Man these episodes are so emotionally heavy. Like one of these feel like 4 Daredevil episodes or something...but I can't stop watching.
Subpar story compared to this.

After episode 2: Killgrave is... disturbing. Especially so given how easily he can use his powers.

Half way through and absolutely loving it. The end of episode six... Just wow.
This is how I feel right now and I'm about to start episode 5. However, I'll reserve my final judgment until I'm finished.
I can honestly understand if people feel this way. This show is not for everyone, and the pace and tempo is really slow, compared to recent "comic book" adaptations on TV. It really is slow.
Great pilot. They actually seem genuinely interested in fleshing out characters at a methodical more satisfying pace than how all their other shows do so abruptly. Could wind up being the best thing Marvel has done on TV if they keep it up. Can't wait to binge the rest this weekend

The 13th Doctor would have one time to come at T'Challa wrong and the entire thing falls apart ending with the TImelord dead...permanently.
13th Doctor won't have a companion who can compare to Jenna Coleman tho.
all that eyefucking they did in the first scene, i am shocked Dani didn't pop into being right there
yes

Well didn't wake early enough for the first episode so I'll hope my day goes fast so I can dive in when I'm home

Only watched the first episode but I loved it, Cage was better than I expected and Malcolm was good comedic relief from all the noir.
Brilliant, can't wait to see more tonight.

Remember, there's also a spoiler thread folks. 
No nudity but more explicit than something on network TV. Something like you might see on a non-premium cable channel like FX or AMC.

Will this be better than Daredevil? I hated the fight scenes, they were really lame and got me out of the flow so hoping this wont have any fight scenes at all

Just a quick reminder about this. If you'd like to discuss the series without tags, please use the spoiler thread.
I'll keep an eye on the thread best I can,but if there are issues with lazily tagged or untagged spoilers, please let me know via PM. Thanks.Today is launch day!
Don't forget about all of this:

FUNK-Y-PPA-4
I contend that the MAX part of the MCU should have landed at Cinemax* instead of Amazon. Alias and Punisher could have been INSANE if modeled after shows like Banshee and Strike-Back.
*where no one would watch the shows
It seems to have less fight scenes than Daredevil. Give it a go.
Did you finish the season though?
People just need to be reminded that not every Marvel book is fighting. Jessica Jones is a perfect adaption of the source material and it doesnt need fights.

They're really not the same. Daredevil was a quick paced physical show, while Jessica Jones is a slow methodical psychological show. Jessica Jones has like 1/3 the number of fights compared to Daredevil.
Yeah exactly this. It's a nice break from all of the action in the other MCU properties.
Nah just the pilot.
I am just a little bit afraid that people label JJ now as "boring" because of this :/ Its slower paced, but still amazing.
I don't care much what people will label it. If it gets a lot of views and great publicity, then there's high chances for a second season, and that's fine with me. If there's something boring out there, it'll be Agent Carter.
It seems the Marvel branding brings expectations of elaborate superhero fights. This seems to be more like the movie Unbreakable and I do think it's a refreshing change.
There were easter eggs? D: I need to rewatch this

Got up real early in the morning and watched two episodes before getting ready for work.
It's gonna be hard not to binge everything today.

I'm all for a slow paced drama I'm just really bored by the plot right now. I know nothing about JJ so I'm can only judge the show on what I'm seeing and right now, five episodes in, I've yet to be gripped. But, like I said, I'll wait until I'm finished before rendering a true judgment.

She is a private detective with superhuman strength. In the history before the show, she has given the hero thing a shot and it didn't work out at all. She and Luke Cage are often linked.
Jessica Jones have super strength and can fly in the comics. In the MCU, she can jump very high, instead of flying. She's a former superhero, now a private investigator.
I'm really curious, if there'll be any hints towards Iron Fist in this show - have anyone noticed anything, other than Jeri Hogarth?
