Adora, an orphan raised by the Horde, discovers a magical sword which allows her to transform into the Princess of Power, She Ra. As She Ra, Adora encounter the Resistance, and slowly discovers that the Horde - intent on conquering and controlling their world, known as Etheria - and that everything she was raised to fight for is wrong. Adora has to choose a side - between her family and newfound friends. In order to defeat the Horde, the Princess Alliance - made up by the powerful, magical princesses from the different lands across Etheria - must be brought back together. It's a task filled with mayhem, danger, betrayal, and the occasional musical number. There are several confirmed LGBT+ characters, but also a lot of queer-baiting. This series is a Netflix-produced reboot of an 80s cartoon, with a new storyline, diverse cast, and no longer a spinoff of He Man.

One job soon becomes several as Bee struggles to make ends meet. Bee appears to have unusual skills beyond the realm of normal, and some unusual events later in the series explain this to some extent. Despite the cute aesthetic, this series definitely features some slightly more adult things, along with a dark and dry humor, that may not suit younger viewers.
