...but I'll round up to 20, since IMDb doesn't allow for half points. I say 15% because that is roughly the amount of screen time allotted to Kilgrave in this first season, who turned out to be the only remotely interesting character on the show. (Needless to say, that means if he doesn't return in the second season, there will be no reason to watch at all.) Don't get me wrong: the scenes where Kilgrave did appear were great: 10/10, primarily due to David Tennant's performance (great to see him playing a real villain). But it only put the mediocrity of the other actors into sharp relief, making most of the show unbearable. By about episode 9, I just started fast-forwarding to get to the bits with him in it. I wanted to like this show - and it could have been really good - but unfortunately it was plagued by lazy, dumb writing, poor characterization, tedious subplots, and pointless, cheezy sex scenes. Especially the time spent on the Luke Cage subplot was ill spent - in part because the actor playing him was about as charismatic as a block of wood. But the screen time devoted to the relationships between Trish and Simpson, on the one hand, and Hogarth and her secretary, on the other, was equally mystifying. It was like they couldn't think of enough material to fill 13 episodes, so started cramming in random filler. The show would have been much stronger if they had infused just a little realism and maturity into the scripts, and kept the focus on the Jessica/Kilgrave relationship, which was compelling and (largely)well written.It makes sense that most of the comparisons have been with Daredevil, but Jessica Jones reminds me more of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Of course, they're trying to do something more noir here, but it's noir as conceived by a bunch of first-year college students (not so much dark, as "like, dark"). The snarky millennial sarcasm. The way Jessica guzzles liters of hard alcohol without ever getting drunk, hungover, or sick. The "dingy" apartment building where Jessica and her "weird" neighbors live (all curiously about twenty years old) like dorm-mates. Hell, Krysten Ritter even looks like Sarah Michelle Gellar with black hair. But the advantage "Buffy" had over this show is that it knew it was ridiculous, and maintained a self-deprecating humor. If Buffy read a bunch of "Twilight" novels, the result would probably be something very much like Jessica Jones (big surprise: JJ had same producer as "Twilight" movies). But if their target audience was the 14-22 range, then I suppose they were probably successful. Just seems a shame to waste a proper actor like Tennant on such juvenile crap.

After having watched most Marvel movies, I was interested in Jessica Jones. I have quickly become bored of the artistic direction, rhythm and characters of the movies, so the promise of a different take was appealing. I have heard of, but not seen the Daredevil series yet, though I plan on watching it.I just want to highlight a few things in this review, but in short, it is an above average show, with unremarkable directing that falls apart in its second half.The characters and dialogue "Jessica Jones" offers up a lead character who is presented to as fairly complex. I write this because a large portion of the first episode's dialogue has characters deliver exposition about her character to her, which really bothered me, as it is just an easy method to say things about the character, without having actual creative ways to (visually) reveal it. There are so many sentences where characters tell each other who they are (you are this, you are that, you are selfish, you are kind on the inside etc.) that it boggles the mind. Just count the number of "you are" and "I am" sentences. They are a lazy solution to character development and make scenes that should have a strong emotional punch feel flat. Most of the other dialogue doesn't fare any better.To regular movie consumers there is nothing exceptional about Jessica Jones' character, but that is possibly because of the pulp nature of the material. I felt the unnatural dialogue hurt some scenes, while the chemistry between characters supposedly romantically involved, was simply not there. Again, jumping back, there is an instance of her friend talking to Jessica Jones after talking to her and another character and then literally telling Jessica Jones that they have chemistry, that he obviously has feelings for her and she for him. If your characters don't have chemistry, and I think it was painfully lacking, than having her friend talk about this supposed electricity at length just seems misplaced and again, it is a lazy solution, and makes the scene, like quite a few dialogue driven one's just flat out boring.Out of the cast David Tennant and Carrie-Anne Moss are highlights, but they also have two of the more interesting characters so it's not that surprising, although Moss's character gets less screen time in the shows second half, which is a shame. Krysten Ritter is enjoyable, however as the series went on the most enjoyable scenes were the ones with Tennant, so when he was off screen the show lost much of its dynamism.The two parts of the season The series can be broken down into two halves, the first being a more noir-inspired, smaller scale affair, while the second is bigger, messier, with an inflated roster. To put it simply, the series somewhat loses its way through its second part. Episodes feel padded, scenes and characters could have been cut, the rhythm is off. Tennant really saves the second-half as there is not much of an arc to speak of, but at least the way we come to look at his character as we get to know him more is interesting. The first half feels much more urgent and has more style, though not by much. It gets by on a noir-inspired atmosphere, even though the direction or the scenes are never really visually interesting or do anything inspired with lighting, shadows, mood... I may have to watch it again, but on first viewing I found nothing visually compelling about the show, or just the general look of the show.A quick word on the action-scenes and special effect: they are bland, cheap, just really not enjoyable, the choreography is non-existent and are just too predictable to create tension.The story I wouldn't like to spoil much about the story. It is the type of story that on first glance makes you think like it was written for adults, and sure it has blood and mood and brooding, but it's just that: the surface image of mature material without the depth. It is completely acceptable as such.What I appreciated All in all it was a serviceable series that sadly fell apart in its second-half and delivered an anti-climactic, but expected finale. However there was one other thing I noticed. As a Caucasian man who loves noir and older movies I never really appreciated just how "natural" it seemed to have white males dominate most roles (both negative and positive). Because I was primed by media previews and reviews to look at this series as a show that gives more space to female characters I noticed that white males were a very small portion of this cast. Indeed in the first episode the most prominent white male is just some idiot in a sports car and throughout the series there are only 2 (and a half) prominent white male characters. Now, the fact that the rest of the cast was made up of more women, or non-white males doesn't make it a better show, but it did help me realize that the white-male dominated movies which I grew up with, and hence, had considered "normal", were just as much of a choice on the producers and marketers part as the casting of this series. So for that, it was worth viewing.

These series simply stoinks do not watch it unless you like torturing yourself!!!!

If you were expecting something as good as Daredevil, don't. Is it close? Maybe for some but my experience was rather disappointing given my high expectations based on the previous series that blew me away.I had read the comics this was based on and was pleased with how much they deviated so as to keep the story fresh and unpredictable. What I did not care for was the number of characters that were introduced, which was unexpected due to how antisocial the protagonist is. This cluttered up the story with uninteresting or utterly obnoxious nobodies whose subplots wasted time that could have been better spent resolving the major Jessica-related ones, ultimately resulting in an unsatisfying conclusion (not only due to the anticlimax of the final confrontation).David Tennant shines as Kilgrave, he is most certainly the high point of the story. They gave his character much more depth and a richer history than in the comics (no purple skin, sorry fans.) Far more sadistic than in the comics even, he easily outstrips Wilson Fisk for 'most evil villain' so far in any part of the MCU. Unfortunately this made many of his co-stars on screen with him at the same time look like amateurs, but they tried their best in their other scenes.Jones' abrasive personality made it difficult for her to have any real chemistry with anyone but it was painfully true with Luke Cage, and one character even had to remark on their chemistry as if those of us who didn't 'get it' were supposed to just buy it. His character was also overused, it made this series feel less like Jessica's own, and also puts into question how independent Cage will be when his own series starts.A few inconsistencies also marred the enjoyment factor of the series. Jones' powers are never satisfactorily explained (and the opportunity to at least reveal their origin was wasted with too many minor characters and subplots) and Cage's powers are also used inconsistently (explain to me how an explosion fails to deafen and/or blind him, at least temporarily, and yet a shotgun blast under his chin puts him in a coma.) Also in this world of aliens and superheroes, peoples' inability to accept that there exists a mind controller is inexcusable, especially with other series like Agents of SHIELD establishing that numerous 'gifted' individuals exist and are being hunted down. Even those who are directly affected by Kilgrave seem to want not to believe it. It gets aggravating even before the halfway point. Not to mention lots of other miscellaneous stupidity from most of the characters.Ultimately it's a story about trying to find one's identity that never pans out, tons of moral conundrums that go unresolved, and about the cleverest thing you see is that with all her great strength that others like Daredevil don't have, she can't just go throwing it around with abandon because of the nature of her nemesis who hides behind innocent pawns.Don't make the mistake of raising your expectations for this because of Daredevil like I did. It feels like this could have benefited from a shorter production run, maybe 8 episodes instead. Curious to see how they'll bring her back in the future, though I'm skeptical if they'd actually give this a second season or any other solo treatment.

The hype is not real...

Good not great. It's hard to measure up the ridiculously high bar set by Marvel's Daredevil and this show does bring something new and different to the table in the superhero genre. There were also strong performances from Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, David Tennant, and Rachael Taylor.At the end of it, however, I found myself disappointed. The show suffered from an unevenly paced storyline without any arc and struggled with an identity crisis. I was excited for the prospect of a film noir superhero detective story idea with many more smaller cases providing clues/insight into Jessica the character, her past, and the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe (which is what fans and audiences want – character development!!). I was also excited at the prospect of a psychological thriller superhero story. But the result was a tepid middle ground between the two. There was also not much insight into Jessica's past (I get they want to draw out the origin of her powers into future story lines) but I think it was a missed opportunity to not explore her time under Kilgrave's control more to build a deeper connection for both characters. I thought there would be a slow burn with Jessica trying to overcome her past trauma and leading up to a final overcoming/confrontation of this but the character development was too whipsawed throughout the entire show. The staggered pace was also stuffed with way too many ancillary, undeveloped characters (Malcolm, Hope, Robyn, Reuben, Pam, Hogarth's ex, and the worst offender of all Simpson!) that were too much of a distraction for me - either because they were poorly acted or I could care less about the character in relation to the overall story.And what a waste of Carrie Anne Moss and her character, who apparently was only there as a plot device. Whether Hogarth was in the show or not apparently made no discernible difference to the story or outcome. Was Hogarth a friend or foe, was she a growing threat and connected to a larger scheme or was she an ultimate ally there to help Jessica and connect to Iron Fist, or was she really just THAT concerned about her freakin' divorce. I struggle to answer these questions and it was obvious the writers struggled with the same dilemma and decided to toss the character aside 2/3 of the way through with no resolution. It even would have been worth the entire character and side plot had Pam been ultimately represented by Nelson & Murdock! (alas missed opportunities)Even the introduction of the villain felt forced and fell short. The ads made it seem like there would be Joker-esque mastermind lurking just beyond the corner at all times pulling all the strings. But instead we got a manboy stalker who was too busy watching soccer games and buying all of Jessica's old toys on eBay . I really expected Kilgrave to offer a larger, ominous, scene stealing presence driving the intrigue of the show.All in all, after watching all the episodes, I kept focusing on the show's missed opportunities more so than being excited for its future prospects and what's to come.

Dull and aimless! But Krysten Ritter rocks!

Starts out promising but quickly has you scratching your head, not because you're confused but because you are wondering how Marvel let this happen.Most motives are weakly justified and you can't help but think "isn't there a better way to do this?" on multiple occasions. The villain's motive is one of the most vague ones. When the writer actually seemed to decide to clarify a motive, it really isn't convincing.Speaking of the villain. Though David Tenant's acting is a good effort it's truly not the best (Eka Darville playing Malcolm deserves most credit here). Tenant unfortunately brings no substance to the Kilgrave character. He's like Doctor Who gone bad, and just a little more serious. A villain who in the early parts of the show was portrayed as terrifying quickly becomes a player in a cat and mouse chase which keeps switching sides for questionable reasons.Lots of unnecessary characters are introduced and left half developed. Not only do we not care as much as they are made to look like we should, but most of them play no real role in the advancement of the plot and at best are used as excuses for key events.The director takes huge shortcuts in the portrayal of the powers. You could almost hear the words "that would be too expensive" as you watch the embarrassing scenes. Just about excusable for a low budget feature film but for a Marvel, Netflix original with so much hype and expectation, it's shameful.---Could be considered slight spoilers ahead--- Promising plans are made and abandoned at the smallest let downs because how else would the season be 13 episodes long if it was that easy right? So lets try a worse idea and then abandon that too. It's shameful how the reasons for pivotal actions which you expect to grow, develop and cause tension and hysteria are quickly wiped over once what's done is done simply used as a reason for it to be done sometimes even unnecessarily. It's a pathetic attempt at justifying adding tension elements and abandoning them half baked.

AKA a brilliant show with a truly menacing and memorable villain.

As I look at these reviews, I see a lot of people that have watched one or two episodes and anointed this show as innovative and the best of its kind. I was a HUGE fan of Daredevil and I could not wait for the other installments of the Defenders series. To this end, I watched every episode of this show before deciding to review it. I never review shows because I am not a fan boy nor am I self-important enough to think my opinion holds that much weight. I love Krysten Ritter from Don't Trust the B and I appreciate Carrie Anne-Moss's effort, the actor who played Luke Cage as well as David Tennant's work with what he was given. I will say however that this show was extremely disappointing and it does not deserve its initial praise. To praise it is to beg for more like it and I can do no such thing.The first two episodes were promising and led me to believe another Daredevil/Dark Knight caliber show was in store. I was wrong. It was not until after the fact that I noticed this show was "created" by the woman who penned the Twilight films and also wrote two episodes of this show. This should have been a dead giveaway I should've cut and ran.The story has no arc. There is only a thirteen episode cat and mouse runaround derailed by incessant Hamlet-esque thinking aloud before every move, torture scenes, unnecessary characters that I never wanted to get invested in, bad fight choreography and no masterfully interwoven plot. Unlike Luke Cage, the only thing that gives Jones special abilities on screen are shots of her throwing people followed by shots of people landing far away, knocking over walls, etc. Killgore's abilities and malice are vastly underutilized. It falls not on Tennant's acting, but EVERY SINGLE SMALL PART CASTED for you to believe in his "mind control" and these actors did not deliver. The writing is also to blame.Spoilers If anyone can remember back to Daredevil, think of when Wilson Fisk's name is spoken and the hit-man impales himself to avoid Kingpin's wrath. The thought of someone so sinister, so evil that you would kill yourself before facing the consequences of defying him, it gave me chills. Killgore actually has the ability to make you kill yourself and others, to commit murder in his name and the follow-through of this show made him little more than an annoyance by the end...a grown toddler whining, not letting people blink and throwing temper-tantrums.You could say that Killgore stays under the radar so as not to confirm Jones' pleas that Hope did not kill her parents, that it was mind control. Based on that creative choice, we're left with a subdued evil mastermind, a hero that refuses to kill the villain thus allowing him to escape only to be hunted OVER AND OVER AGAIN as well as a girl that we don't even care about except for the fact that she killed her parents for shock value in the first episode, handcuffing the ENTIRE SEASON. The finale, the payoff, the 'reckoning' of audience desire for retribution that I wasted 7-8 hours/episodes more than the story's actual premise should've required, plays as little more than a reminder of something you've seen before but done better.In summary, the creatives were given a rich complicated lead character dealing with problems of PTSD, alcoholism, past sexual abuse and being orphaned all while maintaining feminist ideology and an ability to change her community with SUPER POWERS. They were given a villain with the ability to wreak immeasurable havoc through a cocktail of MIND-CONTROL and PSYCHOPATHY. They were given a dark, corrupt city already outlined in Daredevil. They were given Doctor Who for God sake's, Trinity, Jane from Breaking Bad as well as Lester Freamon from The Wire (Clarke Peters, far too talented an actor for his character's pedestrian involvement). This should have been a home run. Instead, they gave me Twilight and chase scenes set to jazz.

I get to enjoy this show in an ideal format: in a big old house, with no distractions all day, on a variety of screens, with alcohol if I need it and homemade steak and potato pies for breaks. To be able to start with coffee and toast and watch the whole series today is like a festival, and to get to do it at home in my Ugg boots and sweats is amazing. Thanks, Netflix. Having Supergirl and now Jessica Jones available as role models for modern women is a revolutionary feat for television. They're bookends: Supergirl is a kind, unspoiled alien super-oatmeal raisin cookie and Jessica Jones is an Earth-born mutant with similar powers who's been broken and tortured and wounded by a sadist. I loved Daredevil, though I think it's so much more vital to have JJ's fears and motives based on anguish over her past that still haunts and threatens her: I couldn't help thinking that this heroine is every woman in the world who's ever experienced psychological or physical abuse and is hurt, vulnerable, and even a little sarcastic and calloused about it. Daredevil fights to save his image of Hell's Kitchen, which is in pretty good shape today though he still fights for it, but Jessica's blows are all motivated by protection of the vulnerable and damage she carries with her inside forever. She's Ophelia from Hamlet, only she chose not to kill herself, was empowered with superpowers, drinks a lot and participates in casual sex as a PI. Because she's still got her wounds. I was dubious if I would like the added psychological dark material in this show since for most of the history of TV and film, sex and violence are used for shock and sensation. It's an exciting time we live in when creative minds can include nudity, sexuality, and violence which tug at our heart strings the way these things do in real life, rather than just being titillation. For every pair of exposed breasts on screen there is a heartbroken father whose princess is gone. But the violence here really chops wood for the story: it's felt violence, not just well-choreographed MMA workouts, which even Daredevil is at times. No fists or lasers can carry the emotional impact a well- portrayed pair of eyes or lips can. Joss' "Avengers" brought humanity and authentic feelings to the characters so we cared and enjoyed their banter. It's why they haven't made, in my mind, a good Superman film nor a believable Batman yet: their humanity is always still in check behind masks of Superness or Bat Brooding. The rough pounding sex scene in the pilot, for example, seems like as reasonable, though unhealthy, a choice for her as pouring bourbon into her water bottle to go to work as PI: the deep-tissue pummeling that numbs some of the hurt. They're both terrible choices for a hurt girl, but not many of us would say we wouldn't consider them temporarily for soothing deep emotional wounds. I do think one vestige of noir they chose to keep out was good: cigarettes. I barely know a noir without smoke, and I don't think the comics used them either, but it's a good idea to keep them out for their influence on young women. I bet Jim Beam is glad they have product placement in the pilot, and I bet bourbon sales will skyrocket this weekend. Lastly, I have to get on board with using women as title characters in a variety of superhero forms--Agent Carter, Supergirl, and this show, because, like Ingmar Bergman found out in his gorgeous films, it's a lot more fun to watch a woman on film than to watch a male actor, especially when we've seen so few of them. A female noir heroine is so much more nuanced and layered with weapons and vulnerabilities than we ever saw from male noir heroes, though I've often thought one reason we loved Bogart was that we could sense the pain he carried. The scene where Jessica carries out a bit of PI business with a laptop while sitting on her toilet wasn't a choice Lucille Ball or Mary Tyler Moore had, or the Bionic Woman, or any character from Tolstoy or Shakespeare. But you know if Tolstoy or Shakespeare knew they could write those scenes in, they would, to bring verisimilitude to what women really are. Congratulations, Marvel and Netflix. I hope you make a gazillion dollars on all your shows and last forever because you deserve it. But this one, so far, is the best series I've seen. I rarely cry at TV shows but the emotional impact of the ending of the pilot with the girl and her family was so well-constructed and emotionally justified, though manipulative, that I just collapsed. Because it did what good Drama has always done: given us authentic emotion we earn together. Good work. We might just be making television that's actually Art and not just entertainment.
