Recommendation rating: 3/5
What I like about it: characterful, funny, good acting
What I don’t like about it: second half is too Marvel-y
Review:
This show has a winsome charm and a very fun lead. There’s a lot of fun had in the editing of the pilot that sadly (but predictably) isn’t sustained further in the series and it definitely lulls in the second half as the CGI action is turned up to 11. This is the most fun I’ve had watching a Marvel product since The Avengers but it would be better if all the character weren’t replaced by garden-variety comic book action at the half-way point.
