It is Maslany who brings the most energy to the show, hating her nickname because it's a derivative of a man's and breaking the fourth wall Fleabag-style. I will say that the bits when she is alone with Banner at his beach hideout drag somewhat, and it's silly quite a lot of the time, but it succeeds. A superhero tale with a serious message but which doesn't take itself too seriously.
-
Credit Marvel with attempting a half-hour comedy series for Disney+, but “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” proves too timid about leaning into humor.
-
She-Hulk, Jennifer, and Maslany alike all deserved more of an updated version to play with, and the chance to push more timely boundaries, than Marvel ultimately affords them.
-
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is zippy, amusing and laden with Easter eggs, but anybody looking for “more” — more darkness, more drama, more cohesion — will be frustrated. ... So far, it kinda is a cameo-of-the-week show — one that isn’t without pleasures as long as you’re not allergic to silliness.
-
The show still searches for its voice, bogged down by larger tasks of fitting into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, developing Phase 4, and establishing this character in a world teeming with superheroes.
-
Proving "Moon Knight" wasn't a fluke as Marvel-sized disappointments go, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is big, bright, colorful, and also too goofy for its own good. Trying to bend the mold is fine in theory, but the mix of sitcom-style tropes and gamma-irradiated powers yields a series that's too weak to smash much of anything.
-
It’s the breeziest, gassiest show yet in Marvel’s developing stable of small-screen properties, and yet it still feels heavy. Not in subject matter, but in its lumbering execution. ... Watching Maslany and Ruffalo, such appealing performers, have some spirited chats is nice. I just wish they had anything to talk about other than Marvel—and their tiresome obligations to it.
-
It feels thin and inconsequential, with not many laughs to pick up the storytelling slack. So much more could have been done with this character and the premise, it’s simply lazy to opt for a “Fleabag but superheroes” schtick.
