    She is not the most attractive protagonist on television but at least the story stayed well and had an excellent villain. But it did not needed 13 episodes.

    Very slow but impactful first season. Ptsd is given nuance when a super hero battles with the trauma of an abusive relationship. David Tenant is fantastic and terrifying as the psychopathic Killgrave. It's noir atmosphere hinders some of the pacing but delivers more chills if you're willing to commit.

    Love all things Marvel but this show is just too hard to get into.
    I've only a few episodes left to watch but for some bizarre reason choose anything over watching it to its conclusion. Shame really, maybe the Daredevil built my expectations too much but feeling consistently left down here. Good acting, decent story but feels stretched too thinly...

    Even though it was pretty well directed, acted and executed, I had to force myself through the mid-to-last episodes. It seemed to me like it should have ended at 8 episodes rather than 13 and it took rather too long to get the story to it's peak. The villain was excellent and expertly acted. Jessica character was a bit too moody for me, like she had her period during all the show..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This show was a little dissapointing. Especially having recently seen Netflix' Daredevil, and expecting equal quality from their other Marvel offering.

    In my opinion there were too many parts of the story that just felt off to me. The 'deducted' way to deal with the villain is to use a medicine to drug him and make him pass out..... which could be done by her just simply hitting him with her superhuman strength. Or you know, just put in some ear plugs so you can't hear him (it took these characters 13 episodes to come up with that one in the end scene)

    She needs more victims to testify and prove the villain exists in a court of law; she finds herself in a house with multiple victims and a police man (!) yet after the fight is over she lets them all go with a pat on the back. And since she already had said police man on her side, why abduct another one to act as a witness to the villain's power later on?

    The entire time we are shown examples of her superhuman strength, yet when a group of men attack her to free the villain they just caught, she hits them but they don't stay down. Maybe she should have caught him the other times she just stalked him and did nothing but watch. Then again the villain is caught and escapes at least 3 times in the course of this season, so he probably would have just escaped AGAIN for originality's sake.

    Added to this I must agree with some other reviewers that the main actress is a little lacking. Some instances her bad acting just took me out of the story completely. The fight scenes look so bad. And all the side stories of her radio friend, the lawyer, the junkie and the policeman who turned out to be Nuke were just not interesting. You know there's not much story when there are as many sex scenes as there are episodes.

    Hopefully Jessica Jones can do an Agents of Shield and improve dramatically in the 2nd season, but as of yet I am very worried for the quality of the Luke Cage series if this is any indication.    … Expand

    Except Carrie-Anne Moss and Rachael Taylor, the acting performances are mediocre. Not bad enough to push you away, but permanent one faced acting. (Jessica Jones has a "they stole my candy" face which changes as much as her clothes during 13 episodes of the show).

    The only real engine which allows the show to take off is how its describes the reaction of victims to the bad guy's power. One thing the writers manage to succeed in is to pose the Villain as a real threat and portrait reasonably how mind controlling would affect victims.    … Expand

    I loved everything about the show except for the incessant use of the contrived 'goddammit' expletive replacement and Krysten Ritter. Everyone except her was believable. She did not convince as the hard drinking, PTSD suffering lead. Krysten did not deliver the realistic, gritty, charismatic performance this series required. Kilgrave was a great villain.

But with Jessica Jones, none of the dialogues induce any kind of emotions for me. And acting of Krysten Ritter is average at best. I think a stronger lead would have done loads for the improvement of Jessica Jones. Even the acting of supporting characters is nothing to write home about but then, they are getting any favors from the writers.

    The story only starts getting interesting when Kilgrave starts getting more screen-time. Sadly the inconsistency of his ability to control minds and Jessica's unexplained immunity (which only seems to exist for the purpose of being convenient to the plot) makes him less interesting of a villain.

    The second character in Marvel's Defenders series is Jessica Jones. A no non-sense private detective with super strength, who helps who she wants, does what she wants, and seems to bring trouble wherever she goes.

    Krysten Ritter stars as Jessica Jones, and from an entertainment stand point she does a terrific job with the character, the problem is how likeable is Jessica Jones? This was my issue with this series all along. There is no doubt that in the last decade, Marvel has made leaps and bounds in both it's writing and character development. I even believe that the Defenders will challenge the Avengers in both content and popularity, still I just don't like Jessica Jones.

    It's hard to give specific reasons without spoilers, but when I think Jessica Jones the one word that comes to mind is **** She's supposed to be the good guy, the one you root for, but she always has this attitude and everything is an issue with her. She's a mess, the people she spends her time with are a mess, and she seems like easy picking for the villain who chose to pray on her mind.

    The whole point of a superhero is to help people and to have people behind you and your brand of vigilante justice, but she seems to hurt more people than she helps, just look at what she did to Luke Cage (Mike Colter). Maybe others will feel differently, but I don't like the main character and therefore don't approve of the show. I love Luke Cage and I really like the idea of having a self-narrating private investigator, but there is this whole negative energy that surrounds her and everything she does, that I just can't get passed.

    I do love Daredevil and Luke Cage, I'll probably check out Iron Fist and I definitely will be watching the Defenders, so I guess I kind of have to watch season 2 of Jessica Jones, but fans of the show have a long wait ahead of them, as Netflix has confirmed that it won't be released until sometime in 2018, after season 1 of The Defenders.    … Expand

    Miscast and unconvincing character.

    I feel like a bad person for writing this review about Jessica Jones because my daughter liked the show and recommended it. This made me watch the first episode, but I don't quite share her experience. Granted for a marvel setting it is tolerable show because Jessica's superpowers are downplayed: she is more human than superhuman, so to speak.    Miscast and unconvincing character.

    I feel like a bad person for writing this review about Jessica Jones because my daughter liked the show and recommended it. This made me watch the first episode, but I don't quite share her experience. Granted for a marvel setting it is tolerable show because Jessica's superpowers are downplayed: she is more human than superhuman, so to speak. However, I just fail to share the fascination for superheroes given that normal people, with all their frailties, are far more heroic in my eyes. The only superhero themed movie that I recall to like is Birdman precisely because it isn't exactly about superheroism.

    My problem with Jessica Jones isn't that she is a superhero, but that she is supposed to be a private eye. A film noir kind of PI to be more precise. This puts her in the same group of people as, say, V. I. Warshawski or Kinsey Millhone, the latter not exactly a noir PI.

    Jessica gets introduced with an overvoice suggesting an experienced PI who has seen it all, while she runs around half the time with tear stained doe-eyes looking more like a victim on the run than an investigator on the prowl. So I can't quite make the leap that sees Ritter turn into the hardboiled PI Jessica is supposed to be. Ritter is a very pretty young woman who makes a totally unbelievable tough chick with a vulnerable side. The one is not the other.
    The problem gets compounded by attributing her all the staple noir trappings. She drinks heavily, but doesn't suffer much for it; has no friends to speak off, so she claims; can't get into any stable relationships, she has non at the start and we are served a hugely embarrassing sex scene with Luke Cage halfway into the first episode, where Jessica is totally pissed during their bout; and is a loner because of her super hero affliction and her bad experience with the main villain. And of course she can't get along with the police and badmouths her occasional employer Hogarth and non friend Walker, because that is what she has to do.
    This might be needed for a comic aimed mostly at imagery and with little room for complexity, but something better can be expected for a television series that allows for more depth. If Jessica is a hard boiled detective with a soft side, make her look and behave the part. If you drink a lot, you get to suffer for it: you can get off, you get a hang over and look and feel like **** the next day. You don't look like Ritter does: attractive and energetic. It needs to be made believable.
    My advise would be to take a look at Kinsey Millhone who makes a far more convincing PI than Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones does. It might not be noir, but at least she is a more original character with a more believable personality and background..

    I give it a five also because it irks me that a lesbian relation is shown in the context of adultery. You can't resist equating a LGTB relation with immorality, can't you?    … Expand

    The actress delivers a good job. It keeps the series still up. The remaining cast is poorly managed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jessica Jones is not the worst Marvel TV show, but I didn't really like it. I got through it. It got better with the last 5 episodes but that's because I love Marvel and will watch just about anything they attempt. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is the exception. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get through the whole season with out falling asleep. I had such a poor experience with season 1 I didn't bother with season 2. If the first Avenger's movie is my gold standard and Agents of Shield is the bottom of the barrel, Jessica Jones is closer to Agents of Shield.

    Jessica Jones' biggest flaw for me was believability. I couldn't get lost in the story because there was so many things I didn't believe. It distracted me and I couldn't suspend beiief. The first Iron Man movie had a ton of holes in the story and the logic but it was still a ton of fun and I happily went along for the ride. Jessica Jones... not so much.

    I had a hard time believing Krysten Ritter. Her portrayal of the character seemed very one note. I didn't see a lot of depth or change. She seemed like a cynical, bitter, angry, unlikeable jerk at the beginning of the series and she ends the series deleting voicemails from strangers who are asking for her help. Still a jerk. No change. And she's constantly scowling. Wolverine can be a cynical, bitter, angry, unlikeable jerk but he's not that way all the time. Even in flashbacks, when Jessica is a teenager she is unlikeable. If Kilgrave did horrible things to her and it changed her, I couldn't see the change. I felt like most of Ritter's performance was focussed on furrowing her brow. Her face can be very expressive, she's demonstrated she not a one note actor in "Breaking Bad" and "Don't Trust the B" so I'm not sure why she went that route here. I never felt empathy for Jessica, I never felt like I understood her motivations and I never felt like she was portraying anything more than a caricature or a noir stereotype. But bottom line, the character was so unlikeable I couldn't believe why any of the other characters would like her, which took me out of the show.

    I never felt much empathy for any of Kilgrave's victims or felt what Kilgrave was doing was that evil. But I should have. He was making people do horrible things against their will. He was violating them on a very deep level but I couldn't feel their suffering. Maybe this is a symptom of the actor's ability to portray victims. But I have watched a lot of Law & Order and I always feel for the victims on that show. It can't be that hard to find decent actors who can play a believable victims. New York City is littered with them as evident of the 1.2 million Law & Order episodes currently airing on TV (not an accurate figure, let's just say there are a lot). Jessica's neighbor Malcolm, who is a survivor of Kilgrave's manipulation, is so whiny and needy I was kind of hoping he'd get offed.

    Most importantly were the demonstration of powers. What are Jessica's powers? She super strong but she's not invulnerable? Usually those two go hand in hand, and she's doesn't even come off as that strong. Sydney Bristow in one episode of "Alias" comes off as more of a badass superhero than Jessica Jones ever comes close to in the whole series. The fight scenes were weak and there weren't enough of them. And yes, I am a continuity nerd, but if she can suffer some scrapes to the face in a fight, then she should be in a world of hurt after jumping off a 5 story building and landing on her feet if she doesn't have super human durability. Super strength doesn't stop gravity from pushing your bones through the flesh of your feet, super durability does. And she drinks like a fish but never gets drunk? And it obviously doesn't get rid of her pain. So why drink? Other than to make her seem like a hard drinking badass - hollywood style! This made me think the show was shallow and cheap, doing thing for surface reasons and not for story reasons.

    I want to like this show so bad but there was so much that took me out of it. But it has potential, lots of potential. I think it needs better writers and better directors, I don't think it was the actors or the source material. I will watch the second season and hope for the best. It's not as bad as Agents of Shield but it's not as good as Daredevil.    … Expand

    2. It's an 8 episode storyline stretched to 13. Mostly with countless unearned subplots about characters that are completely pointless in the grand scheme of things.
    3. Mike Colter as Luke Cage is another perfect casting in the MCU, but his presence feels like an afterthought to please the comic book fans.
    4. Jessica's powers weren't well translated, since they're always portrayed with dodgy editing to disguise the lack of budget.
    5. The conflict was solved very easily, and therefore, didn't feel cathartic.
    But to be fair, there are some elements that deserve praise. Krysten Ritter is great (she's a more understated version of Eva Green), David Tennant chewing massive chunks of scenery is a lot of fun, and the show treats sexual abuse in a way that doesn't feel exploitative (I'm looking at you Game of Thrones).

Jessica was supposed to be some sort of stoic heroin with a tragic past but instead she was just a mopey mess. I got tired of watching her and all her cohorts, as everyone in the show seemed to be in a perpetual state of PMS, including the men. Her self loathing and the tie ins with Luke Cage were really very cheesy and forced. They also didnt do any justice to the purple man or anyone else... all the characters were mentally challenged in this show and if it were not for their sheer stupidity, the season would have ended in about 3 episodes. Instead, they forced really big plot holes into the script to push it to 13 episodes. David Tennant really didnt do himself any favors playing Killgrave. I am not sure if its his fault or if its just the script but he was 1 dimensional the entire show and boring to watch. Luke Cage was also exhausting.

    The show needs better writers. I think it has potential to be very good if they think about the stories a little harder and eliminate the repetitive aspects but as it stands now, it is at best, a below average show.    … Expand

    Jessica Jones (JJ) is a TV show with a 'superhero' bent, that tries its absolute hardest to avoid anything 'super'.
    JJ is an 'ex-superhero' who now works a private investigator.

Her actual powers are never really delved into (she possesses a high degree of strength, but not Captain America or Spider-Man level, and she can jump pretty high, but that seems to be just about it), so the show focusses more on her as a character.
    The upside is that we see a flawed, mysogynistic, aggressive, alcohol dependant, borderline sociopath. The downside is that it gets tired very quickly, as the whole 'anti-hero' vibe has been done to death.

    As the series progresses we get a look into JJ's past, and her experiences with the main villain (adding a level of welcome subtext), but ultimately it doesn't pay off, and it concludes in a very anticlimactic way.

    I guess my main problem is that the show doesn't know what it wants to be. There are some great ideas, and the actual cinematography, direction and the 'look' is gritty and full of grime and dirt. But despite it having some very adult themes, some scenes of sex, some of violence, it doesn't really run with the 'made for grown-ups' ball.
    No swearing, no nudity, no inherent racism or xenophobia. It paints a dark picture, creates dark characters, but then has them actually exist in a world where profanity and drug use in an inner-city environment don't exist.
    I think the show would have worked much better if they'd gone straight for the full 'M' rating and pushed the boat out on tailoring it for adults.    … Expand

    I was hearing a lot about Jessica Jones and thought it would be worth watching. Thirteen hours of depressing low energy acting in which there were NO likable characters and Kilgrave came off as the worlds biggest stalker instead of a terrifying villain. The fight scenes were horribly done and even the intro has to be the most boring intro of any show.

    It seems as though the success of what a good show Daredevil was used to make this show and Jessica Jones really seems to be grasping at straws.

    I would have rather had seen thirteen episodes with individual stories with Kilgrave as the main background villain but instead the whole story revolved around a character who can be taken out with a bullet to the skull and we find out that what is implied about his powers in the show are inconsistent.

    All in all I think every aspect of this show is predictable and there is so little amount of humor in this show that it makes it hard to enjoy when everything that happens is negative. I would not recommend this show to anyone.

I thought also the villain in the show Kilgore was really good, perhaps the best marvel villain since Loki. However, that is were the compliments end, The writing for this show at times was terrible, odd plots that make no sense, for example Jessica's plan to get into a Super max prison, the reasoning and means to achieve this were just stupid. There were just a slew of mind numbing, head scathing plans that just didn't make sense, and i blame the writers for this. Also Jessica's overly prickly nature made it hard at times to like her, i understand its part of her persona, but its always a good idea to make the protagonist likable, and there were times i couldn't stand her, again i blame the writers. Also there was a lot of dead time in these episodes, non important scenes were introduced that were not needed. They could have easily shaved 3 episodes from this series, and it would have helped to make it more focused. I think they missed a real opportunity tell a story about a great super movie heroine that beat the odds and saved the day against a vicious killer, instead we get a long laborious hancock rip off with a most unsatisfying ending.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Show starts strong, but after characters get introduced never gets into story mode. Reminded me of Charmed or something generic like that. Almost as draggy as that one in any case. Acting wise it's OK, but it tries to hide the fact that it's a rather tame series by making it far grittier than it in reality is or allows itself to be.

    Spoilers ahead:

    My main criticism is about the quality of writing. I don't really see any. For example the entire series revolves around the premise that Jones is cynical and dark and doesn't care for people. But in fact all of her actions scream the opposite. Rather than working this out, we get served a main character that is unconvincingly harsh. So the usual brooding, misunderstood antihero tropes are tumbling out of the screenwriter's handbook. Case in point is the idea that the antagonist is to be captured alive because of the fate of some random victim of his. A thoroughly unconvincing motive, especially when all the others die by the numbers. And don't get me started on the quasi scifi technobabble they come up with as an explanation for their powers. Marvel never really convinced in that aspect; they seem to have let go completely of any standards in this regard.

    A quick google of "Jessica Jones" currently returns "Review: 'Jessica Jones' Is The Best Show On TV" as the third link, and frankly I'm starting to think a lot of reviewers were watching a different show...

    I'm a fan of pretty much everything Marvel has done in recent years and liked the previous Daredevil season 1, but Jessica Jones hit the ground stumbling and didn't get much better.

    I feel like this entire season could have been condensed down to about 4 episodes, so dragging it out to 13 explains the severe pacing issues. If I weren't a fan of David Tennant, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Krysten Ritter I would have given up after episode 1 or 2. Sadly my persistence was rewarded with only brief moments of intelligence that never develop the depth they could have.

    I do complement the series' noir tone, and attempts to cover 'darker' topics, but there aren't enough shadows to hide how shallow most of the characters are.

    If you like Marvel stuff with a noir slant, and have _literally_ nothing else to do, watch this show. Otherwise, just give it a miss.    … Expand

    Anybody else want to guess what this show was about? I have given up. The genre is absolutely wrong for the show's theme, it is so ground in drama it cannot be classed as anything else, despite of any outlining comic book story. There is no horror despite of whatever attempted surealism, no Noir just because she has a case of the fairies, it doesn't make this exploitation, if there interracial sex and other confused bisexuality. No thriller if I am bored to death. And she barely fits into her make-up style either when shown like this. If what she has got is a big chip on her shoulder turning into a superstrength Hyde protecting other ho's from abuse, and in her spare time living in crackhouse offering up her PI. Where is her pain, what is her pain? It wasn't even properly explored and fully haunted, instead we are bombarded with what the show thinks of other reality, within that underbelly, but it was never even fully aware that this was a comic book.

The build up to this episode is stretched too long, and the final episodes are awfully inconsistent. The writers even fail to maintain the realism of the everyday world, and the characters begin to fall apart and act hypocritically.

    Poor dialoguess, poor script. The characters are dumb. I wanted to stop seeing in the middle of the serie.

    Comparing to other series and movies from the marvel universe, Jessica Jones is far behind

    Definetly a waste of time.

    With a brand like Marvel, I expected a lot more. Honestly, I couldn't get through the first episode.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm reading the reviews and I am confused, are we speaking about Jessica Jones? I keep seeing these good reviews and I honestly don't understand. This show is god awful! It has such a basic plot that could have been wrapped up in three episodes. Instead it drags on and on and on and feels like an eternity to be quite honest. After watching daredevil season one I was looking forward to watching Jessica Jones, however now I please ask Markel and Netflix, please respect the time of your fans and do not make a season two of this foolish nonsense! Bottom line, STAY AWAY!… Expand

    The most boring, stupid, poorly written and inconsistent TV show I've ever seen (and I've seen many).
    Do yourself a favor, avoid this crap.
    I managed to go through all 13 episodes, and I have only one explanation for all the positive comments: users have been "Kilgraved" to write positive review. Seriously, there is NOTHING good about this show. DareDevil and Iron Fist are amazing, but    The most boring, stupid, poorly written and inconsistent TV show I've ever seen (and I've seen many).

    Shame because the show could have been good if it was not created by and for menstruated hippies.
    Hope whoever created this stays away from anything involving the Defenders, and TV in general.    … Expand

Ici par exemple, la pauvreté de l'écriture sue par tous les pores de cette Jessica fadasse dont le charisme se limite au peu que l'on peut reluquer de sa petite culotte (elle est noire) : c'est forcément très limité.

    Les dialogues insipides au possible semblent avoir été écrits par la standardiste fana des bouquins Harlequin. D'ailleurs même cette "super-héroïne" n'a rien de super du tout tant tout ce qu'elle peut faire n'a aucun impact réel, car on y croit pas une seule nanoseconde : ça sonne creux comme cette gourde en fer blanc... vide. De là à la qualifier de gourdasse, il n'y a qu'un pas. Une série toc qui n'inspire que l'ennui, un super-ennui.    … Expand

    It took five episodes for me to get interested--three too many, in these days of television glut. And only after the seventh and eighth did the cruel and clever plot twists (which include graphic torture) become truly gripping. In the early episodes, the pacing was logy and the action muddy, with several subplots that itched to be trimmed or recast.

    Given the otherworldly circumstances, it all moves along quite logically and at a brisk pace that leaves dawdling for dead. There’s no flabby midsection here, just one major development after another. The fight scenes are well-choreographed and frequent. And the twists are imaginative while also being grounded in the grim realities of this ramped-up universe.

    While, at first, the actress may not look like the superhero type, she convincingly gives Jessica a subtle toughness. In a way, the character is the flip side of Supergirl: Jones is a reluctant superhero, a loner who drinks too much and has real human flaws. Yet Ritter gives Jessica a needed likability. The series also boasts a solid supporting cast.
