TV REVIEW: SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW - Season 1


4/5

Flea-Hulk.

8 Episodes. Starring: Tatiana Maslany, Jameela Jamil, Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Mark Linn-Baker & Mark Ruffalo. Created By: Jessica Gao. 

You will LOVE it when she's angry! All the way from the opening title-card switch, down to 'She-Hulk: Attorney At Law's' changing courtroom caricature closing credits. Would you like my opening statements? Some of the people tried to hate again, calling foul, like they did the marvellous 'Ms. Marvel'. But this is one of the best Marvel programs since these Disney + ones began with the Vision of Wanda like that said show, 'Moon Knight', or the 'Hawkeye' holiday special. And if it will please the court of public opinion that thinks everything is too woke these days. What if 'She-Hulk' was around way before they were wearing the diapers they still need to get their mother to change? It's comical, but I just watched an 'Incredible Hulk' animation from the 90s this morning that I'd like to enter as evidence. 

Smashing walls and breaking balls like 'Fleabag', or the 'Deadpool' that did it first, if you want to scratch and split hairs like ends, this 'Attorney At Law' brings the great 'Ally McBeal' legal comedy to the trademark Marvel humour. And how about that meta gala of a fantastic finale that gives (and asks) for everything we want and don't need? All whilst taking it to the monsters hunting and Marvel's own sense of set-piece spectacle. Paying tribute to that incredible seventies show too, this Hulk is as loyal to the legend as Lou Ferringo who has voiced this not so jolly green giant longer than your average beanstalk. Suit up and shut up, haters, because this green series, mean machine may have come before a Mark Ruffalo movie, but the brothers blood cameos here for some origin story mentoring responsibility. Besides, he may be off to 'Planet Hulk' anyway (here's hoping like the 'Ragnarök' preview) and there are plenty of helpings from 'The Incredible Hulk' Edward Norton movie and a great gag about all that. Here's a great moment to pay tribute to the late, great William Hurt. So good as Thunderbolt Ross for multiple Marvel movies. If only we got to see him Red Hulk out just once, like the 'Age Of Ultron' that failed to go grey.

Sun's getting real low, and it would be an abomination to spoil all the appearances here. And we've already Ruffalo-ed you like our name was Tom Holland (no, no, he's not here. Not like anyone would recognize Peter Parker, right now). But there's an even better brick catching intro from a legal aid that opens up all sorts of avenues back to New York, from the ketchup and the mustard of the kitchen. And everyone's favourite Marvel cameo and go star, if you wanted more. Not to mention the world's baddest rapper in the game. All those complaining about the twerking like this was Miley Cyrus need to get off the dance floor. Because this is a fun-filled fangirl pleasing formula that reacts like gamma. Toxic Twitter trolls with their ray-guns always go radioactive. Oh yeah, and before they give it the walk of shame. A consenting Catholic and an independent woman can do whatever they want. No need for a confessional or summons. Save the choir-boy virtue signalling or subpoena. The compelling chemistry is enough to make a whole new superhero for Disney +. Born again. 

Check any abnormal amount of rage at the door with that suit jacket that makes you look like a 2000s NBA power forward on draft day. There's a jury of a class cast in support. Most notably friend and colleagues Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra and father Mark Linn-Baker in her chambers corner. Whilst the influence of Jameela Jamil in Jessica Gao's great series in season as Titania vs Tatiana is inspired in holding up a black mirror to our filtered lens of social media self-importance. How she's let this all play out on Twitter is perfect, too, especially for those who just don't get it. But we all know who the real star of the show is. The legacy making, 'Stronger' actress Tatiana Maslany, slaying as the legendary She-Hulk, recreating an iconic character for our screens and times. She looks perfect for the part (the CGI is great too, but books need to be thrown if those overworked and underpaid rumours of the digital animators are true) as a Hulk and the great Jennifer Walters. Many a Jessica Rabbit fanboy fantasy will come out of this like a 'Weird Science'. But I'm team Jen all the way for the Science Brother's cousin. Swipe right. Yes, Iron Man died for this. She is She-Hulk. Really incredible. Smashing. The defence rests. Hulk review out. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

Further Filming: 'Fleabag', 'Ally McBeal', 'The Incredible Hulk (the Edward Norton movie, or that seventies show)'.
