“I don’t want to be a Hulk. I just got my own office!”
As Los Angeles deputy district attorney Jennifer Walters, the unerring Tatiana Maslany aces that line like, well, like an ace in the new Disney+ series “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” premiering Thursday. Four episodes were made available for review. It’s quick-witted and engagingly randy — in one scene, Jennifer presses her cousin Bruce Banner for details regarding Captain America’s sexual resume — and in episode four our heroine sleeps with a hunky doctor who listens.
There’s a bittersweet morning-after coda to that scene, and it’s an exception to the generally quippy vibe of “She-Hulk.” Allow me to approach the bench with one advisory. The script’s self-referentiality and fourth-wall-Hulk-smashing, which comes straight from the original She-Hulk comics launched in 1980, can’t go much further than it does by episode four without becoming less fun.
