Summary
Reviewers say 'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law' garners mixed reviews, praising Tatiana Maslany's performance and its unique legal drama-superhero comedy blend. The show's meta humor, fourth-wall breaking, and Marvel character integration are highlighted. Criticisms include inconsistent CGI, lack of action, and uneven humor. Some appreciate its attempt to diversify the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a female-led comedy, while others find it lacking depth and coherence. The series is deemed entertaining yet flawed, with varied viewer opinions.
Featured reviews
The first episode was fairly weak, especially the writing, but it's unfair to judge a series on a single show. The next two episodes have gotten even worse, with Tim Roth being the only saving grace. The drivel that passes for dialogue is horrible, and I assume they hired the actress who plays Nikki to make every one else seem more competent. She is atrocious!
I've sat through some Marvel garbage (C & D comes to mind), but this may be worse!
I've been trying to find positive attributes because I'm a fan of the genre, but the terrible writing has made that nearly impossible.
Don't forget this bit either; it's not funny for a comedy and the legal aspect is straight out of a children's cartoon.

Marvel was once an unstoppable juggernaut of quality, with entertaining stories and yes even some thought provoking asides. But after 2019 it's like a totally different team is running things.
Marvel is just milking money and throwing content onto the screen with barely any thought or coherent structure.
I hope the show improves because there's talent here (especially Tatiana Maslany) but this show is failing its star and more importantly failing its audience.
But on a larger scale Marvel needs to course correct... and quickly, before all the trust and goodwill they earned is squandered.

Marvel Studies proclaims that this is a "sitcom" in all their marketing materials but it is painfully unfunny. The writing is juvenile, the quips and dialogue between the characters is neither witty, clever, or even interesting. Did anyone on the set laugh at this stuff as they were filming It, because if not they should have many adjustments to the script in real-time.
The main character is boring, she goes through no challenges and therefore experiences no character growth worth watching.
These first three 25 minute episodes have been an absolute slog to get though, since I'm often pausing to find myself doing something else.
Awful writing is a real letdown to what is an otherwise interesting character in the comics.

I have to admit I'm a huge fan of Marvel so I always look forward to everything they do and so She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was no different. It's definitely the worst of all the Marvel shows (well at least this or Echo) but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. It's different from the other Marvel shows and movies as this is a comedy but that doesn't make it bad, just different. Even though it's my least favorite but that's only because I love all the other shows so much. I don't understand some of these negative reviews. What did you expect and not get? Did you not watch the trailers or read the reviews? You knew it was a comedy going in. Tatiana Maslany does a great job as She-Hulk and Jennifer Walters. It wouldn't be the same with another actress. I also loved all the cameos from Hulk, Daredevil, Wong, Abomination, etc. Don't let the negative reviews deter you from watching this, if you're a Marvel fan then watch this.
Look, all the people giving the show 1 star reviews, because of some comment about cat calling in the first episode, don't really get to the heart of the problem. Can we please just get one of the terrible Marvel shows with a straight white male lead, so we can shut up about people hating women or people with dark skin?
The show isn't funny, it's not exciting, it's not emotional, it doesn't seem to have a useful message, so what's left at that point. Are there so many people out there, that can watch a boring unfunny show, just because it so amazing to have a female feminist superhero on screen?
The 4th wall breaking seems completely out of place and isn't used for anything other than repetitive exposition, so it just comes off as cringy.
Tatiana Maslany is a great actress and she's not unlikable in this show, she just doesn't have much to work with. If the best the writers can come up with is a joke about her falling off a chair, then you could have put Meryl Streep in the lead an still not have anything to show for it.
Honestly Marvel, hand the TV shows back to the people who did the Netflix shows. Daredevil, The Punisher and Jessica Jones were very good for the most part, and you're shooting yourself in the foot if you continue to go down the path of the Disney era shows, almost all of which have been mediocre at best.

- TriviaAlthough each transformation from Jennifer Walters to She-Hulk and back is created using CGI, Malia Arrayah plays She-Hulk on-set for having reference of She-Hulk size (her face is replaced by the Tatiana Maslany using CGI). Maslany is 5' 4" (1,63 m) tall, while Arrayah is 6' 5¼" (1,96 m) tall.
- GoofsIn two of the first three episodes, in the courtroom they show the defendant seated at the table closest to the jury box. In American courts, the defendant is always seated AWAY from the jury, in the interests of safety. (This gives the bailiff more time to react should the defendant attack the jury.)
- Crazy creditsThe closing credits are a sequence of courtroom sketches, which vary depending on the episode.
