This week we check out the latest MCU television series on Disney+, She-Hulk, about Jennifer Walters, cousin to Bruce Banner/ The Hulk, who ends up inheriting his hulky powers in a freak accident and has to figure out how to balance her new superpowers with her her goal of leading a normal life as a lawyer. With a stellar cast and a writing team that seems to want to try something different, does this sitcom/workplace comedy setup have what it takes to wake us from our MCU fatigue?

Chinese Republicans, a new play from Alex Lin
Coming to the Roundabout Theatre Company this winter, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin, directed by Chay Yew, following three high-powered businesswomen who meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.
