The show has a quirky and clever premise. I like a strong but flawed heroine who sticks up for herself but is also self-deprecating at times. There are a lot of quick-witted one-liners that made me laugh out loud. Is it going to win an Emmy? No - but if you just want some fun, mindless entertainment that actually entertains, this is the show for you. Die-hard Marvel fans should keep an open mind and appreciate the show for what it is. You will be disappointed if you compare it to the comic She-Hulk. I like the comics, the Marvel movies, and some of the more dramatic TV shows like Loki and The Falcon & The Winter Soldier. This one isn't like the others and is almost a spoof. Life is to be enjoyed - and this show is joyful.

The show - based on a UK sitcom of the same name - is very funny and cleverly done. Each of the actors plays their character well. Definitely a fun, light-hearted comedy that gives some good laughs.

Yes. The UK version is EXCELLENT. But that doesn't mean that the US version is a bad show. If I hadn't watched the UK version, I would have thought the US version was hysterical and unique. Generally, people do prefer the series they watch first. I loved the US version of The Office and then tried to watch the UK version, but couldn't get into it.

That said, the US version is different enough to make it enjoyable even for those of us who've seen the UK version. While a few of the ghosts are similar to the UK version, the US version has enough diversity in the characters and episode plots to make them interesting on their own.

And as for those comparing the living married couples: just stop. The US wife is optimistic and perky (the UK wife more sarcastic and snarky). The US husband is adorable and a little nerdy (the UK husband a bit of a clueless blue-collar guy). Again - stop comparing. Enjoy it for what it is.

Finally - DO watch the British version. It is really funny.

I don't get why people watch a remake and complain it isn't like the original. Of course it isn't the original - new decade, cast, issues etc.. That is why I thought the first season was pretty good. And Queen Latifah does make a good heroine (despite a lot of misogynistic reviews to the contrary). She is a big girl and can totally carry the fight scenes - way more believable than Scarlett Johansen's scrawny butt taking out men twice her size.

HOWEVER - season two is very disappointing, and I officially stopped watching at episode 10 because of the incessant social justice preaching. I am a liberal and understand there is an overwhelming amount of injustice in the world. But I can watch the news for that. I don't want preaching in my fiction TV.

In season 2, they have dealt with gay rights; the plight of illegal immigrants; racial discrimination, anti-government etc etc etc.. And I don't even mind them making it a plot for the episode. But all of the preaching rhetoric with little to nothing else (ie no action) is boring. I watch TV to be entertained. Not to be lectured on social injustice.

So include social injustice in the episode if they must - but make the message 25% and balance it out with other plot twists and action.

I also agree with a few of the reviewers who hate her daughter. Agreed. Horrible character. She needs to go. Also quit watching because they fired Chris Noth based upon simple allegations of sexual harassment. Apparently, their version of social justice doesn't include innocent until proven guilty.
