Jessica Jones

Well-made, somewhat engaging, but fatally overlong - 13 episodes is far too many when you're focusing on a single villain the entire time. Also, the po-faced atmosphere becomes tiresome after a while - someone, anyone, crack a joke! Kilgrave is da real MVP.

Huge pacing issues. The meandering narrative gets exhausting after a while. Perhaps because I find no one besides the villain interesting. It definitely feels plot heavy. In theory, this should be great. But the experience of actually watching it, with the consistently generic score, is a drag. But that's just one man's opinion.

The show has some good production written over it, but is hurt first by spreading the whole thing too thin with 13 episodes and second with all the dead weight of the feminism bullshit it is jam-packed with dragging behind. I mean, all this deconstructing of male tropes gets old real quick. Then it gets annoying and then you want to pick your eyes with a fork every time Jessica Jones pretends she's oh-so bad-ass when in fact everybody can see she's just a plain, regular nice ass.

To be honest, I think this show would have been considerably improved if they had cut it back to ten episodes instead of thirteen - I could feel them drawing things out and padding stories in the season's second half, and at least one subplot felt bizarrely out-of-nowhere to me. That said, it had a cool detective atmosphere to it, nicely understated action scenes and relatable stakes, and Kilgrave is hands-down the best MCU villain since Loki.

Such a unique character.. it is well written, well paced, well played but bad financed (the few effects look cheap) With Daredevil, it is one of Netflix's two achievments among it's Marvel properities..

Jessica Jones is disappointingly politically correct, and honestly too slow. The entire first season was spent attempting to overcome just one villain with no real subplots. And really the only hold ups to success being bitching and moaning about right and wrong and waiting for the justice system. Not what Jessica Jones is supposed to be.

Season 1 of Jessica Jones is great. I think I genuinely enjoyed it more than all but the very best 3-4 films in the MCU. Seasons 2 and 3 are significantly less interesting. If this had been a one-off with David Tennant and Krysten Ritter, I would be calling it the best property Marvel had managed to make but the diminishing returns on the series hits hard once Killgrave (and the mature themes his character introduces) leaves the show.

Jessica Jones is a boring, unlikable, and uncharismatic protagonist with a supporting cast that's equally as drab. The plot meanders on for many episodes to the point of tedium, with the whole "sex & alcohol" schtick coming off as incredibly juvenile and poorly written. Jessica Jones is a slow, boring show to watch with very little pay off. At least the schlocky films had a good number of action scenes, this show doesn't even boast that.

The good part (the villain) is amazing, but the rest is shit and is drawn out to the point of pure snooze fest. With content for around 2-3 hours the total runtime of 13 hours was a chore to fight through, and I feel like I deserve a prize for finishing. Of all superheroes I hate Jones the most; her mopey teenager routine is anger inducing, and I have never rooted so much for the villain before.

I really enjoyed this. I'm genuinely surprised that the other reviewers thought it dragged on at times, I thought they paced it very well. The (season 1) villain is horrifying and the supporting characters were all very likeable. I liked it better than "Daredevil." They both have great production quality, DD is more like an action movie, this was more like a detective movie and much darker in my opinion. Watch both.
