Caught the first episode. It's mostly fine. It's fun. A couple of spots spend a little bit too much time pointing out how much better she is than Bruce Banner's Hulk, but it's not too much. Also some dialogue about how being a woman she could just be murdered at random, on the day to day... a little off-putting. Mutterings about man-splaining. The CGI didn't really bother me.

The origin change does seem awkward. She accidentally just got splashed with some of his blood in a car wreck and that's all it took? It's really hard to look at that creative decision as anything other than "We can't have a man saving her! Not in her origin!"
