While the first episodes may seem light and silly, I would advise you to watch "Steven and the Swordfighter" to get a better opinion of the show. Steven universe has an interesting history about a post-alien invasion earth that is slowly being revealed, and this episode explains some of their powers without confusing a new watcher. Please give it a try :)

I honestly thought that Steven Universe was going to be like you thought, and the first episodes... were. But when it really starts kicking off, it's amazing! There is a lot of mystery about the past you can uncover in the show, and all the characters feel really real and unique.

Please watch "Steven and the Swordfighter", it's a good place to start!
