    Jessica Jones was a different,edgy take that payed off for Marvel, mostly.What was really strong about Jessica Jones was the character development from the main character,side characters and the villain(who was awesome),everyone on Jessica Jones got their time to shine and it was done properly.The acting was good,from the likes of Krysten Ritter to David Tennant as purple man.Even thoughJessica Jones was a different,edgy take that payed off for Marvel, mostly.What was really strong about Jessica Jones was the character development from the main character,side characters and the villain(who was awesome),everyone on Jessica Jones got their time to shine and it was done properly.The acting was good,from the likes of Krysten Ritter to David Tennant as purple man.Even though Jessica Jones was interesting(more interesting than Daredevil) the slow pace of the series was unbearable at times with a couple of moments dragging on, though the series never suffered from backstories of some characters. Now i know this series wasn't technically a superhero series but superhuman series, some aspects of the Hero story was dull, like jessica jones past hero origins was disappointing even though it got a bit better as the series got better, and another problem was that some mentions of the MCU was shallow and felt the series was trying to avoid the hero stuff which is pointless since the series is based on a comic book and for the season finale the ending was rather anti-climatic and too dark for nothing.One of the highlights of the series was Killgrave(the show's villain) who was creepy,interesting and intimidating making him one of the best villains in Marvel universe and good story-telling with stories of Jessica jones tragic past and the time the series took to explain the villain's consequences was brilliant and even if jessica jones had a dark tone some of the humour in the series was fun.The best episodes are Episode 3,6,8 and 12 and the worst are 13 and episode 4.Overally Jessica Jones was dark,interesting,tense had okay action and a worthy Marvel series.… Expand

    One of the most exciting show I ever seen. The script it's so well done. Krysten Ritter excel in this role, depth and broke, and Tennant is amazingly creepy. I love it and I want more.

    Overall a very good series with good acting and semi intriguing premiss. what kept it from being great was the wooden acting/character of the Luke Cage, and some of the potlines failing and/or dismissing what was built upon.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think this could have been better than this but there was something just lacking. For instance Jessica Jones acted as if she didn't have powers like it was a normal thing and when it came to fighting, say when she punched someone you couldn't say the person getting punched because the camera would move away and just see the person flying over. Also with that power Jessica Jones, they was a time when they caught Kilgrave and found out that he had a tracking device and Kilgrave's people came to the scene. Jessica Jones couldn't fight them off with that much strength. So I think maybe if some of the things had been done it would have been way better than the rating it has now.… Expand

House of Cards, Narcos, Daredevil, all have flashes of brilliance and they buck against the well-worn tv tropes. Jessica Jones is no different, will moments that shock you and take dramatic turns in visceral ways. But like all of the Netflix series so far, it has a fatal flaw. Cards had a protagonist more interested in being clever, Narcos has a jarring narrator voice-over, and Daredevil has an impossibly heroic and dreamy lead. Jessica Jones has a lead actor who is trying too hard in every scene, she feels like a stage actor trying out tv for the first time and the result is that her mannerisms are too forced and too over the top. The entire supporting cast plays their part with ease, but it's hard to take Jessica seriously when every line is delivered with the snark of a high-school girl.

    That's my beef. But beyond that, the show is good. Like always, Netflix does great work grounding the audience in a life-sized world. The Hollywood studios can keep their special effects and summer blockbusters, because Netflix understands that super-heroes aren't about how many henchmen they dispatch, super-heroes are super for the choices that they make. And the first episode of Jessica Jones thrives on that idea.    … Expand

    Jessica Jones não é tão impecável quanto Daredevil, mas traz uma trama com menos ação e mais investigativa. As atuações são excelentes, o vilão Killgrave (David Tennant) é excepcional, com certeza está na lista dos melhores vilões da Marvel que foram apresentados até agora. Apesar do roteiro derrapar um pouco em raras situações, isto não tira o mérito desta ótima série.

    Overall the show was alright, not an action based series more of a story based one which isnt a bad thing, but it just felt so anti-climatic. Jessica Jones herself to me was the weakest part of the whole show, poorly explained powers that she barely uses and when she does use them its so awkwardly done with camera tricks it looks terrible plus the fact she was just irritating in general.Overall the show was alright, not an action based series more of a story based one which isnt a bad thing, but it just felt so anti-climatic.

    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.

    A story that just rolls off the screen with an ease that exceeds the sibling Daredevil effort. Jessica Jones brings an array of textured supporting characters that provide a solid base for the heroin and her nemesis. A binge I shall look back on with undiluted pleasure.

    When I compare this show to Daredevil (which I liked), it is actually better-paced. Daredevil had several throw-away episodes, but JJ had MAYBE one superfluous epi out of 13. Great show and I can't wait for a second season to brew up as much imbroglio and noir as this one.

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

    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 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.

    From the major characters of Jessica Jones and Killgrave, to the minor, Malcolm and Jeri, the series presents complex characters with complex motivations. Each character in the series also undergoes complex character development that engages the audience and makes each character much more human. The complexity of Jessica and Killgrave, as well as the intensity of the scenes between the two (supported by the amazing acting of Krysten Ritter and David Tennant), immediately captured my attention. Jessica and Killgrave show a complexity that is hard to capture within 13 episodes, however, this series has done it perfectly.

    The portrayal of Jessica's PTSD and her feelings (mainly of hatred) towards Killgrave was another stunning aspect of the series. Her flashbacks in the first few episodes, as well as the portrayal of her PTSD was executed extremely well, both by Krysten Ritter, the director, and the writers.

    Jessica Jones perfects the mix between the genres of 40's detective film noir, a superhero story, a psychological thriller, and an high intensity drama. I hope for further seasons, and applaud the Jessica Jones team for producing an engaging series that captured me from the first few episodes.    … Expand

    This is the best Marvel product I've ever seen. I'm not too big on superhero movies and shows, I like them enough, but CGI fighting gets old to me. This story could easily stand alone, no support needed from the rest of the Marvel Universe.
