Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
karmazyn .....average 2nd season. How something that have started so well tumbled into the abyss of mediocrity. Season 2 is constanlty trying ti drive really intreating character into the ground. Jessica is a PI, they should have focused on diffrent case in each episode with one main theme running through several seasons. The plot is tiresome in this one. Watch only if you have absolutely nothing else to see.
blackrose909 This show seemed so promising. The mysterious past, the sardonic sense of humour, the whirl of supporting characters with hints of their own demons. Now that I've watched all of the first season, I'm convinced that there's no meat on the bone. The only thing that made this worthwhile was the character of Kilgrave (and the actor with it). Apart from that, it's a wannabe super-hero movie/series with glimpses of Sin City, a zombie show and Suits, but doesn't manage any of these well. I am disappointed. I really liked the sound of each character, as well as the plot, but it just doesn't come together, no matter how long I waited. Wasted talent.
p_t_r The first season surprised with its dark setting, a drunk unwilling hero, a very evil villain and nice side story/love interest, nice setup for Luke Cage. I thought season 1 was really good.Come season 2, with much anticipation....what a load of badness! I don't know why there had to be this overbearing female director/script/actor thing, but it messed up everything. I'm not against feminism etc, but we're talking story telling here, not a manifest for 'women can do these things too', which I know already. Please stop being so...preoccupied with that, please. I hope the producers choose the best suited PERSON for the job/direction/script/actor, not based on gender. That's gender equality.Back to the script for season 2, it's just plain boring. No real point, only sidequests. It started interesting with the origins of Jessica, but derailed quickly. The Jeri story could have been left out completely, the Trish addiction story is contrived, the mother/daughter story feels like nonsense. Beside the plotholes, there is no real tension, no villiain. The last 6 episodes were a real pain to watch, but I really wanted it to become better...alas...the ending suits the season.Sadly no seperate stars per season (idea IMDB?...) S1 - 7 stars S2 - 1 star
anselmdaniel Season 1This review contains spoilers for the first season.Jessica Jones is a Netflix exclusive television series that is set in the Marvel universe. The series follows Jessica Jones a private investigator with super powers. The series also follows other characters Jessica is acquainted with. The series arc is overcoming Kilgrave, another human with superpowers.Jessica Jones has some great components. David Tennant as Kilgrave is great. The actor does a great job portraying the villain that can control minds through speech. The series does a good job in setting up the character before the audience sees him through Jessica's flashbacks. It was clear that the writers intended for Jessica to overcome the post-traumatic stress disorder that was brought on by Kilgrave's control. Likewise Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones does a good job in the role. She plays the private detective plagued by her past well. The story and writing is overall good but suffers from some problems. The story's focus is on Kilgrave, but the series sets him up at the start and spends a few episodes focusing on other characters. The story could have been improved by editing out the characters or by shortening the length of the season. The season was and should always have been about Kilgrave and Jessica. The side characters in this show are still interesting but reinforce the same main arc of the story. Nothing new is added by including these stories even when they reach their satisfying conclusion. It seemed as if these side arcs were meant to be filler with very few times they are reused in the main arc.The directing and editing are bland overall. There were not any scenes that stuck out as impressive. The main draw to this series is its high budget and actors.Overall Jessica Jones season 1 is a worthwhile watch even though the story can be uneven at times.
