REVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Season 1, Episode 7 “The Retreat”
I suppose “The Retreat” is better than last week’s episode of She-Hulk, if only because the last twenty seconds – and only the last twenty seconds – advance the plot. The rest is just like the previous installment, a boring, pointless groan fest that does nothing for Jen’s character exce...
Read MoreREVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Season 1, Episode 6 “Just Jen”
I didn’t think She-Hulk could get much worse after last week’s disaster, but Jessica Gao and her crack team proved I was selling them short. “Just Jen” takes all of the show’s worst impulses and amplifies them, sapping what little charm may have been in the lead character and dropping her ...

“Mean, Green, and Poured Straight into These Jeans” may be the worst episode of She-Hulk (so far; we’ve got four more of these suckers to go). The woke feminist stuff is present, though not as abrasively as in, say, the pilot, and it’s got plenty of bad plotting and character work to complem...

And, we’re back. While the pilot of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was as bad as we all assumed it would be, the second episode was a vast improvement, indicating the shift from girls-rule-boys-drool nonsense to an intelligent show that wants to explore some complicated moral questions through a relata...
Read MoreREVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Season 1, Episode 2 “Superhuman Law”
Well, color me shocked; She-Hulk’s second episode is not bad. After that obnoxious pilot, I had pretty much put a fork in this show. But after a rocky first few minutes, “Superhuman Law” is surprisingly fun and human, does vital work rehabilitating Jen as a character, and even raises some fasc...
