Netflix’s She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is back with a new season, which includes 13 episodes. This season takes a dark turn as the Horde gains the advantage over the princesses, the threat of Horde Prime looms, terrible secrets are discovered about the First Ones, and a rift develops between Adora (Aimee Carrero) and Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara). It’s a fully packed season, with plenty of goofy humour just like any other season of She-Ra, but this one definitely feels darker overall, for better or worse. A lot of the season revolves around Glimmer learning how to embody her new role as queen, and it is not a smooth journey. While it’s nice to see the show takes Scorpia’s character in new directions. She’s definitely one of the best characters on the show, and we finally get to learn about some of her background. If you want answers about everything, this season is the one to watch. It also ends with a big change, from which She-Ra will never be the same. For all of the serious stuff going on, there are still plenty of hijinks too. This is She-Ra after all. The plot is packed pretty tightly this season, especially as the princesses lose more ground than ever to the Horde. The stakes are higher than ever, and you can feel that tension in every episode. It’s both exciting and fun in a way that only She-Ra can be. With the fundamental circumstances of the show changed however, it’s anyone’s guess what next season will look like.

Definitely, worth a watch! Rating:
