REVIEW: ‘Ironheart’ Is A Solid Disney Plus Series Hampered By MCU Connections

However, the execution of these foundational elements of modern streaming shows combined with the unique cultural lens the series presents likely means it will be someone’s favorite Marvel entry on Disney Plus, even if it’s not for everyone.
