Recently started watching this show and for the first several episodes I was very intrigued. Kilgrave the super-villain (acted insanely well by Tennant), is compelling, and Jones at first is sympathetic, interesting, and supporting characters have promise.
Unfortunately by Episode 7 I had lost quite a bit of interest. After a while Jones - perpetually drunk, unwashed, sullen and angry - grates; she is very one-dimensional. Although what happened to her was terrible, other people have suffered at Kilgrave's hands, but no one takes it to the persistent pity-party levels Jones does, or does as good a job at alienating people. She's not coping, and snarls at anyone who tries to help her. She doesn't want people to get hurt because of her, but she is so emotionally crippled and wound so tightly by what happened it is difficult to trust her judgment and perspective, or sometimes even if she is sane. She can't see that every moment she lives her life in a broken way is a victory for Kilgrave.
Episode 7 is a good example. After Kilgrave leaves her a terrible 'present', she hatches a wacky, unbelievable plot that she eventually convinces her friends to sort of go along with, against their better judgment. (Just the idea that a 'detective' would THINK you could get locked up immediately in SuperMax is absurd.) It's not even clear that she has really thought this through but her wild ranting and demand that everyone listen to her finally 'wins' people over. You get the feeling after a while any price is okay as long as she beats Kilgrave. Kilgrave is a bloody monster, but I'm not certain Jones wouldn't be okay with the entire world going to Hell if she could finally catch him.
She's just too one dimensional. Her potential thoughtfulness and complexity is lost in a haze of booze, self-recrimination and self-pity. After a while she doesn't really engender sympathy but encourages eye rolls.
I also haven't felt the connexion with Luke. Carnally maybe,...

Netflix's next Marvel series, which is quite, and focuses on trauma from abuse; physical, sexual and/or psychological.
Kristen Ritter was pretty good as the titular character, as was David Tennant as Kilgrave, respectively.
While I was disappointment that it ended, I am at the same time pleased that it did in good form.

Of the 5 Marvel shows Netflix did this one is by far the weakest, Jessica Jones tries to be a Privet detective show and goes extremely heavily on all the clichés. Kilgrave is an interesting villain, but can't make up for the weak character that Jessica Jones is. I would recommend any of the Netflix marvel shows over this one, even Iron Fist season 1 was more entertaining than this.
