    What a waste of a second season. The writing really let the series and the actors down.
    Horribly written dialogue. Incredibly weak character arcs. Clunky, and often just plain silly, plot devices.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't understand what they were going for. Even Agents of SHIELD had a better use of the "missing parent coming back as the bad guy" trope... and it did it TWICE! Hey, I'm a fan, and I can sit through 13 episodes of this, but I found myself distracted by my phone and having to backtrack the episode. It simply wasn't engaging, finishing it up felt like a chore.

    It's seems the makers of the series forgot this is a superhero show, Jessica Jones has no idea of what it wants to be as a show. Sure, tackle all the issues you want, but never forget what people are here for. Character studies and ABC-like drama can be found in other shows, and no one looking for that kind of entertainment will look for it in a Marvel production. Your protagonist is a raging alcoholic with super strength and the ability to kind of fly, why waste that?
    Good job forgetting Jessica had limited flying powers AGAIN, by the way, at least in Smallville people had Clark's inexperience to blame for his lack of using all of his powers.

    Ritter is still a good actress, unfortunately her character is still unlikeable, even if it's entertaining to watch JJ mess up, she still ends up boring me with her inconsistency in her choices regarding the characters of the story. One moment she hates her mother, the next she goes against every moral fiber in her body to aid her, even after the mother crosses multiple lines. Adding that to the already hard to love characterization of Jones as crass, foul and hostile and it one feel that after her show's first season and all of Defenders, she should be in another place, emotionally speaking.

    I am absolutely convinced that if Iron Fist had these flaws people would've been THAT much more critical of it. However, since this is Jessica Jones, a show about a powered woman -and opening on Women's Day, no less- she probably gets a pass from critics, who I can see are showering the season with praise.

    The most thrilling part of the story for me was watching Trish Walker's evolution into her powered alter ego from the comics: Hellcat. Still, the series only manages to give us the briefest glimpse of a promise of her future role in the last few moments of the show. The most touching part of the season for me was definitely Carrie-Anne Moss' character, who by the way delivers the best performance of the entire cast, as her character goes in a roller coast of emotion, facing her own mortality, inevitability, goes through a deep breakdown involving satisfactory revenge and emerges on top, though still with an uncertain future.

    Overall, a if you had to define this Season with one word, it would be BORING. Jessica Jones Season 2 ranks as my least favorite season of all of Netflix's Marvel shows.    … Expand

    The short and simple truth is that the season 2 was not written with entertainment and a good story in mind, in fact the writers and directors admitted such in interviews and via twitter/Facebook/etc. Season 2 was written to push agendas and identity politics and story be damned.

    Take your favorite, or more likely for the educated and logical, your least favorite bits of leftist/feminist propaganda (the easily debunked stuff your five year old can prove are blatant lies) and then do your best to forcefully wedge a superhero story around it. That is exactly what happened in all of season 2.

    The message was clear from the first episode and then hammered home ad nauseam: All white males are bad. White women are better than everyone (even when they are mass murderers). White women should only have sex with non-White males. Every other female is a raging homosexual.

    Now that may sound harsh but it is easily verified by forcing yourself to watch this train wreck of leftist insanity in the guise of a superhero show all the way through. You could drunk easily off of making it a drinking game to take a shot every-time leftist/feminist propaganda pops on screen (Warning you will end up drinking more than Jessica).

    The actors gave solid performances but they are all forced to read stilted dialogue and spout lines that sound like the fanfic of your typical sexist, racist, bigoted feminist/leftist. You know the one that tells you that racism and sexism against White males doesn't "count" as racism or sexism right before they go set fire to a building or hit you in the face with a bike lock because they don't think anyone who disagrees with them should have rights.

    The second saddest thing is it could have been a great season but the (all female look it up) directors and (leftist/feminist) writers decided your time should be wasted on their propaganda and that you don't deserve to be entertained by good writing.

    The saddest thing is the overt and not so covert sexism, racism, and bigotry portrayed constantly through out the season.    … Expand

Which is no to say that season 2 is bad, on the contrary, it is quite good, even great in some parts. It's just that after such a monumental season 1 and a villain that is probably the MCU's finest, the plot and development in season 2 is not as strong. But on the bright side, the series maintains it's main strength: a fantastic main character, and a tough, emotional, and deep storyline. Now, on the bad side, there are a lot of decisions this season that feel so forced and out of nowhere, and really make me feel annoyed, specially some plot points and focus that feel pointless. So all in all, while flawed, Jessica Jones proves in it's second outing that it has a great main character and can be used very good in the right hands, and ends up with a solid season 2.… Expand

Also the characters inner conflicts are very well depicted and keeps the audience entertained. Great script writing and amazing delivery from the actors, just as before and just as expected. Couple of minor typical movie mistakes made it in the final cuts, which can only be observed by the very eagle eyed viewers, and they are so insignificant that they can be easily overlooked. The plot is somewhat not as entertaining as in the 1st season, because the threat is not as high as it was in the previous one. The thrill and the rush isn't there because of this fact. But we got a lot more character centered point of view about their morals and conflicts. Overall it's good TV series and it's worth to watch if you are a marvel fan, and/or live the dark/purple styled super strong and ugly honesty of Jessica Jones.… Expand

    Let me just start by saying that I created an account on MetaCritic to stand behind this second season.
    Jessica Jones season 2 is a damn good show.
    You, who are undecided to watch it - because you heard some sh*t or because you're afraid you won't enjoy it as much as season 1 - I've been in your shoes. And I watched it. And I loved it. It's rollercoaster of emotions, mostly going down.    Let me just start by saying that I created an account on MetaCritic to stand behind this second season.

    It's rollercoaster of emotions, mostly going down. It takes a bit for the plot to take consistance, but hell when it goes off, it goes off hard. My feelings were hurts in so many way and I loved it.
    It's a Noir série, it's Jessica being Jessica. It's Hogarth being the most BADASS character ever (with clair temple, but hey, you know I'm looking at you greedy producer).

    Back to the critic, of course the season is not perfect. But there's some fantastic line of dialogues, great realisation, etc. People say they want to see fights... well go watch luke cage. Jessica ain't bulletproof, she don't start fight like it's nothing. Hell.

    This review is extra messy because it's 4am and I just wanted to say **** like jessica would do.
    TL;DR: it's a good season, it takes time and that's why it's so good.

    Ps: greedy disney producer, when you build a MCU, at least make it consistent. Is New york that big ? And where is the SHIELD goddamn it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well as a person who enjoys almost everything Marvel I was let down by this poor attempt at season two. One thing it is painfully missing is an, all pun intended, good villain. This is where the first season shined. Kilgrave was a villain who's powers we haven't seen before, his backstory was explained, and he was just kick ass all around. There is just no one to take Kilgraves place this season. Instead the villain seems to be Jessica's inner demon's and family strife. Which sorry to say doesn't keep someone looking for super powered battles satisfied. Another thing i didn't like is what the writers did with characters like Hogarth, Malcolm, and Trish. They just made each one of them desperate for something and they chase after it the whole season. Hogarth with her life/health, Malcolm with Jessica's approval and Trish's love, and Trish being super desperate for powers. It just got old really fast for me. I could go into more detail but instead i'll just leave it at this. Season two seems more like a soap opera than a super hero show and it is a waste of precious hours. Netflix and Marvel need to come back with something good fast because from my perspective I haven't seen anything worth watching since 'Luke Cage' Iron Fist was a flop, The Defenders was a flop, The Punisher was a flop, and you can add this to the list. Pray for Dare Devil season three.… Expand

    What could have been an in-depth discussion on rage after trauma and coping mechanisms turns trite, dull and slow. Jessica becomes dumb, Trish becomes histerical as the new normal, their interactions with everyone else basically boil down to "sorry, I'm ignoring you because I'm busy" - every 5 minutes or so.

    Goes to show what Marvel does to good ideas once they become prominent.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How could they possibly mess this up this bad. I gave the first season 10 out of 10; but this second season gets 0 from me. They did not even try. I have to say the side-story about ALS was quite good, but that is the only thing. I liked that in the first season, JJ's superpowers are kind of just implied, there are very little of actual special effects. But it is made clear that she has those powers, and that she has some ability to fly and so on. In the second season, they completely forgot she could do that.

    The main antagonist is a completely boring character and the whole story arc with that could have ended after 3 to 4 episodes. It would have been cool to see JJ meeting her mom, fighting a bit, but then getting to terms with her and sending her to south america or something. And then they should have introduced a real villain, something unexpected. Killgrave from the first season was perfect, terrifying. Of course they could not just copy/paste such a character or bring him back to life. But they could have found someone equally scarry and I would say an intelligent villain would be much more so than one that is simply very strong.

    Probably the worst thing about the show was Trish Walker, she just like her mom in the show are completely crazy annoying people. And it makes absolutely zero sense that JJ's did not immediately kill Trish after she shot her mother for no reason whatsoever other than just wanting to kill someone.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seems like this season Jessica Jones suffers from what The Defenders did... A very slow and boring start.
    After a Season 1 full of great character development for the main Character at times it feels like she's exactly where she started and that is annoying, while characters like Trish Walker and Malcolm seem like fresh improvements.
    There is less edge and intrigue in the first part of the season, something that they had with Killgrave, even before introducing him as a character, Jessica's fear of him, the fact that a powered woman could be that scared of someone gave the show an edge that they couldn't replicate with this season.

    The villain was weak. Although the reveal that Jessica's mom was alive adding some much needed tension and story was really good, her characterization seemed shallow and her motives were too blend. She just wanted to live with her daughter, after you've killed countless people, was she always this selfish and maniacal? They didn't show us, or did she become that way simply because of the experiment?

    The story dragged what seemed like ages, until the reveal of who the villain was, the story was dragging and dragging to get to that point.

    Although i liked to see Trish Walkers slow descend to madness, i thought her character started being more annoying, i couldn't really sympathize with her cause, why she wanted to have powers?

    The acting as always was on point, the character development of Jessica again was there, i just hope they stick with it for season 3, Trish Walker's introduction to the metahuman world was great, the scene where she was getting her powers was hard to watch, and i loved it if that made sense, Malcom was the real MVP of the season, kept being himself all the way through, but realizing that, loyalty wasn't getting him anywhere he got fed up.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was expecting great things from Jessica Jones second season, and, welll.... I guess that short answer is that I got it. In fact, the first seven episodes are compelling, beautiful Netflix nirvana. I was on board 100%. I don't buy into the whole idea that Jessica Jones is a "superhero show". It just isn't, it never has been. If Jessica Jones was a superhero show, Jessica would be a hero. But it's not that simple. Things in life rarely are. And Jessica Jones tackles what are essentially everyday issues through the lens of something extraordinary - a criteria every classic science fiction novel is based on. It's about jealousy, addiction, resentment, loneliness, abuse, alienation. It's amazing to see the way that characters interact and some of the choices in this season are far more gutsy than anything we've previously seen (or ever will) from the big screen MCU. '

    But for all that, the last six episodes are... Messy. But again - so is life. I've seen a lot of people complaining about the "mother-comes-back-as-villain" plotline, but I don't think that's a fair criticism of the show. JJ S2 isn't a tv show about a hero vs. a villain. Like I said, it isn't a superhero show. The idea of heroes and villains and black and white justice is, at the end of the day, rather silly, and the creators behind this know it. Every character here has their flaws, but they also have their moments of goodness. You can see sparks of good in all of these people, but just like everybody in real life, they struggle.

    I think this season is far from perfect, but I also think it's the ballsiest thing I've seen from Marvel and I think it invites a lot of thought and discussion of what happens. I sympathize with and understand the people who are disappointed and felt bored with the season, but I think a lot of this stems from expectations. I think there's a lot to appreciate here if you approach it from the view of something more akin to Breaking Bad or Ozark, etc.

    P.S. In the scene in Oscar's apartment right after whats-her-name takes the kid, there's this really weird light flash across Oscar's face and I wanna know how that made it past the editors smh.

    P.S.S. AKA I Want Your Cray Cray is up there with my favorite tv episodes.    … Expand

    Almost made it but not really. It's boring to watch a hero who doesn't want to be one. She goes from place to place drunk or hangover or bored or uninterested.

    The journey into Jessica’s past feels like familiar territory, making the show seem less urgent and less captivating than it previously did. The back end of these 13 episodes is much more exciting and also a lot weirder (in a great way) than the first half.

    The brilliantly executed comeback of an already smart series is the perfect parable for our times.

    Once the opening hour catches us up on Jessica’s past and sets the stage for the new season, there are some good things here. We see more of the friendship between Jessica and Trish, and that’s good because female pals are still a TV rarity. ... The best moments of the new season are any scene that features the wonderful Janet McTeer as a mysterious new character.
