The first four episodes of She-Hulk are a delightful ride. The performances of the cast and the chemistry they have with one another far outweigh any complaints anyone could have about the CGI. If the final five episodes are anywhere near this charming, then Marvel has an absolute win on their hands.
A feather-weight workplace comedy that owes its success almost entirely to the delightful Tatiana Maslany in the title role. ... Whether in hulk or human form, this queen of green smashes it.
If the rest of the season follows through on the promise of the first four episodes, with the strength of its clear and unique voice shining through, She-Hulk could prove to be exactly the sort of light divergence this franchise needs.
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.
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.
It’s disheartening to watch something that should play out like a delightfully bad ’80s cartoon squander every last bit of its promise once more in favor of falling back on a hemorrhaging formula. This is Marvel’s latest in a run of grand, ultimately useless tricks to distract from a complete and utter lack of imagination.
