Jessica Jones isn't as good as Daredevil

Obviously respect for the issues it tried to address, and Krysten Ritter was really good. But I never really found Kilgrave very compelling as a character (and *gasp* David Tennant was a teensy bit irritating), the kills started to feel a bit Saw/Final Destination - 'how should someone gorily harm themselves in this episode?' - and the plot felt a bit padded and aimless at times, with characters acting with implausible, 'writer-led' motivations at others in order to get the chess pieces where they needed to be. Ultimately, I don't think there was 13 episodes-worth of story there.

Discuss.

It was all a bit female for me.

Over obsessed with sex from the opening VO and all through the dialogue. Too much Sex in the City and not enough Marvel.

I was bored by the midway point of the third episode. There was a sex scene, then a relationship conversation with cheesy innuendos about sex, then another sex scene...and I'd tuned out.

I'll probably revisit it at some point, but there's nothing about the character or the story line that interested me.

I also found it too strange a mix between the noiry reality, and the fact they're super strong super heroes. I couldn't really buy into it.

Another of those that get so hugely rated, but you're the one that's left out of the party because you just don't get it.

I watched Daredevil, I liked it for what it was, other than that I've never really cared for the Marvel universe. I gave Jessica Jones a shot because I like Krysten Ritter and the whole thing seemed kinda like a more risque Veronica Mars. I really liked this show, it was a fun concept and I don't think they utilized it to the maximum and it did drag at times but I enjoyed it.

It's flawed but it was different enough to keep me hooked, there was a sense of paranoia and dread that they created well with the first few episodes but it really fell through once Kilgrave became more of a prominent character. I think there were a lot of missed opportunities to make this great but I think it's a fun show and that's all I really took it for. The ending was pretty underwhelming but I got through every episode at least entertained so on that critieria it worked for me.

Finally dragged myself through the series.

It was pretty awful, overall.

Too much focus on minor characters, whose arcs never led anywhere, incredibly repetitive action, but the biggest problem was that the central story was woefully undeveloped.

Killgrave is someone who can make anyone do what he says, yet his needs and desires are all childish and teenage. He comes across as a manboy with mummy and daddy issues, rather than as the terrifying super villain he could have been. This is a character that could run the world in a week, but all of his actions are inane and centred around a teenage idea of sex.

It's a superhero universe created with a teenage girl's fixations, dragging things into weird relationship issues that didn't fit the nature of the characters abilities.

It's got it's fans, but this was a major missfire, for me.
