a5c7b9f00b Following the tragic end of her brief superhero career, Jessica Jones tries to rebuild her lifea private investigator, dealing with cases involving people with remarkable abilities in New York City. Ever since her short-lived stinta superhero ended in tragedy, Jessica Jones has been rebuilding her personal life and careera hot-tempered, sardonic private detective in Hell&#39;s Kitchen, New York City. Plagued by self-loathing and a wicked case of PTSD, Jessica battles demons from within and without, using her extraordinary abilitiesan unlikely champion for those in need… especially if they&#39;re willing to cut her a check. I&#39;ll keep this short and simple for those of us who can&#39;t be bothered with an essay.<br/><br/>First of all, I know quality and entertainment when I see it. I&#39;ve seen pretty much everything and I&#39;m no fanboy. I&#39;m a realist.<br/><br/>Like any TV series we need to give it time and after watching the first few episodes I thought Jessica Jones started quite well. All the characters/actors were greatexpected. It showed quality and scenes with good entertainment and has you thinking and wanting more. <br/><br/>However, after the first few episodes the series does become somewhat dry, you want more action, more of a story or at least a story taking you somewhere thrilling but it fails in doing so. It seems to somehow drag a little and doesn&#39;t grasp you like Daredevil does. For instance Daredevil for me was a 8.5/10 and one of the most enjoyable series I have ever watched. Jessica Jones doesn&#39;t bring that quality of entertainment and therefore, I cannot understand the fanboy ratings (9/10) and (10/10). I wouldn&#39;t give any series 10/10, it just wouldn&#39;t happen. Nothing is that good. Critics these days.<br/><br/>In addition, in a particular episode Jessica Jones, a woman with abilities (one being incredibly strong) is over powered by a group of ordinary men (yeah weird, just wait till you see the scene, poor). For me, this somewhat ruined my outlook on Jessica Jones, a lot. I love the fact she was beaten. I don&#39;t want to see the main character always winning. However, the scene was so dry, so limited and boring it totally didn&#39;t feel right or fit in, it ruined the vibe you&#39;d expect with somethingbig from a Marvel TV series, especially after the likes of Daredevil. I mean with Daredevil even after he was beaten you couldn&#39;t help but be thrilled with emotion and excitement. Jessica Jones fails to hit you like Daredevil does, it&#39;s a shame because Jessica Jones does have potential. Their simply isn&#39;t enough action and when their is 50% of the time their short and poorly scened. In addition, their are some short but sweet action scenes. It&#39;s just a pity their are so few.<br/><br/>Anyway, Jessica Jones is without doubt a good TV series (7/10 for me) and I definitely recommend it but it is notgood or better than Daredevil, so I suggest going into this series with an open mind and average expectations. <br/><br/>Hope this helped a little. Thanks for reading. Enjoy. I was very excited for this series. I loved the story this was based off of, &quot;Alias&quot; and I couldn&#39;t wait to see Luke Cage in action. I finished the series the day after it came out, and I was left feeling off. My initial reaction to the ending was &quot;Wait, so that&#39;s it? What the hell?&quot; It went out with a whimper. The finale started out strong, and then it just burned out. While the finale left a bad taste in my mouth, that doesn&#39;t take away from the episodes that are good, even masterpieces. <br/><br/>Jessica Jones is a show with lots of ups and downs, mostly because of the filler and focus on badly acted characters. The action scenes sucked big time. Luke did pretty much nothing but clomp about like an elephant and Jessica&#39;s powers were lazily done. We always see her shoving people and then we go to a boring shot of people flying backwards. The death of Luke&#39;s wife which we don&#39;t need to see several times always messes with the pacing of the episode because of how awful it was done. Maybe if her death was more impactful, like Jessica punching her through the chest or something I&#39;d be more shocked. But instead we get a slow motion punch that doesn&#39;t even look like it hurt. Jessica&#39;s jumping was extremely uncreative. We see her start to jump, and then we immediately cut to a shot of her feet landing somewhere. Hogarth did not need so much screen time, and all her divorce drama felt like filler. Which I could forgive if it wasn&#39;t so poorly executed. Pam, Hogarth, and Hogarth&#39;s ex were all poorly acted and sucked the excitement out of the room. Only Kilgrave could save scenes with any of the lesbian drama bunch. Jessica was inconsistent. Sometimes she was well acted, but other times she was an annoying brat who thought it was cool to use mild cuss words. There were some very stupid plot lines and twists, suchJessica deciding she wants to go to prison. It led up to a very exciting scene in the police station, but she acted like an out of character idiot the entire episode. We could&#39;ve used more information all around. I wanted to see more of Jessica under control of Kilgrave, the series desperately needed it. Why the writers chose to wipe what could&#39;ve been extremely powerful and impactful scenes under the rug and instead make pathetic divorce drama I&#39;ll never know. <br/><br/>I have a single reason this show has a 7 instead of a 5 or 6; Kilgrave. He is the sole reason I was kept engaged, and his death didn&#39;t excite me like a villain death should. I was just disappointed that now I don&#39;t care if there&#39;s a season 2, because I realized that I don&#39;t care about Trish or that psycho cop. Kilgrave is who I was watching for. He was marvelous. Tennant was absolutely fantastic, and the best episode of the series is very Kilgrave heavy. &quot;AKA Sin Bin&quot; was easily a 10 out of 10. Every other episode ranged from 7 and lower for me, with either Kilgrave or Luke being what saves the episodes. The other episode that was actually good all around was &quot;AKA WWJD?&quot;, which was also very Kilgrave heavy. If not for the atrocious lesbian drama, it would&#39;ve easily joined &quot;AKA Sin Bin&quot;a solid 10. Like &quot;Daredevil&quot;, this series severely lacks rewatchability. Those two episodes are the only ones worth going back to see again. <br/><br/>The series shines when it focuses on dialogue and character development for Jessica and Kilgrave. It fails in almost every other aspect. Shines is an understatement actually. It glistens. Just fantastically done, I must applaud the writers and acting behind Kilgrave and Jessica in those two episodes. But that isn&#39;t going to make me love everything about the series just because of the well done parts. Jessica&#39;s annoying girl neighbor was the most annoying, pathetic excuse for acting I&#39;ve seen in ages. I despised her. <br/><br/>All in all, the series is astounding for a couple episodes, but it whimpers for the most part. Give it a go if you want, but if you thought it&#39;s sister show Daredevil was bad you&#39;ll probably find this unwatchable.
