This series is so stupid that the stupidity has taken form with it.
... View MoreWhat I really love: she is strong, sarcastic, dark, nasty, rude. But she has a very strong personality down to the core. Yet she is weak, gentle, light, nice and polite. Well, when she wants. :) She suffers normal pain like everyone else, when she get beaten etc. And yes, she needs love. Of course.Room to improve: she can start be a defender to her new family. And stop drinking that Jack Daniels floorwash. :-)
... View MoreThis show seemed so promising. The mysterious past, the sardonic sense of humour, the whirl of supporting characters with hints of their own demons. Now that I've watched all of the first season, I'm convinced that there's no meat on the bone. The only thing that made this worthwhile was the character of Kilgrave (and the actor with it). Apart from that, it's a wannabe super-hero movie/series with glimpses of Sin City, a zombie show and Suits, but doesn't manage any of these well. I am disappointed. I really liked the sound of each character, as well as the plot, but it just doesn't come together, no matter how long I waited. Wasted talent.
... View MoreSeason 1This review contains spoilers for the first season.Jessica Jones is a Netflix exclusive television series that is set in the Marvel universe. The series follows Jessica Jones a private investigator with super powers. The series also follows other characters Jessica is acquainted with. The series arc is overcoming Kilgrave, another human with superpowers.Jessica Jones has some great components. David Tennant as Kilgrave is great. The actor does a great job portraying the villain that can control minds through speech. The series does a good job in setting up the character before the audience sees him through Jessica's flashbacks. It was clear that the writers intended for Jessica to overcome the post-traumatic stress disorder that was brought on by Kilgrave's control. Likewise Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones does a good job in the role. She plays the private detective plagued by her past well. The story and writing is overall good but suffers from some problems. The story's focus is on Kilgrave, but the series sets him up at the start and spends a few episodes focusing on other characters. The story could have been improved by editing out the characters or by shortening the length of the season. The season was and should always have been about Kilgrave and Jessica. The side characters in this show are still interesting but reinforce the same main arc of the story. Nothing new is added by including these stories even when they reach their satisfying conclusion. It seemed as if these side arcs were meant to be filler with very few times they are reused in the main arc.The directing and editing are bland overall. There were not any scenes that stuck out as impressive. The main draw to this series is its high budget and actors.Overall Jessica Jones season 1 is a worthwhile watch even though the story can be uneven at times.
