REVIEW: Ms. Marvel – Season 1, Episode 6 “No Normal
Ms. Marvel went against the grain and saved the worst for last. (Well, maybe; it’s a toss-up between this and last week’s snoozefest.) “No Normal” is a finale that feels like it had no setup outside of a minute-and-a-half scene at the end of the previous episode, with poor plotting, ridiculo...
