Season 1 Review:
Put simply, Ms Marvel is off to a brilliant start. I couldn't suppress my smile for the duration of the first two episodes as the show's colourful world, endearing cast and hilarious wit had me entranced. It's a coming-of-age story meets family comedy-drama by way of superhero origin and it all works superbly.

Season 1 Review:
At the end of the day, she’s still Kamala. More casual lovers of the MCU will undoubtedly love the miniseries for Iman Vellani’s performance and the ambiance that the the production team clearly worked very hard to create. Ms. Marvel may even push more people to dive into the comics that got us here in the first place.

Season 1 Review:
The MCU framework is a rigid one, but within it, Ms. Marvel, with its evil-eye pendants, Zamzam soda, and gaggle of gossiping aunties, is infectious. ... Not every MCU narrative needs to be about saving the world. Growing into yourself is a worthy story too, and so far Ms. Marvel is giving Kamala Khan the space she needs to do just that.

Season 1 Review:
Luminous newcomer Vellani transcends this brand synergy. She makes Khan a warm, funny, awkward, brilliantly relatable heroine. ... It’s heartening to see Marvel put its might behind this much-needed representation. Even if it’s a cynical move to keep expanding the MCU fandom, at least this charming series welcomes everyone in.

Season 1 Review:
The series makes her specific corner of the world feel fleshed out before too long. And as played with infectious charm by Vellani in her first TV role, Kamala is a believably starry-eyed teenager whose bursting creativity and imagination spill over onto the screen — often literally.

Season 1 Review:
While arguably a little lightweight in nature (though, hey, it’s only two episodes so far), “Ms. Marvel” is more just enjoyably small-scale, human, and full of persuasive allure that should melt the heart of the greatest cynic or troll who feels to put up a bad review of something they haven’t even seen.

Season 1 Review:
Feeling closer to Disney Channel's niche than most Marvel fare, "Ms. Marvel" unleashes a teenage superhero in a show as much about coming-of-age challenges than superheroic ones. Fortunately, that teen, Kamala Khan, is played by the utterly charming Iman Vellani, in what comes across like the junior edition of a comic-book-inspired series for Disney+.

Season 1 Review:
Iman Vellani, making her screen debut, is delightful in the lead role, helped along by a very capable supporting cast of veterans and newcomers. ... That specific challenge, how to encapsulate a Muslim community that itself encompasses so much diversity of expression, wasn’t an easy task, but it’s where the show most excels. ... “Ms. Marvel” has an intriguing mystery at its center, bolstered by an appealing protagonist.

Season 1 Review:
Bisha K. Ali and the other writers have crafted a compelling, smart, funny, and poignant coming-of-age story, and found a terrific young star to embody it in Iman Vellani. ... But, then, a lot of the super material feels less inspired than the more personal material.

Season 1 Review:
While there are elements of the show’s visual kinetics that call to mind The Green Hornet and Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Ms Marvel is clearly targeted at a younger audience than any of Marvel’s extant properties. ... Older viewers will likely struggle to get much out of the very teenage stakes of the show (failing a driving test, taking a dodgeball to the face, sneaking out after dark) and the tone is far lighter than in Stranger Things, the other “children saving the world” show of the present moment.

Season 1 Review:
Using a marginalized culture as a crutch to get a new demographic of viewers. There is nothing creative about making a Mindy Kaling version of a Marvel show, especially if it’s chock-full of stale parent vs. teen dynamics lifted from sitcoms decades older than the characters.
