Jessica Jones

First and third season are both very good. Second season is a little below par. But generally the writing, the characters and the action scenes are just better than the others (although i did like Iron Fist to, unlike most). The villains in season 1 and 3 are also very good. I really hated them and that makes you more invested. I also think the humour is better in this show. Especially in season 1.

One thing i am a little tired of from these shows though, is the tendency to make the so called hero run around and protect the villains. That is so annoying. This weird philosophy they have that if you kill bad people you become a bad person yourself should be buried.

So, the Marvel/Netflix alliance ends here, not with a bang, but with a bit of a whimper.

Jessica Jones (Kristen Ritter) is a Private Investigator, a functioning alcoholic and a misanthrope. She's also, thanks to some illegal experimentation, unworldly strong, resilient and tough. She struggles with the responsibility that comes with being "powerered" and is haunted by death of her family, which occurred in a traffic accident years prior.

The first season of Jessica Jones was excellent. Mostly because, unlike some other seasons of both this show, and the others in the extended universe, it had an excellent and charismatic villain in David Tennent's Kilgrave. Without having the same levels of action set pieces, this first season still is as good as anything that "Daredevil" or "Punisher" could produce. The season also introduced us to Luke Cage, which then spun into his own series and Mike Coulters chemistry with Ritter is excellent.

Unfortunately, unlike "Daredevil", there was a pronounced drop off in quality for the second season, and that run had a dull villain from Jessica's past played by Janet McTeer. Drifting away from the private eye type story and into more soap elements didn't help this run either. We also started to spend even more time with the shows supporting characters, such as Jeri Hogarth played by Carrie-Anne Moss. Though she was great, the show feels watered down when we're spending time with these characters and it's not related directly to what's happening to Jessica. The second and third seasons also suffer from the "Netflix" problem of making 13 episodes, when you have enough story for 8, so plot points are hit over and over again.

The third season is better though. Jessica is back with a case to solve involving a Serial Killer played by Jeremy Bobb. There's more action and intrigue, although it still doesn't match the heights of the first season. It would be easy to see why their hearts wouldn't be in this run, as the cancellations were announced long before this was released.

Overall, I feel like the first season of this is "must see" but the remaining two aren't essential. The show isn't as consistent as "Daredevil" but is generally a cut above "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage".

Krysten Ritter was absolutely fantastic as Jessica Jones! And as great as she was, Rachael Taylor was equally as bad as Trish Walker. I was rooting for her character to die throughout the entire series! Overall, Jessica Jones is a really good tv show and while it's not quite as good as "The Punisher" or "Daredevil", it's still good and absolutely worth watching! Anyway, this is so much more than just a Superhero show, it's an intense psychological drama that is incredibly well written. Kilgrave (David Tennant) is one of the best bad guys in any Superhero movie or tv show ever. He's not the best but he's up there. It may start a little slow for some but stick with it because I promise it gets better. All 3 seasons are great!

Season 1 - 10/10

Season 2 - 5/10

Season 3 - 6/10.

Krysten Ritter is amazing as JJ.

Kilgrave is an awesome antagonist portrayed by an awesome actor.

This is my short and concise review to save you time.

EnJoy!

As a huge fan of Marvel I'm a little biased because I pretty much like everything they put out. My bias aside, Jessica Jones is terrific! If you don't believe me just read through the reviews here and look at the ratings. Even the critics loved this. Krysten Ritter was born to play Jessica Jones. She is easily the best part of the show. This is a show that you'll want to binge as quickly as you can, it's that good. It's too bad that Netflix couldn't renew their contracts with Marvel and they had to stop making the Netflix Marvel shows because every single one of them was great! Now that they're on Disney they can bring these wonderful characters back. They already started to with Daredevil and Kingpin and just renewed Daredevil for another season. Now they have to do the same for The Punisher, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. At least bring them back into the MCU somehow. If you're a Marvel fan then this is a must watch!
