Marvel's Jessica Jones

After getting some distance from the show after finishing it, I'd say DD is better overall. But, it has more/better action sequences tied in with the story, and a 'real crime' type feel to the villain rather then a drama/psychological feel. Kingpin is very smart, but very brutal as well, and you almost feel for the villain in many ways.
Most people that are drawn to these shows, and marvel comics in general, tended to like DD more. It was a gritty TV version of his comic self.

I really enjoyed this show. I completely agree with all the comments about inconsistent powers. But at a story level, it just didnt matter -- the story hooked me anyway; what a great villain and what a great dynamic between hero and villain.

Its funny how strongly it contrasts with Daredevil. These are two of the dumbest and least interesting superheroes ever created for comic books. Show me someone who claims to have been a daredevil fan from comics and I'll show you a liar. Both heroes are complete yawnfests on their own in the comics.

Apparently you've never heard of Frank Miller.

Or a Walkman and a hoodie pulled over your head so you can't see what's going on around you even though you're clearly the most valuable person to the main character and there is no logical reason why you don't get shot the moment the hoodie is down and you're revealed not to be JJ.

Would Helen Keller be kilgraves arch nemesis?

I don't really get all the nitpicking about shit like that. You know Jessica Jones is a woman right? Seems about right for a master plan concocted by a chick.

I'll admit bad writing and plot armor get under my skin regardless of the sex/gender of the character it surrounds.

But then she got to jump like 50 feet over them in the air while they just watched her until she took off running again then they could shoot, that was close..

Finally finished this. It started fine, but by the midway point I was bored with any scene not involving Kilgrave. And, like others are saying, the final couple episodes were cringe-inducing with all the stupid people doing stupid things. I think I'll avoid the next season unless it gets a lot of great reviews about how it has improved. I definitely preferred Daredevil.

That was OK for a first season, I also found faults in the episodes but nothing that was a major turn-off.

The makers did a lot right...

The casting was on point for me.
The acting was solid.
This was a good adult comic book translation to TV.
I didn't get an overall feel of lazy writing or crap plot devices.
All the characters that have a supporting or major role have something interesting about them. I liked them basically (in they are interesting to watch).

I will give season 2 a go should that happen. Looking forward to Luke Cage and Iron Fist series should they make them. And ready to watch DD season 2 in March.

For me I would give it a 7 out of 10.

It has already been renewed by netflix for a 2nd season. Probably wont be out till sometime in 2017 however.

Finished it with the wife the other day. I didn't mind it, but as soon as kilgrave started having more of an upfront role, it just pointed out how much better of an actor he is than anyone else. On top of that, it was a great role. You could see how much fun David Tennant was having.

With his absence in season 2, I'm just not sure what there will be to latch on to.

This one's been harder to get through
I'm at like episode 6

Don't bother.

I can't take shows seriously where a 90-pound anything has super strength and can forklift bad guys. That and the story was kinda lame.

Netflix knows how to showcase some interesting villains though. Two of them now where I could relate to the bad guy. His parents WERE shitheads.
