With just days away for release, critics from select international publications were given access to the first two episodes of the six-part series and the early reviews are now out.

California-based film critic and journalist Courtney Howard said that the series has become her favourite after the makers brought up Shah Rukh's name and films. She wrote, "They shout-out BAAZIGAR, DDLJ and SRK ("There's no such thing as a bad Shah Rukh Khan movie") in #MsMarvel episode 2 so *obviously* it's the best Marvel series ever."
Feature editor Alisha Grauso took to Twitter sharing her reaction to the show. She wrote, "I am happy to report that the first two episodes of #MsMarvel are absolutely delightful. Iman Vellani is a revelation in the role, just irrepressably bubbly and charismatic. But it's not just froth - it's also a beautiful ode to family, the Pakistani culture, and Muslim faith."
Another tweet read, "The first 2 episodes of #MsMarvel simply warm my heart. Iman Vellani is breathtaking, the Pakistani Muslim representation is beautiful, and I love what I am seeing so far. Found myself smiling all the way through ? excited for more!"

LOVED the first 2 eps of Ms Marvel. This is the South Asian rep I want to see. Sugar-coated saunf, dialogue about @iamsrk’s best film, a soundtrack including @hasanraheeem’s Peechay Hutt. Kamala Khan is unapologetically brown and I LOVE IT. pic.twitter.com/O2CKjgUPvR

I've seen the first two episodes of the Ms. Marvel show and I'll keep it brief: It is VERY Pakistani and VERY MUSLIM. It also is having a lot of fun with aesthetic and tone. It's easily the most interesting Marvel show since WandaVision.
