It's for kids
I watched the first episode at the urging of my little sister who loved it, and that was my main thought. This isn't for me, it's very much for kids. And you can say that about a lot of Marvel stuff, but while most of their stuff is "family friendly" or "all ages" this seems specifically geared towards kids and teenagers. And that's fine.
Well, that was actually my second thought. My first was "oh my God, why does everything have this gross hot-pink hue, what a goddamn nightmare"

Wife and daughter and digging this, but my teenagers are into it to. It's light. Other than her powers' origins, it's sticking pretty well to the comics, which I like. I was a fan.
The action sequences in Karachi City looked so good.

The most recent episode went back to British-controlled India and was a major history dump about the creation of independent India and Pakistan. My kids wandered off.
I was a little annoyed by the Najma character giving up 80 years of searching and killing for that bangle and sacrificing her life to close the portal that was now finally open because Kamala made one impassioned plea. That was possibly some of the worst character writing in the entire MCU.
