TV Series - She-Hulk: Attorney at Law s1 (2022) [+]

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is a half hour comedy Marvel Cinematic Universe series. Tatiana Maslany plays attorney Jennifer Walters who in the first episode is accidentally infected by cousin Bruce Banner's (Mark Ruffalo) blood and becomes She-Hulk. She is then hired to head a super-powered attorney services team at a high-profile law firm and has to juggle her personal Jen Walters life with her public She-Hulk life. There is no real season long plot like previous MCU tv series and the theme seems to be Jen Walters coming to accept her She-Hulk part of life.

In addition to The Hulk other guest stars include Emil "Abomination" Blonsky (Tim Roth) who hires Jen to argue his case for early parole, the Sorcerer Supreme (Benedict Wong) as a witness, and a cool one with Matt "Daredevil" Murdock (Charlie Cox) as an opposing attorney. Mary "Titania" MacPherran (Jameela Jamil) is a classic Marvel villain introduced in this series and also introduced are The Wrecking Crew though it took me until their next appearance to figure it out with help of a big hint.

Besides the sort of zany situations for Jen Walters she also does a lot of talking to the audience. This culminates in going meta in the last episode where She-Hulk breaks out of Disney+ into the real world. Unfortunately it does lead to a sort of anti-climactic season ending so that's probably the only let-down in the series.

Overall though it's a pretty good series and fairly different than previous series.
