So, how is it compared to Daredevil? Not expecting it to touch it, but I'm curious to see how it stacks up.

I'm only at Episode 3 currently, but so far it is a fantastic show, though slower paced, and dare I say, not as "entertaining" as Daredevil. You need more patience to delve into Jessica's world.

I think it's slightly slower, with a more intense antagonist and a pretty good supporting cast. Daredevil is slightly "cooler" in that he's basically a ninja at the start, and JJ is less skill and more power in her fights.
Yeah, he' describing her comics origin.

I'd heard that too, but there's a real brief conversation where it seems to be implied.
Please use spoiler tags.
And which episode one is talking about.
I'm rewatching episode 1 and 2 with the girl now.
Just finished the third episode and I have to say this is the best of all the comic book shows I've seen so far. Obviously I'll fully evaluate it when I'm finished but right now this is complete gold. The performances are stellar,I love the noir atmosphere and it deals with some very serious themes. I love how a lot of the focus isn't on her powers. I'm a huge marvel comics reader but I missed Alias back in the day and know her mostly through Daredevil and Avengers. Really cool show and if it continues this way it will be slightly above DD and the Flash for me.
Its far fetched, but maybe he is a more grounded Danny Rand?!? The whole secret mission stuff and he can fight and everything. A billionair wouldnt have fitted in anyway. He just looks exactly like newe interpretions of Danny!

The first three episodes of Daredevil were boring to me. This shit was incredible and I just finished the first episode so far. I would've
had the girl shoot herself too
that girl will probably spend the rest of her life in jail, so this result may be worse.
Thanks!
So, is this show good for some female empowerment? I might try to get the wife on this with me.

It has some pretty strong female characters, though it's a much more rugged thing than the sort of empowerment vibe I get from say, Supergirl commercials.
Jessica Jones herself is no angel. She's got a temper, likes to get to the bottom of a bottle, and she's not really great to other people. She usually does the right thing, but it's like pulling teeth.
I haven't gotten to watch any episodes yet. I'll try to watch a few tonight when I get home from work.

Not really a spoiler, but I really like how they find ways to make a
iPhone function like a "corded" phone.

Lol me too, same ratio of density even
DD relied too much on the combat that ranged from very good to meh. Kingpin arch was much better than DD arch because his scenes were more personal and emotional.
And this is the strength of JJ so far. They are really psychological, literal mindgames.

Been watching since 3 this morning. Loving this show, just started episode 9. Shit is going crazy.
Nice. Sounds like a relatable character, and not the "perfect woman" character so many seem to want.
Alright. So I'm going to try to watch a few eps with my wife this weekend.

I mean, I don't know anyone, especially ladies, who would want a "perfect woman" character, whatever that would be, but rather an interesting, flawed one that still has real empowerment. Every hero should be flawed in some way to be interesting.
I've never heard of people wanting that at all. Not sure where you're getting it from.

Episode 3
Such a contrast from the first time.
Speculation/comics stuff
Anyway, great episode. I'm living this show so far. Between this, Daredevil, and AoS, Marvel and Netflix are killing it in the episodic space.
These sex scenes. Oh my.
Holy shit at Kilgrave calling in.

So I'm guessing Trish isn't Hellcat yet, unless she's hiding her abilities? But then that wouldn't make sense as she didn't completely dominate that mind controlled cop. Ugh, I wish marvel could get the Xmen in MCU. And jeebus at that stalker room.

So, I am not a fan of most marvel stuff, but I loved Daredevil like most of us so I jumped into this, not really knowing what to expect.
This show so far is interesting, but really slooooow. I am just on Episode 2, I feel like nothing really happened. Hope it get's faster paced from now on.
Also, is this in the Daredevil universe ?

Yes, as well as Agents of SHIELD and the various Marvel movies. It's really on its own, though, there have only been one or two very small references.

with marvel everything is in the same MCUniverse. so yes
Oh thanks, would've guessed so.
I too would have
made the girl to shoot herself.
Also I loved the beginning for Daredevil. The action scenes were amazing and the characters were pretty fun. JJ I don't care much for the lawyer and for Jessica friend (the girl that works on the radio).
All we know right now is, that it is set after Daredevil S1.
I have now finished watching Episode 1 and 2 twice. I can finally move on to Episode 3.
