self-appointed guardians of the universe. Half-human, half-Gem hero Steven is the "little brother" of the group. The goofball is learning to save the world using the magical powers that come from his bellybutton and he goes on magical adventures with the rest of the Crystal Gems, even though he's not as powerful -- or smart -- as fellow group members Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl. Despite his shortcomings, Steven usually finds a surprising way to save the day.

A-
By subtly building the Gem mythology and developing the characters over the course of the season, the team has earned a certain level of trust, and they could take the show in essentially any direction. Go to Full Review Heather Hogan Autostraddle Jun 26, 2018
Steven Universe is the best written queer show on TV right now, a feminist utopia of fully realized female characters - many of whom are voiced by and coded as women of color. Go to Full Review Kat Smalley PopMatters Sep 21, 2018
Its style risks being read as "childish", but even if the show is, it's not the kind of childishness that patronizes children, and it's certainly not the kind that sands the sharp edges off of the human condition. Go to Full Review Kate Kulzick Consequence Sep 21, 2018
Now that the hero knows the stakes, can he return to his life and friends? Steven answers these questions and more, showing its maturity and creativity and strengthening its commitment to Steven's humanity and that of those around him. Go to Full Review Vrai Kaiser The Mary Sue Sep 21, 2018
Proves the depth and vibrancy of the world. Go to Full Review James Whitbrook io9.com Sep 21, 2018
One of the most joyful and smart sci-fi series I've watched in a long time -- one that just so happens to be wrapped up in the guise of a magical girl-style pastiche and a loveably goofy aesthetic. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kayle G @RT29258000 Jul 26, 2026 Really good show to watch with a friend or significant other together loved it! See more Kapi T @KapiTM Jul 20, 2026 A massive improvement over the already great Season 1. See more Kevin P @RT55971421 Jul 20, 2026 A great second season that directly picks up where the first season left off and greatly expands on the world, characters, and animation quality. Peridot especially shines in tis season and there are so many memorable episodes. The Story for Steven episode is such a sweet flashback episode exploring how Greg met Rose and fell in love while being a young rock star. Susan Egan really shines as Rose in this episode that explores Rose’s love for Earth and how she met Greg. I love the hilarious episode with Jamie the mailman falling in love with Garnet. I really liked all the creepy dream imagery with Lapis and Malachite. Steven and his deescalation ambassador skills are truly put to the test. I love how Peridot just starts sh** with everyone before properly getting to know them. I love the beautiful colorful story of how Sapphire and Ruby met and fell in love in "The Answer". Overall, this was a very steady follow-up to Season 1 and it leaves you excited to see what happens next. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Dec 17, 2025 22 successful Cartoon Network episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more hypmic T @RT12909055 May 12, 2025 A good story development is the best ingredient for an already perfect series. See more KAMEN W @RT38551491 Jan 27, 2025 Steven Universe the absolutely beautiful show it seems targeted at a certain age but honestly anybody could watch it I'd recommend it if you love Adventure Time and if you like Steven Universe I'd recommend watching OK KO. P.S the people giving you one star probably just don't like the fan base. :) See more Read all reviews
