a5c7b9f00b Following the tragic end of her brief superhero career, Jessica Jones tries to rebuild her lifea private investigator, dealing with cases involving people with remarkable abilities in New York City. Ever since her short-lived stinta superhero ended in tragedy, Jessica Jones has been rebuilding her personal life and careera hot-tempered, sardonic private detective in Hell&#39;s Kitchen, New York City. Plagued by self-loathing and a wicked case of PTSD, Jessica battles demons from within and without, using her extraordinary abilitiesan unlikely champion for those in need… especially if they&#39;re willing to cut her a check. The series starts out good, really, really good. You have a guy who can control others via his mind and you have a hero who has super strength and has been used and raped by the mind controller. Her strength is just useless against him. Even worse, he uses her strength for his own goals. <br/><br/>Later on she can free herself and tries to get revenge. <br/><br/>This is a great intro if I have ever seen one. Sadly, it all goes downhill from there. There are so many great ingredients which are wasted. <br/><br/>1. The actress Krysten Ritter: I hope that Krysten never reads this, but I have to say, she is not very good in this role. You never see the alcoholism or the problems that come with it. Her emotional range is just very, very narrow. Even Rachael Taylor does a better job and this should say something. She never feels like a character with super strength, let alonesomeone who has problems with alcohol.<br/><br/>2. the other characters: Luke Cage does not have any emotional binding and chemistry with Jessica. Will Simpson - why is this guy in the show actually? Trishs mother - a character that could have brought so much, but does so little Killgraves parents - another waste of potentially interesting characters I could go on, but you should see for yourself. Plus I am too lazy :)<br/><br/>3. the story Even though the predicament of Jessica is really good, the writing is really bad. Killgrave does make so many mistakes, this show should have ended after Episode 3. But letting him get away episode after episode after episode makes this series feel very bloated. They should have either shortened the story or put in filler episodes where we get to learn more about the characters and their every day life, perhaps 2-3 freaks of the week that Jessica needs to deal with. <br/><br/>Why still 6 points? It is still OK to watch. And David Tennant is absolutely awesome and believable in his role. His humor is funny (even though sadistic, but hey, its TV), his outbursts feel real. Till episode 6 the show is even good. But after that the writers lack direction. <br/><br/>Watch it if you must, it is still entertaining, but if you are not into Marvel, you can skip this. Daredevil is leagues above this series. One more Marvel. or maybe not.<br/><br/>Despite strong themes like trauma, rape and violence, this production is a little too thin to last the full 13 episodes; the plots, subplots and,character development simply is not enough. This first season in the series would have benefited from a shorter 6-8 episode run.<br/><br/>The acting is somewhat uneven, perhaps suffering a bit from the thin script, with a sometimes stunted dialogue and theatrical style acting. Since the actual cast in most scenes except the final is relatively small. Perhaps stronger actors and more populated would have delivered better credibility and a more intense performance.<br/><br/>The set is typically Netflix, usually with few actors in most scenes, crisp photo with blurred back. <br/><br/>Acting 4/10. Production 6/10 script 4/10<br/><br/>Overall 4/10. I fell asleep several times, the protagonist is too monotone in her acting, support cast underperforms due to thin script.
