Not a good episode. It was borderline terrible. Jen’s terrible dates was so clichéd. And the A plot with Wong and the second rate magician was just annoying and eye rolling. I really have nothing more to add.

Well, this episode was...ah...different. Wish I liked different because the lame jokes didn't do much for me.
I did get a chuckle when the pediatrician oncology doctor dumped Jen because she wasn't in her She-Hulk form.
The after credits scene was also funny. (Wong and drunk girl went through the list of drinks that Wong has drunk in his life.) (Seemed like one of those improvised scenes that they tag onto a blooper reel on a Blu-ray.)

For a second I thought they were going to introduce Ghost Rider. Johnny Blaze.... hmmm.
Episode was blah. I still believe the cgi was best in the first episode and have gone down hill since.

I absolutely disagree with you guys. Loved this episode. It was exactly what I was hoping the show would be. And anyone who meets Tatiana Maslany and calls her a six is delusional.

I liked the episode- I don’t know what people expected from this show, it’s a straight ahead comedy, more like the comics. Was the actress who played the drunk girl an unknown?

I loved the episode and would love to see weekly episodes of She-Hulk like this as a regular series. This is exactly what was so charming about the character and comic book back in the 90’s. Marvel guest stars, goofy comedy plot with a little action and straight up criticism about the macho culture. The whole dating scene in this episode is exactly like several single female friends of mine have told me it has become. Lot of empty headed men who want to fulfill the high school fantasies without committing to anyone
Let’s hope for a Howard the Duck or Rocket crossover at it happened in the comics

I've always felt that Marvel injected enough humor into their "serious" comic books which made them stand out and be different from DC and other competitors.
I know that when Marvel went for satire (Mad Magazine-style) with Not Brand...Echh back in the 60s, it was a flop.

Just wish She-Hulk would up the stakes and inject some seriousness into this series, otherwise, (for me), there are better and funnier "comedies" I can watch on TV.

I chuckled a few times, but the ep wasn’t hilarious… but - like other sitcoms - some hit and some miss.
This was more of a miss for me until the egg cracked and “all hell broke loose.”
Didn’t like the dating stuff, and I hope Wong isn’t in an another ep for awhile.

This show is an absolute blast. Just fun, light and breezy. A breath of fresh air in the Marvel Universe. It doesn’t take itself seriously, not even for a minute. This is just a show where you shut your brain off and just have a tremendous good time.
It has a little action, a little superhero stuff, simple and so enjoyable. The shows brisk pace is just amazing. They blow by in a blink. But, in the blink, they just want you to sit back, relax and watch a show that knows exactly what it is. A show for smiles and enjoyment. That’s all.
It just works and the cast knows this and all of them play it perfectly, especially Maslany.
I’m not saying every Marvel show should play by this script, but what they did in not taking themselves seriously, even for a minute, is produce something that is hilarious and wonderfully different then anything we’ve seen from this brand.
I hope it’s renewed and I hope it remains non-taxing on the brain. Just pure fun.

I’m sure the character will be played more seriously when She-Hulk ends up in something like Secret Wars or FF4.

Loved this one - lots of laughs for me. And I thought the CGI on all of her dates was excellent. Looked very natural and you could clearly see Maslaney’s acting and expressions through it.
Loved the Twitter-armor crack. It’s amazing how people continue to deny that these female-driven shows and movies are simply attacked far more than a male-driven show. It’s so obvious you’d have to be completely blind to miss it.

I really liked this episode. Had some good laughs. My favorite was the “why is this an alert?” bit

I liked this episode. The dating scenes was pretty spot on. Dating today is like wading through a cesspool. I thought the actress playing Madisynn was great. She has over 54 credits on IMDB, but I've never seen her before. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2027868/
Overall, I'm really enjoying this series. I loved that it's a half-hour comedy and has the same feel and tone as the comic books.

Thing is, I still haven't watched that show so SPOILERS totally pissed me off at first but then I thought, damn, I really should have seen this by now and only have me to blame.

I like this one for the most part, but I found Madisynn to be cringeworthy.
It feels to me like each week the secondary characters are overshadowing She-Hulk.

Yes, I thought the cringe was intentional. Wong felt the same way....and then she started to grow on him...
