    So much potential turned into soap opera drama

    Jessica Jones, after season 1 had so much potential, but now as time has moved forward, and liberals can't not push their ideology on long-time, hopeful marvel viewers, have tainted the punch bowl and their mindless drones are pleased. It's a real shame the writers have taken such a powerful name as Marvel and turned it into another avenue to project foolish, non-issues down people's throats.. one word: PATHETIC. Stop, please, stop! So many holes and gaps in the story, which is terrible by the way, anyone who really likes this is just another blind bat with zero sonar capabilities imo. Ugh, almost done with the show and thankful - really really poor writing - MARVEL get a new team on this series FAST - like prior to season 2 or good riddance. Ugh, it really is this bad - sure, it's a comic book character based show so it has its moments of good times, but overall, the millennial drama and liberal agenda is too much, and really, terrible story line guys, seriously, people gave this 10/10... hahaha! Wow! They drank the drone, blind punch for sure, wow, sad. Either way, the story and the sequences, liberal or not --- TERRIBLE. Thanks, and hope you have a great day :)

    Netflix/Marvel keeps experimenting, and it was a success once again

    This is going to be review of entire season, because I think that Netflix/Marvel shows have very unique formula to them, where I can never judge these shows one episode at a time. Ok, imagine a painting, and imagine that you are looking only at parts and reviewing it one by one, in my opinion it will ruin the impression of painting as a whole. That's how I see Netflix/Marvel shows, as one whole painting. They are constructed this way, and I think they should be viewed as such.

    Some people are going to hate this show, but I rated it 10 out of 10, why you ask? Well, this is one of the most unique superhero stories I've witnessed, yes, even more unique than first season. An absolute breathe of fresh air, and I advice you to watch till the end. Ok, if you are here for action - stop watching. If you are here for thrilling adrenaline rush - stop watching. This season had even less action than first, weird huh? Shouldn't second season be bigger? Well, let me describe you my experience:

    At first, I was pumped. Then I was confused. Then I got really confused and was asking myself - "Where this is going?". But then at episode 11 realization came to me, that I should stop expecting a huge explosion and instead concentrate on what's going on in the show right now. And I realized that this is what this season is about. Not conspiracies, not mystery, not finding a killer or saving the world, but about these characters. Because guys, this season is entirely a one huge character work. This is when I changed my focus and season suddenly went from ok to brilliant. Because I tell you at the end of the road, I was left in tears, pay off at the end was something amazing. And no, don't expect explosions, they never happen, well spoilers, maybe once.

    To simplify, this season is very, and I mean very personal. It's not a story about saving tonnes, it's not a story about stopping villains, no, it's a story about flawed people, their personal demons, emotional compromises, about family, friends, etc. And in the end, it is story about Jessica, not as superpowered badass, but as a human being who lost her path, and has to find it again. It was a very emotional season, and one of my favorites among MCU TV shows, and I hope at least some would appreciate it. Acting, directing, storytelling, writing - it's all top notch. And as I said, character work is nothing short of brilliant. Please, don't expect big action, just watch it for what it is, a personal and relatable ride, with messed up "superhero" in the lead role.

    Interesting Beginning/Will Wait on Result

    After breaking Kilgrave's Neck, Jessica is back on the bottle, depressed, hating life. Her clients seem nuts and she is being annoyed by a fellow PI who wants her to join his firm. Trish brings evidence of a gap in time after the deaths of her parents and brother for which she blames herself. Circumstances indicate that things are going to involve her trying to find what happened and who is responsible. Her super violence comes to the fore once more.

    Below Expectations

    The premiere of season 2 was not good. Jessica came off as annoying and immature. Also, they spent too much time on the feminist agenda and not enough time on the story.

    A disapointment

    The first episode of season 2 shows bad signs for the series gong forward. It has an obvious political agenda that it is pushing over the story and characters. Some parts of this episode made me cringe.

    • Trivia
      "The Whizzer" is a real superhero from Marvel comics. His name in the comics is Robert Frank, not Coleman, and his fascination with mongooses is based on the fact that the original character was given a transfusion of mongoose blood to save his life after being bitten by a cobra, a procedure which, somehow, gave him super speed.
