the first 3 episodes and the 2 part finale were good, but the rest turned into a teen soap opera

It was not bad, actually. It was really good. It had a cinematic feel to it too! And the special effects were amazing. Plus, this is probably Luke Wilson's first TV debut! Looking forward to S2!

Stargirl perfectly captures the goofy wonder of old-school superhero comics. The script is decent, the special effects are good, and the actors all pull their weight. Early episodes feel a bit insubstantial but that's remedied as the show progresses. So far, it's the best yet of the CW DC shows. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season, and it's to the show's credit that I'm even bothering to keep up--usually I only binge a show after its season is complete.
