Make no mistake about it, people are loving Ms. Marvel. After launching with a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, the latest Disney+ offering from Marvel Studios is officially the highest-rated series from the Kevin Feige-led outfit. As of this writing, Ms. Marvel‘s Tomatometer has found solid footing at 95-percent Fresh, making it the highest-rated Disney+ show from Marvel Studios according to critics. Better yet, it, it’s just one percentage point away from being Marvel’s highest-rated show ever released.
That honor still belongs to Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther, which reigns supreme on the service with a 96-percent Certified Fresh rating. Ms. Marvel has yet to get the coveted badge, though it’s most certainly due in hours, if not by the weekend. The Tomatometer is made up of reviews from critics, and just five reviews out of the 117 counted have been filed as “Rotten.”

“Marvel Studios’ “Ms. Marvel” is a new, original series that introduces Kamala Khan, a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City. An avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, Kamala is a Super Hero mega fan with an oversized imaginationโparticularly when it comes to Captain Marvel. Yet Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at homeโthat is, until she gets super powers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life gets better with super powers, right?”ย
