    A low stakes light hearted courtroom drama that despite it's effort still feels beholden to the waning Marvel comedic formula and it's recent decline in VFX quality.

    It's not exactly what I expected, but the series is good. By the way, for some reason, he always says 'a lawyer series' in the first episode. No, you're not a lawyer string, the real lawyer and superhero show is Daredevil

    This is not just feminist propaganda, it’s a whole “anti men” movement…

    Just more Marvel fluff. Black Widow was the last good Marvel thing, and that is only because the martial arts in it were decent. Only Star Wars has gone downhill faster than Marvel has.

    I get the same feeling as drinking lukewarm tea when I try to sit through it. Also I'm a single straight white male in my late 30s so apparently I hate women.

    I want to say that a show must not be good to be entertaining. This show is neither great, nor true garbage except the awful season final and I got some enjoyment out of it but it should have been better. To be fair I am myself not sure why I watched all episodes. For a comedy it should be more funny and for a super hero show it should have more super hero stuff.

To be fair I am myself not sure why I watched all episodes. For a comedy it should be more funny and for a super hero show it should have more super hero stuff. The courtroom drama worked while being under-cooked and used not enough. I would blame the writing and directing but am not sure if I am the target group and can make that statement (Who is the actual target group by the way?). Lets go to the source. I actually read the She Hulk comics in my youth and liked her stories. She is a super hero while being grounded by her job as lawyer (Child of both worlds?). Also the 4th wall breaks are source correct and it was before Deadpool started that if I remember correctly. This formula should have been the gold standard. Here a fight against super villains followed up by legal trials and real life proplems. Those trials could be the stuff of legends like all the problems superheroes could face. To be fair I see that they tried a bit of this. But they could not win me over. I liked the main actress Tatiana Maslay, Jameela Jamil, the guest stars I wont spoil and some of the humor. Sadly those could not turn the tide. The dialogues, pacing and ideas failed more than they hit. The final could not help as I thought WTF did I just saw. On paper it looks interesting and brilliant but on screen it did not work. The sets, costumes and CGI were fine. I expected a mess in the CGI department but the show delivered here. Overall I could still not answer why I watched the show. Would have given a 5/10 but go to a 4/10 for the last episode.… Expand

    I checked. This is not the 2009 she-hulk show. But it ain't much better, folks. What has happened to the MCU since Infinity War? Did they review the data and conclude that quality just does not pay? And if so, how do you make money while attacking a large portion of your viewing audience? I mean, the math just doesn't work...

    Honestly I don't think it's fair to call this show bad based off of the first episode. As far as pilots go it built up the character well enough. I like the character of She-Hulk from the comics so I'm excited to see where it goes from here. It's fine really, the CGI wasn't amazing but it's not like it was an offense to the senses like some of the other people here are saying. Really it's... fine.

    Based on Episode 1 it's hard to say much about the show except that it lacks any sort of hook to keep you engaged. It's a more "light-hearted" Marvel show, similar to Hawkeye, but lacks the charm or in-character humor to make it work.

    I saw the first episode of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law and it was pretty underwhelming. It is an origin story for Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer, the cousin of Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk. She is an aspiring attorney who gains the hulk powers when she is exposed to Bruce's blood and gamma radiation in a car crash involving aliens.

She is an aspiring attorney who gains the hulk powers when she is exposed to Bruce's blood and gamma radiation in a car crash involving aliens. That sounds pretty convoluted and it is, it isn't explained very well, and there are definitely plot holes. She trains with Bruce and everything is done in this very corny, attempting to be humorous way. There are also of course woke elements to the narrative like pitting the genders against each other and addressing the issues of misogyny and sexism facing a 30-something year old woman in the legal profession. The liberal angle of the show didn't bother me as She-Hulk has always been a feminist icon, but I didn't find the humor very amusing and the stakes in the story didn't seem that high. It just wasn't that interesting.… Expand

    I wanted so bad to hate this show, but my wife and I liked it enough to watch the second episode. It loses 3 points for being overly feministic. We rolled our eyes several times because it was so blantantly thrown in our face. We like the origin story even if it does sway from the comics. The humor was pretty funny at times. Not a bust, but very cautious about the upcoming epidodes.I wanted so bad to hate this show, but my wife and I liked it enough to watch the second episode.

    I've seen worse. I've also seen better. MehCU at it's finest. Don't really appreciate the tone-deaf left pandering too, it's obvious to anyone with two functional brain cells they're just trying to profit off the culture war and the knee-jerk reactionary review bombers fell for it hook, line and sucker.

    This isn't the "woke garbage" that losers online like to complain that it is but it's incredibly bland, boring and unfunny. The Daredevil episode was easily the best one.

    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.

    “She-Hulk,” in fact, is probably the most network-like series Marvel has produced. It goes for the quick laughs, embraces a cavalcade of bizarre guest stars and lets Maslany play both sides of her Priscilla Presley hairdo.

    Credit Marvel with attempting a half-hour comedy series for Disney+, but “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” proves too timid about leaning into humor.
