She-Hulk: Attorney At Law
Disney+
It's time for a new Marvel series, and this is the latest to introduce us to a new character.
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, despite its not great title, is actually quite a fun show and again feels very different from Marvel's other output.
Each Marvel series has carved its own little thematic niche, none feeling very much like any of the others, and She-Hulk is no exception.
It follows Jen Walters, cousin of Bruce Banner, who, through a convenient (story-wise) accident, finds she also turns into a Hulk.
But unlike Bruce, she gets a handle on being a Hulk way more quickly and is able to go back to her old life of being a lawyer.
Tatiana Maslany, who was so incredible in Orphan Black, is a lot of fun as Jen. The show makes the interesting choice to have her frequently break the fourth wall and talk to the audience about the type of show they're watching - that's a difficult line to walk, but Maslany makes it seem pretty seamless.
While there's something about the crafting of the She-Hulk visual that seems slightly off with the realism, it's easily forgiven as the show is well written and snappily paced.
In addition to Maslay and Mark Ruffalo, the She-Hulk also boasts cameos from MCU cast, new villain Titania (The Good Place's Jameela Jamil) and Jen's fun paralegal/best friend Nikki (Ginger Gonzaga).
Stick around, there's an extra little scene in the mid-credits of each episode.
Never Have I Ever
Netflix
Is there a better high school show at the moment than Never Have I Ever?
The Netflix comedy series just dropped its third season and it's everything the fans wanted and more.
We reconnect with our favourite messy high schooler Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), who has made her debut into school society as the official girlfriend of dreamboat Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Darren Barnet).
But, of course, Devi soon realises that snagging the guy doesn't actually solve all your problems, and continues to be a hot mess for the rest of the season/school year.
This show manages to be hilarious, heartwarming and somewhat deep with a fun cast of characters who you love even when they're making terrible decisions.
Bring on season four!
Locke and Key
Netflix
Also back for its third season is kid-friendly magical horror-ish show Locke and Key.
While the latest season does introduce a bunch of interesting new magical keys with some pretty cool 'powers', the show fails to live up to the excitement of its first season.
Demon/Confederate soldier hybrid Gideon takes over as the Big Bad this season, and is just not as compelling a villain as Dodge was in the first two seasons.
The story also requires youngest Locke actor Jackson Robert Scott to do some work that is a little beyond his abilities.
The series does wrap up pretty nicely at the end, but there's a feeling that so many plot points could have been avoided if any of the characters used common sense.
Definitely the weakest of the three seasons.
