No. The whole arc should have been wrapped up in 6-7 episodes, but they stretched it. Some mediocre to horrible writing, bad action scenes, questionable low budget special effects (can't forget those awkward super jumps). A meh series overall
IMO Daredevil is 9/10, Jessica Jones is 6/10.
i kinda liked the hogarth divorce subplot. too bad now i know that it doesnt actually tie in with anything else in the series :<
aaaaaaaaah
Yeah.Episode 6:Jesus Christ Kilgrave. His creepy actions keep piling up. I'm feeling a lot worse for TV Jessica than her comic version. Not only is her abuser at large, but he is doing his best to fuck with her and everyone around her. I'm dreading continuing on to episode 7 because of all the fucked up shit he is likely going to be up to.
Keep watching..
Almost all the subplots effect the main story in some big fashion.
as contrived reasons to let kilgrave escape. Not really that great.
It's not a cop-out, just impatient me getting disappointed. It's happening next year!
Nope, he's a Scot. Gets criticised a lot for his "Dick Van Dyke" Londoner accent, but it's pretty good.
I actually think her plans are well thought out for the most part.
You think it's dumb to try to stab him with the drug but you gloss over the fact that she saves Trish by using the drug to make him think he had killed her, slips the phone in his pocket to track him back to Killgrave, finds Killgrave and COULD have drugged him (she had the advantage of being hidden and being above him. Dude's not a ninja, crashing down into him as you stab him would have worked) but ended up exposing herself to save the cop that he just told to jump off the ledge.
No, she got somewhat lucky with the (Ep-5)Plan after that was also solid and worked. She used her skills to find out who was spying on her, tailed them, found out how to get the jump on Killgrave by catching that Killgrave sends a random person to tell Mal where to go. But Killgrave thought one step ahead and had people not under his control protecting him in case something happened.
(Ep-7)Supermax was also a desperate but solid plan. She's already connected to 3 murders and Killgrave seems completely focused on getting to her. She knows that his powers have a range and a limit, he can't get to her unless he's willing to make a big scene and expose himself. But no one wanted to go along with that plan with might have been it's downfall (Still not sure how he knew she was taking the head to the cops)
The plan to record him in the cage was a good plan and would have worked but Trinity fucked that up by snipping the cord that woulda zapped everyone in the box.
It doesn't make sense when the person is as dangerous as Kilgrave. Hell Daredevil spent half the season debating whether he should kill Kingpin and Kingpin was nowhere near as psychotic or dangerous to the public as Kilgrave.I'm not sure what's so hard to get. She's trying to expose him ... just like when Law Enforcement send people deep undercover to get as much evidence they can to take someone to trail or when they allow some people to be free to do terrible things as they're building a case against them.
She's not a damn ninja out for revenge or some public hero who can swoop in and bust faces. She's a PI and a victim who was controlled into being raped and turned into a murderer. She's trying to get justice for another girl who went through the same shit as well as all his victims by exposing him (I sound like a broken record but really ... I gotz no clue why others don't see the importance in her being a PI and trying to expose this monster).
That's not a good counterargument.Yes everything in this show is contrived, since it's fiction...
Just finished Episode 6. I thought it was supposed to have a holy shit ending but it didn't happen. Something I don't understand,why did Kilgrave pay the million dollar to buy the house, instead of just telling the guy to sign the papers?
Keep watching..

Episode 6 Spoilers:
Not really caring for the whole subplot with Jessica having killed Luke's wife. I feel like it's too convenient and unnecessary but maybe I'm just complaining because of how different the relationship is from in the comics.
The secretary is kind of likable but I honestly don't know what she sees in Hogarth.

i dunno how the hell luke cage is gonna carry his own show. he's a really good looking brick wall character but he acts like a damn brick wall too. lacks the charisma that jessica jones and matt murdock have absolutely.
hopefully they liven him up a lot more for his own series.

Maybe a Coen-esque noir feel where Luke is the straight man in a strange scenario.
She made contact with a couple, then a bunch more ran up with the tasers.They didn't jump her out of no where. She made contact with them and they kept getting up. Between that and her having so much trouble controlling the family in the condo they made her seem "strong for a girl" rather than super powered when it comes to fighting.
Yeah lol
You'll come back to that. It's inconsistent.
No they don't, there are plenty of instances where they question her plans and tell her that she's doing the wrong thing. Even Jessica acknowledges that much of what she does aren't always the best ideas.Which is fine as long as characters point out that she's not thinking rationally instead of just glossing over it. The show takes this stance at times of Jessica thinking she knows what she's doing and other characters accepting that, when it's clear she doesn't.

I watched 2 episodes of daredevil a day and I binge watched jessica jones just now and I think daredevil is way better.I just watched the first five episodes and I know it's too early to tell but JJ is better than Daredevil. And I thought DD was pretty damn good.

Episode 8Trish brings up how bad of an idea it is playing house with Kilgrave and it's mostly glossed over how bad of an idea it is in order to push forward the 'mentoring' concept. Which I might add was a bad idea so Jessica was right in not going along with it. However I feel the show doesn't delve into the questions of morality enough and when it does, it's in such a superficial light then it appears more as lipservice than anything else.
That's something I feel Daredevil did a lot better with the church visits.

Comic and up to Episode 6 spoilers:i am! episode 7 now :>
i also thought that part with her connection to luke's wife's death was a bit contrived but i am not a follower of the comic so i just thought this was how it is also in the comic... how are they like in the comic, pau?
yeaaaaaaaa... i like pam though. she's... idk. she comes off really like a decent person. that little scene at the restaurant where they ran into hogarth's wife.... and how hogarth said that 'she will not get this restaurant' and pam said, 'yeah she will'
but like. i dont think pam is overly good either. i mean, she had to know that she was sleeping with a married woman :x
idk. there are things in there that interest me, is all im saying :3
Yup I posted this exact thing earlier, holy shit.Ok, Episode 5 with the magazine vendor"Pick up the coffee, throw it in your face".
Absolutely lost my shit.
They're different characters, though. Daredevil enjoys what he does while feeling guilty about how much he enjoys it while Jessica has no interest in being a hero but ends up doing heroic stuff because she's a good person and shit ends up happening around her. As for the episode 8 thingshe tried out the Kilgrave mentor thing, realized that there was no possible way he would reform without her having to give up her life and stay with him (which is pretty much all he wanted anyway), so she knocked him out and locked him up. They weren't interested in redeeming Kilgrave and Jessica gave up the fleeting notion that she could use him to do good work.
