Oh, Ms. Marvel. When the show first aired, I watched about 10 minutes before turning it off. At face value, this series was too juvenile and cringey for me to get into. In preparation for "The Marvels", I figured that Ms. Marvel was necessary viewing. On my second attempt, I liked this series much more than I thought I would.
The dive into Pakistani culture was fascinating, Iman Vellani (Kamala) was fairly likable and some of the action sequences (without CGI) were good. The series, specifically the pilot, was uniquely shot and made for some fascinating storytelling elements.
Trust between characters in this series is like a yo-yo. One second someone is evil and the next second they're good, and then evil again. I had a difficult time following the motivations of the antagonists and didn't really care about the final episode. Necessary viewing, but not one that I care to revisit anytime soon.
