Looking forward to this, although does anyone else find it odd Amazon is launching Man in the High Castle against it? Seems like they'd have a lot of audience overlap

...isn't that how television works?

...isn't that how television works?

I mean... yeah, but this is the first time I can think of where two high profile "all episodes up at once" shows go head-to-head. Seems weird to me.

Netflix and Amazon are putting 11 full seasons of television shows online in the span of 7 weeks in Nov/Dec. This is just kind of the new normal.

Well the beauty of binge culture is that they can go up against each other, but people don't have to choose one or the other like they would watching in on live TV. I'm guessing that they wanted to launch before Thanksgiving because people will have more free time with the long holiday weekend.

 

[Cyber Caesar]

All reviews sound positive. Marvel and Netflix are off to an excellent start.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Saw the world premiere tonight, first two episodes. No one is ready for Luke Cage, I'll say that from jump. Outside of Jessica herself who is actually even better than the source material, Colter's Luke is the single most perfect one-to-one encapsulation of a comic book character in the history of adaptations.

Also, Carrie Anne Moss is actually short! Keep that in mind when watching her in everything she's in! The magic of film making!

 

[Spikematic]

I am going to watch the SHIT out of this show. You hear me? The every-loving SHIT!!!! Need to start stocking up junk food already!

 

[AmethystEnd]

Work isn't going to be painful this weekend since I'll have this keeping me company for like at least a shift and a half.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

Can Friday just hurry up and get here already???

- A|V Club review: Marvel’s Jessica Jones is a hard-boiled feminist neo-noir (with superpowers).

All of this adds up to a show that is very certain of its voice and tone. Streets are always covered with a foot of grimy snow, Jessica doesn’t own a garment that doesn’t have a hole or three in it, and every drawer or cabinet contains a bottle of booze or a pistol. If Jessica Jones can start fully exploring its own story, it’ll become the neo-noir superhero epic it’s striving to be.

You know, I'm so fucking glad ABC passed on this.

 

[Chariot]

At what time will it go up on friday? I really want to jump in as early as I am able to.

 

[xChildOfHatex]

Yep. I don't see Daredevil and Jessica Jones working as ABC shows.

Yup. The crowd went insane for him.

David Tennant also does not sound the same in person as he does in everything I've seen him in, including interviews.

It's discussed in the spoiler thread. I feel like it's kind of a bummer. But let's keep it in that thread.

Literally the most confusing article I've ever read, but anyone getting their giant scarf and leather jacket in a bunch over this sort of thing gets little sympathy from me.

Yeah, I'm not sure it's a bummer, just a little change. But it is interesting though.

All seems like typical televisionization to me.

I'm mostly concerned with how well it works as a show within the MCU. I can read Alias for the original feel.

- Warming Glow: The Dark, Compelling ‘Jessica Jones’ Claims A Shadowy Corner Of The Marvel Universe As Its Own

Terms like “noir,” “thriller,” and “gritty” are getting thrown around in reviews, as they should be. All three help to describe showrunner Melissa Rosenberg’s series, which operates more like a hard-boiled, psychological whodunit than yet-another superhero origin story.

 

[Mix Master]

This show gonna have sex scenes?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

This show gonna have sex scenes?

Yes

 

[Liquidsnake]

This show gonna have sex scenes?

Yes

This aside, I am looking forward to this very much, and the GF is on board too!!!!!!!

She loved Daredevil, and we banged it out in one day!

 

[hpkomic]

Hyped as hell. Hopefully this and Agent Carter S2 gives Marvel the sign to push Captain Marvel really hard.

I really hope these two are successful. I'm starting to get excited about Jessica Jones, only because it is coming closer and closer.

"Daredevil got me laid."
Could anyone imaging that, ten, twenty years ago? Time's change.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Fuck I hope this hits it big. Would love a 2nd season that goes past the source material.

Don't want J Jones to just get rolled up into a group show immediately.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Kind of amazed there's 13 episodes. The first two are soooo intense and build so hard I'm wary of how insane this show can get at that pace.

 

[Cloyster]

My excitement is making me a little scared teehee

 

[BrokenFiction]

Where's that countdown clock. I just want to stare at it for a while to make it go faster.

I haven't even heard of that before, so doesn't look like they are doing a good job marketing it.

 

[Pics_nao]

I'm hoping that I really get Friday off for this. I need to bang it out all at once.

 

[BrokenFiction]

Are any east coasters staying up all night to start watching?

 

[harSon]

goodbye weekend

 

[Pachimari]

Marvel has released a new clip. It gives us a glimpse of Jessica's fears for Kilgrave.

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

I really can't wait for this to come out, everything about this looks so good and Kilgrave and his power look so creepy.

"Daredevil got me laid."

It was actually the same with me, started watching Daredevil with a girl I knew and one thing led to another, curious about the sex scenes in this now

They are

HBO-level hardcore without the full nudity. Possibly even harder in terms of general intensity

- Flavorwire: ‘Marvel’s Jessica Jones’ Is TV’s Best Comic Book Adaptation, Period.

Television reviews can be prone to hyperbolic statements, but let me just get this all out anyway: Marvel’s Jessica Jones is the best Marvel-related television series, it is better than every single comic book adaptation on the air (including ratings smash The Walking Dead, the gritty and prestigeous Daredevil, and my beloved The Flash), and it will definitely end up on my list of the ten best shows of the year. And, if we’re being honest, I don’t believe any of these assertions to be hyperbolic in the least.

Because, in the end, this show is all about Jessica, and all of her erratic, volatile, twisted, depressed, sexy, brawling, and beautiful ways. She’s a person defined by her experiences and her personality, not by her powers. She’s a fucked-up hero who knows that “people do bad shit,” and she doesn’t exclude herself from that assessment. She takes her goddamn pain, and she lives with it — for better or worse. And that’s what makes Marvel’s Jessica Jones one of the most compelling superhero narratives ever.

Also, sex.

Hmm, thinking of rewatching Daredevil before Jessica Jones comes out, to pass time and all that.

Great reviews so far.

Also Sepinwall liked it and I find my tastes to line up with him. Pretty hyped now.
