TV fans are praising Disney+'s new show, with many admitting they've binged the entire series in one night.
While the new series, Ironheart, is a spin-off of Marvel show Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, fans have hailed it a "powerful" deviation from the usual superhero franchise.
Taking to social media, viewers praised the six-parter, with some binge-watching the entire series in one go.
One person wrote: "Ironheart is full of insanely cool ideas that actually get follow-throughs and satisfying pay-offs. It also doesn't feel like an MCU, which I know has been said a lot. But it's very gritty, and dark, and very addictive! I watched the entire series in a night."

It's better than most recent Marvel Studios theatrical releases and is one of the rare good MCU TV shows. Dominique Thorne is a star, peak production values, no idea what it's leading to but I'd like more."
Meanwhile, many praised director Ryan Coogler – who is known for his work on Sinners, Creed, Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
One person said: "Ryan Coogler knocks it out of the park with Ironheart, bringing his signature depth and vision to the show. After two episodes, it's clear this gritty, funny, and powerful show is bringing something fresh and exciting to the MCU."
