    Some of the supporting characters (including fellow superhero Luke Cage, played by Mike Colter, who is set to get his own Netflix series) end up with more character development than they would in a feature film, but in the end everything comes back to the same plodding conflict between Jessica and Kilgrave, and it drags down too much of what surrounds it.

    Plays like an over-extended 13-hour arc pitting her against mind-controlling villain Kilgrave. Less would have been more. [9-22 Nov 2015, p.13]

If this had been on network television, it wouldn't have made it past six episodes.

    The acting is mostly decent, but what kills it is the pacing. There isn't single episode that really draws you in and makes you wonder what's coming next. It's just slow, plodding and with more unnecessary padding than any show I've ever seen before.

    What boggles my mind is the unrelenting cascade of accolades proclaiming this as the best show on TV. Have any of the critics actually watched this show past the pilot? It's boring - watching paint dry boring.

    Stay away from this and save yourself wasting 12 hours or so.
