What Season 3 of The Incredible Hulk

The season opens with Dr. David Banner, a scientist at the Culver Institute, who is still carrying the death of his wife, Laura, in a car accident. He investigates people capable of superhuman strength in extreme moments and, without supervision, subjects himself to gamma radiation far more powerful than he expected. When rage takes over, he transforms into a giant with green skin. Banner must hide his secret while reporter Jack McGee closes in on him. Each episode takes him to a different place and job, such as a rodeo, a circus or a taxi company, where he meets people with their own problems. Conflicts arise from McGee's harassment and the dangerous situations surrounding David.
