Marvel's Jessica Jones
 

I just finished watching Jessica Jones with my sister. Came out last week as a Netflix exclusive.

For the uninitiated, basic premise is that Jessica is a private investigator with super powers, but she stays under the radar and doesn't do the whole "hero" thing - uses her strength to break locks and other mundane stuff for her job.

As a Netflix exclusive, they can get away with a lot of stuff that wouldn't fly on cable TV or even in the big Marvel movies. Jessica Jones gets real as heck about trauma, victimization, and (loss of) control. Gritty stuff. Makes it all the more powerful.

Anyone else seen this amazing show yet?
If not, go! Watch! What are you doing with your life?!
Those who have seen it, tell me what you think! Which character do you relate to best? What snarky comment was your favorite? Which dramatic moment hit home the most?

Remember lovelies, spoilers in tags and be sensitive about feelings. I'm talking Lifestyles & Issues level sensitivity up in here.

I haven't watched that yet, although my parents recommended it to me yesterday, and they have good taste in shows.

I'm gonna be giving it a go soon. It sounds interesting. :D

Daredevil was another good Netflix show, I imagine it's probably the same universe, but I don't know yet.

There are a lot of R-rated scenes! Like every episode! Sometimes it seems a little unnecessary. Otherwise I like it.

I read a funny on fb about how after watching David Tennant be a bad guy, while using his Doctor accent, that his companions on doctor who are not there by choice and are instead hostages, and that makes me laugh.

Toho, definitely give it a go! It is probably the same universe, as Marvel ties all their stuff together. One person in the show made a vague reference to what my sister believes is Daredevil.

Yeah, there are a lot of R-rated scenes. :O The amount of sex made me a little uncomfortable, but it was worth powering through. The gore sometimes got a little nasty too. I was half-covering my eyes with my blankie a lot of the time!

That's a funny crossover theory, ahaha. Kilgrave definitely felt very doctor-y at some points. There's no way the doctor could be Kilgrave when Donna Noble is around, though. Donna was totally the boss of the Doctor.

I started watching it today. :D

Daredevil made references to the Avengers movies, and Jessica Jones was much more direct about it. The shows are clearly in the same universe as the Marvel movies.

It's pretty cool. Very well done.

I couldn't make it past episode 1 of daredevil xD but in the comics Jessica so that's the tie in ouo

I read online too that once jessica jones is over they are going to make a Luke Cage show as well.

Next to Agent Carter she is one of the best heroines I've ever had the pleasure to watch.

VERY. And I mean VERY good show. I'm not finished yet (episode 7 or 8 right now.) But I'm very impressed with the story and acting. Daredevil bored me to tears, but Jessica Jones has perfect pacing and has interested me from the start.

I had very low expectations but I'm genuinely surprised by the quality.

The only thing that I dislike though is that I can't see too many storylines down the road. I hope she teams up with Daredevil, Electra, and Iron Fist then move on to forming the Defenders, Thunderbolts, or something like that.

Here's hoping that Captain America Civil War will be setting the story up for this to happen.

Ah! I never watched Daredevil so you might be right, Dolly. Thanks for that insight; I never would've known. I love how all the Marvel shows tie together so well.

Illu, trust, there will be another season. Can't solve a mystery without digging up more mysteries along the way! (And certainly can't leave all this free money from the adoring fans just laying around on the table, you know?)
