Story: After her public showdown, Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) superpowered identity is no longer a secret. As the media dubs her the ‘She-Hulk’, Jennifer hesitates to take up the moniker as she’s more focused on her career as a lawyer. But now that she’s in the public eye her alter-ego gets her in professional trouble and she quickly loses her job.
However, she is fired from the district attorney’s office for losing the case, which their opponent Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway (GLK&H) declared as a mistrial. After several failed attempts at finding new work, Walters is offered by Holden Holliway to work at GLK&H as the head of their new Superhuman Law Division. Walters accepts on the condition that they also hire her best friend Nikki Ramos (Ginger Gonzaga) as her paralegal.
On her first day, Walters learns that Holliway wants her to work as She-Hulk full-time, and her first case is to represent Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) for his parole. Though initially reluctant to take on the case due to Blonsky’s past attempt to kill Banner (Mark Ruffalo). Walters agrees to meet with him in prison to hear his plea. She later contacts Banner and also receives his blessing to represent Blonsky, unaware that Banner is traveling in space in the Sakaaran spaceship.
Walters calls Holliway to accept the case but then learns from a news report about leaked footage of Blonsky participating in an underground fight club as the Abomination with Wong (Benedict Wong).

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer planned to watch the each episodes on its premiere date because big fan of Marvel superhero films and series.
It follows Jennifer Walters who is a lawyer specializing in cases involving superhumans, also becomes the green superhero She-Hulk. She has a complicated life as a single attorney in her 30s who also becomes the green superhero She-Hulk.
While setting up something interesting for the Hulk in the future, the show does well to streamline some of his past. Despite the still distracting She-Hulk CGI, the second episode continues to showcase Tatiana Maslany’s acting skills. The episode is low on action but focuses on storytelling as Jennifer tries to wrap her head around what it means to be a superhuman. Her internal struggle is layered with an opportunity to prove her worth as a competent lawyer which makes for compelling viewing.
By this point, if you haven’t warmed up to its comedy-drama-oriented tonality and direction. Although after a good start its an average 2nd episode. My view on this series Recommended only if you are interested in female Hulk story.
