IGN (8/10): She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is here to remind you that more superhero shows should be in sitcom format.
Variety: ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ Gives Tatiana Maslany a Deserving, Yet Dated Comedic Showcase
Collider (A): Tatiana Maslany leads a charming, funny, and thoughtful Marvel series
Hollywood Reporter: Disney+’s new Marvel series leans into silliness, for better and worse
Deadline: Building off some of the strengths of the often unappreciated Ms. Marvel, the final TV offering of the MCU Phase 4 is a skillful swan song that is deservingly intended to fly further afield. In that, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law invokes the famed quip by the Queen of the Algonquin Round Table: “You don’t have to give me strength, God; I have it myself.”
TheWrap: The latest Marvel Disney+ series is a hilarious, grounded smash anchored by a winning and thoughtful performance from Tatiana Maslany
SlashFilm: Tatiana Maslany is a highlight in the otherwise clunky She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
DiscussingFilm (4/5): She-Hulk is a snappy & engaging courtroom comedy that will leave you wanting more each week.
IndieWire (C): Marvel’s ‘fun lawyer show’ doesn’t go big enough. The series gets off to a scattered start but boasts comedic potential and a winsome cast.
ComicBook.com (4.5/5): The MCU's wackiest and most worthwhile show yet
CNET: She-Hulk is scathingly smart and kinda goofy, but not that great
TheStreamr (4.5/5): ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ Review: Marvel’s Smashing New Series
Paste Magazine (8.9/10): A refreshingly grounded She-Hulk: Attorney at Law keeps the MCU's fun streak going
Rolingstone: This half-hour comedy starring Tatiana Maslany wants to be more Fleabag than Falcon and Winter Soldier. Sometimes, it works.
Empire Magazine (4/5): Laugh-out-loud funny, packed with interesting themes, and just an all-round good time, She-Hulk breaks new ground for Marvel’s TV shows — and is one of their best small-screen offerings yet.
The Daily Beast: There \may* have been potential to do something campy and fun with Tatiana Maslany’s lawyer-turned-Hulk. But this cringe-worthy series is a Hulk-smash on the skip button.*
CBR: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is exactly what it wanted to be: a fun show that isn't afraid to examine how different life looks from the point of view of a woman -- even if that woman just happens to be a Hulk. It's not a deep exploration of the differences between men and women, much less what makes people heroes. It might stumble upon some deeper themes because the characters make it impossible not to, but it's not trying to send a message or score points. If anything, the show's biggest endeavor appears to be to make viewers laugh. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law may be Marvel's first true comedy, but the heart in Jennifer Walters' story may make it the MCU's best Disney+ move yet.
BGR: No MCU show on Disney Plus has felt more immediately self-assured than She-Hulk. I’m not going to make any sweeping declarations having seen less than half of the season, especially considering how quickly Moon Knight fell apart. But I’m thrilled with the direction that Jessica Gao and director Kat Coiro have taken the character so far.
The Verge: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is peak uncanny valley, but it works. Individually, none of She-Hulk’s drawbacks keep it from being watchable, and when they’re all working in concert, the show’s able to get by relying on its irreverent sense of humor and ability to laugh at itself. It’s almost certain to go down as one of Phase 4’s more inspired entries.
CNN: Proving "Moon Knight" wasn't a fluke as Marvel-sized disappointments go, "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" is big, bright, colorful, and also too goofy for its own good. Trying to bend the mold is fine in theory, but the mix of sitcom-style tropes and gamma-irradiated powers yields a series that's too weak to smash much of anything.
Gamespot: Tatiana Maslany joins the MCU with a funny workplace sitcom that's worth your time once you get past the first episode.
