    This show reminds me of the Will Smith movie “Hancock.”

    Truth be known I would rather have seen a TV version of “Hancock” than this show; which I did watch several episodes but finally gave up because the stories were boring and acting inferior to what I had expected.

    Netflix has done it again. I was a bit worried about the shift from comic to a live showing. Great cast, great care of its characters, great tone and a great story. From a person who reads the comics, they did a perfect job. Now everyone knows Jessica Jones name. Nice plot series Netflix

    Always loved Krysten Ritter in Breaking Bad. Follow her in any of her shows. Hope we have a season 2! Story line was Marvel-Like and easy to follow. Some continuity issues but not enough to judge show by. Loved it!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its seedy. Its cynical. Its obscene. And it tends to glorify tramp living with a bad attitude. It contains deviant relationships. And sex scenes that are neither necessary, nor fit for decent human consumption; i.e. - The sex scene between Jones and Cage. And, it so strains at being "goth" and rebel that it's just boring, really. Does this reflect New York values, now? Or that of Marvel comics for that matter?… Expand

    The storyline is complex and engaging. As you watch, you start to believe that Jessica Jones is just a talented detective, but then clues start dropping. Not much is normal about her or her past.

I will start with the story which is about a women named Jessica Jones obviously who is a PI and she solves cases while dealing with a sadistic villain. I love the story and the vibe of it which flows alongside the movie Sin City and has a very Noir aesthetic which coincides perfectly with the narrations done by Jessica throughout the series. I will now move onto the acting which was Superb. I mean Krysten Ritter as Jessica played a perfect alcoholic/investigator. I even enjoyed Luke Cage played by Mike Colter and the relationship that they form. The rest of the cast did Amazing. I will say though that the character who stole the show for me was Purple Man AKA Killgrave played by David Tennant. He is by far my favorite new villain in the Marvel Universe. I mean he is fiendish, barbarous and Delusional. I loved him and he played his character to perfection. I will now move onto the action which was thoroughly entertaining. I will say it didn't have the action packed scenes of Daredevil but it was a Hell of a lot more psychological which is what gets to you in the end and there are some very bloody scenes that actually surpass DD in many respects. I have never read the comics for Jessica Jones but this show is a show you don't want to miss. I will also say that the sound design and the cinematography were superfluous. I will finish by saying that this initial season was Fantastic and you should watch this show immediately. I promise you will not regret it. I was a tad disappointed in the finale but I have my reasons and I will not spoil that but all in all I applaud Marvel for there 2nd dive into a Marvel inspired television show that has paid off in a dramatic way.… Expand

    Marvel's first Film Noir series is a real winner. Not only is there a strong cast but the backstory and character development is quite strong. The inclusion of Patsy "Trish" Walker also was a stroke of genius, as minor characters from the comics now get to breathe and grow and become even more interesting.

    Superb show. Consistently strong roles for women, treated with respect by writers, wonderfully acted and produced. IMHO it's the best super-hero show since Spiderman 2 with Toby Maguire. The focus is only occasionally on super-hero powers, and more on the flawed heroes inside each character, more a film-noire than an action show. Awesome!

It has potential but they really need to reign in all the plot holes and emotional constipation. 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

Provided they are lucky enough to survive that is. With some better pacing and some shaping up of some awkward elements and Marvel could have had one of their best superhero offerings yet. As it stands what we have is a solid second look into the darker side of the MCU.

    What I mean when I say the show has some awkwardness to it, it's just that not everything comes together in a completely flawless way. Stretching the show out for 13, hour long episodes lead to some very slow pacing. You'll still get to see some cool and often dark moments on a semi-regular basis, but there are episodes that can just be dull. There are plenty of times they could have pushed this conflict forward to a more satisfying conclusion then what was offered.

    Yet, it's the complexity that kept me watching even when things got dull. Jessica Jones is a hero with a lot of layers. A lot them connected to the villain in some really deranged ways. The show doesn't skip out on mature topics like rape and psychological damage. They, along with the at times bloody violence, are what continue to separate the MCU movies from the shows.

    That being said it sometimes goofs up with the "mature" elements. Early on the show tries so hard to show a messed up and more adult side of the MCU by pushing gross sexual fetishes into the light like incest. That's pretty sick, but the way it's handled here makes it all the worse. The show presents them as attempts to be funny. It ends up having the opposite effect. It's a really immature way to present "mature" content.

    Yet, as it continues on and finds more of a footing with it's plot the show gets a better grip on what genuine maturity is. It's not just blood, cursing, and violence. It's the nature of the characters.

    Even the side-characters have their depth and little layers to peel back. It's just a shame they aren't more interesting. The supporting cast just really isn't that interesting here. Even Jones' sister/best friend who plays a huge role in the show suffers from a case of blandness. It has nothing to do with their actors. The entire cast is fantastic. Yet, the only characters onscreen worth caring about are Luke Cage (I can't wait for his show), Kilgrave (the show's villain), and Jones herself.

    There is one pretty big issue with Jones though, and that's Krysten Ritter. Now don't get me wrong I am in now way saying she's a bad actress. The woman is phenomenal. I just don't think she was the right choice for the character. She hardly seems like the hard-drinking chick that you don't want to mess with that the show portrays her character as. She sure does try her hardest though so I have to give her credit. She's definitely on board, but some of these lines just don't feel believable coming from Ritter at all.

    To be honest I think the reason she was picked is because of her chemistry with Mike Colter (Luke Cage). The moments she shares with him onscreen are the only moments I was 100% sold on Ritter playing Jones. These do are magic together onscreen and completely sell the romance part of the show. If only, they could sell the fight scenes.

    The action is a bit sloppy with the exception of a spectacular fight between Jones and another similarly powered character that I won't spoil here. It's almost like the director(s) couldn't quite figure out how to deliver super strength fueled fights on their budget. It leads to action scenes that are either weak or overly choreographed, giving them a fake look and feel.

    Truth be told Jessica Jones has a lot of issues. However the good it does do will keep you watching throughout it's 13 episodes. The pace may drag and it's not always the most flawlessly put together show, but it makes up for it with a fantastic villain that connects to our lead in direct, meaningful, and dark ways. Mix that with the complexity of the character and you have another enjoyable work by Marvel, even if it is among their most flawed.

    My total score for the first season is a 7.1/10    … Expand

    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

    Absolute favorite of the Marvel Netflix series. There isn't as much action as there is in the others, but there doesn't need to be. What carries the show isn't the punches and kicks, it's the psychological horror of not knowing who is against you and not being able to control yourself. The characters have depth and feel real.

    The strong push from Marvel into revitalising the practically dead genre of film-noir is taken up again in this show as we follow a private detective with retired super hero with superpowers who's actively avoiding using them. With acting that is superb across the board but with particular attention to David Tennant as the Purple Man, this show keeps everything tight and personal. With themes centred around a lacking person agency and rape, there was a risk that this show would be overly depressing, but it actually maintains a strong wit that while it doesn't always land right, keeps some levity in the show. The atmosphere feels like smoke though and at it's height this show is supremely tense and amazingly uncomfortable in all the right ways. A different approach that Daredevil and perhaps a little less consistent but in every way worthy of standing alongside it, and in some scenes it even surpasses it for shear atmosphere and tone. Thoroughly recommended.    … Expand

    Jessica Jones is a very different and interesting direction for Marvel to go with its Netflix tv universe. The series is essentially a character study into the life of the titular character.

    Jessica Jones is surrounded by a cast of great characters including her best friend Trish who has a lot of her own issues and is a very compelling and likeable character. Her neighbour Malcolm who undergoes a huge transformation over the course of the series and may be my favorite character in the whole show. Then finally you have the classic Marvel character Luke Cage, who becomes an ally of Jones’ despite some effect that she has on his personal life. Mike Colter gets a lot of time to shine as Cage and we will finally get a bigger taste of him when Luke Cage comes to Netflix.
    David Tennant makes a huge impact as Killgrave. The main villain who has a history with Jessica. Killgrave is an easy character to hate and Tennant takes control of the audience when he appears. The only issue that I have with Killgrave that his mind control powers made him hard to write and in order to get him and Jessica in a room together they had to make his character a bit more convenient to the plot. There are a few times where the series feels like it is throwing unnesessary characters into the plot in order to fill the 13 episode run time. I feel as though this season would’ve worked even better in 8 episodes instead of trying to drag the story out into 13. Its still a great show though and you don’t have to be a Marvel fan to like it.    … Expand

    El reparto a nivel actoral está sensacional como es costumbre en este tipo de productos de Netflix. No me extenderé más. Mención aparte para Krysten Ritter y David Tennant.

    En definitiva, poco que añadir es una magnífica serie Netflix. Es tan buena e interesante como Daredevil. Me ha gustado un montón y la recta final (últimos 5 capítulos) son sensacionales. Un 9 esta temporada más que merecido. Ojito a las series Marvel-Netflix. Y... Spin-off del personaje de Simpson, por favor.    … Expand

    Good show but it dragged on a bit the last few episodes. Easily could have cut the season down to 10 or 11 episodes and played out the story just fine.

    Great Show. It has a lot of sting going for it, great performances across the board, great writing, great directing surprisingly enough since this is the same person who gave us Twilight. it feels relatable and human inspire of the superhero setting.

    Jessica Jones (not unexpectedly) has a lot in common with Daredevil, Netflix first Marvel collaboration, with both going down darker routes than the cinematic movies have generally taken. Towards the latter half of the season I felt there were a couple of episodes that went round in circles a little bit, but overall it was very entertaining and Kilgrave (David Tennant) made for a great antagonist. At a push I'd even say I just about preferred it to Daredevil's first season, which itself was very good.    … Expand

    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..

Unfortunately, despite being well acted, the villain isn't very interesting either.

    In the end, it's little more than a Roadrunner cartoon with the protagonist filling in as the coyote. Failing to catch her prey mostly by getting in her own way. The show could have been saved if Jessica and everyone else who knows about the villain had been written as too stupid to realize that a handgun and head phones would have been more than enough to deal with her antagonist.    … Expand

    Jessica Jones is basically an 8-9 episode story stretched to 13 episodes. Just like Daredevil.

    It starts out damn good. The first two to three episodes are interesting, dark, have some excellent use of soundtrack and set up some cool characters, including Jessica Jones, Kilgrave and Malcolm Ducasse who are all fantastic.

The first two to three episodes are interesting, dark, have some excellent use of soundtrack and set up some cool characters, including Jessica Jones, Kilgrave and Malcolm Ducasse who are all fantastic. Those characters or their actors Krysten Ritter, David Tennant and Eka Darville basically carry the show, and their performances are brilliant. Then it's all downhill. We're greeted to Trish Walker and Will Simpson who both suck and their relationship thing which sucked too.

    The rest of the season ranges from fantastic to obvious filler, and while it didn't hurt the pacing as bad as it did in Daredevil season 2, it was still frustrating at points and hurt the tension that the show created especially in scenes with Jessica Jones and Kilgrave together.
    Somewhere deep there's an excellent show, there's even a Kendrick Lamar reference! But it's brought down by moments or even a full episode of just explaining stuff and some of those "how convenient" moments to simply make the story longer. If Marvel stopped with the 13 episode rule, Jessica Jones could've shined, because it's seriously good every time it actually moves forward, oh and when it doesn't show Will Simpson and Trish Walker.    … Expand

    Very slow but impactful first season. Ptsd is given nuance when a super hero battles with the trauma of an abusive relationship.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jessica Jones season 1 takes us on a journey with one of the most troubled characters that we’ve been introduced to yet in the Marvel universe. Season 1 has a very dark and gloomy feel to it but this feel works immensely to the show’s benefit. The dialogue and story give us an in depth look at how Jones’s experience in the past have created her pain and trauma in the present. We also get to see how she reacts to that pain and trauma and how they influence her relationships with other people. Overall the acting of the season is very good; every substantial actor plays their part to perfection and helps to create a very adult feel for the season. This is a Marvel show that is intended for mature audiences and not for kids since there are very troubling themes that are core to the season. This is also a great example of a season that has a bunch of actors who we haven’t seen too much of prior to the season and gives them screen time and moments to shine so they can showcase their talent as actors. David Tennant’s Kilgrave is a scary villain who really amplifies the dark, gloomy and traumatic feel to this season. His ability is one of the most intimidating we’ve seen and Tennant does a fantastic job making Kilgrave an anxiety building villain for both viewers and Jones. Kilgrave is to this season was Fisk was to season 1 of Daredevil, although Fisk is a slightly better villain since he doesn’t have any inherent abilities. One thing I also like about this season is that Jones has issues that a lot of people can relate to, but she isn’t a character who you want to be able to relate to. This season is the embodiment of a troubled and trauma-based life seen through the lens of someone with superpowers, and even those superpowers don’t really help Jones cope with her past and deal with her pain. This is a season that you have to prepare yourself for, but once you’re ready, you’ll watch one of the most mature and well-executed Netflix shows that Marvel has made to date.… 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.
