Well, have you binged on Jessica Jones yet? Personally I finished up earlier today, and for the most part I thought it made for some damn fine television. Without going into an in-depth review, I'll just share some of my thoughts on what I felt worked well, and what some of the issue were for me.
Jones herself is an incredibly compelling creation, brilliantly played by Krysten Ritter. Not a hero, not a villain, but she doesn't really qualify as an anti-hero either - Jessica is just a flawed person with amazing abilities, trying to make her way in the world. Ritter is supported very well by the likes of Mike Colter (Luke Cage) and David Tennant (Kilgrave) - but some of the pointless minor characters really put a dampener on my enjoyment of the show. I also found the out-of-nowhere subplot about Simpson taking the "super soldier" pills very jarring, and actually a bit silly when you take the tone the show had established for itself up to that point into account.
Things get back on track for an incredibly tense, satisfying conclusion though, and overall I'd say Marvel and Netflix's second collaborative effort was a resounding success. But what about you guys? Better/as good as Daredevil, or do you think it fell short? Maybe Jessica Jones wasn't your cup of tea at all! Vote in the poll, and be sure to elaborate in the usual place.
