This entertaining Marvel joyride about a heroine who ‘hulks out’ in-between being a high-powered lawyer is not subtle. But you’ll enjoy every minute of this hugely funny, superbly paced show
. But, oh, you will enjoy yourself thoroughly, for at least 28 minutes straight. And, honestly, who at the moment dare ask for more than that?
In the first of many fourth-wall breaking moments , Walters turns to the camera and acknowledges that Nikki’s suggestion is going to need explaining. In flashback, we learn her origin story, which is brief and effective. She and her cousin Bruce Banner are involved in a car accident and she receives an inadvertent Hulk-blood donation.
After she does indeed “hulk out” – in order to protect the jury from superpowered influencer Titania who busts through the wall as she flees court traffic – her firm decides she is a liability and fires her. She is later taken up by the firm who was opposing her in court, who are setting up a superhuman law division and want her to lead it.
It is not a hugely subtle show . It isn’t trying to be, it doesn’t want to be. There are stock figures aplenty, including the mother more concerned with her daughter’s waistline and single status than her superpowers, a ratfink colleague at work everyone can love to hate, but they all get their job done with wit and charm. And it has plenty of cameos from beloved MCU characters – foremost among them Dr Strange’s sorcerer Wong .
