I want to smell dark matter
SPOILERS for the full season, not using spoiler code since no one ever reads posts under spoiler code, just stop reading if you don't want spoilers.
Seriously stop reading.
Well, it did end up suffering from the usual Marvel Netflix problems, while still being enjoyable tv thanks to the acting. Krysten Ritter, as always, was excellent. Rachael Taylor and Carrie-Anne Moss, despite their characters doing things I didn't like, offered strong support. The guy playing the villain was good but he never quite got interesting enough. What kind of annoyed me is that it AGAIN went to the storyline where the hero tries to stop a villain being murdered to prove that justice is real or stop another hero going to the dark side or whatever. This has happened in like five seasons of these Marvel Netflix shows and I get that it's a running theme but it's a very samey theme. And as a fan of the PATSY Walker character from the comics it's a shame Trish is never going to become her. Maybe season four would have seen her getting out of prison somehow and redeeming herself but that's never going to happen now! And really I can't exactly complain about what happened given that season two ended with her killing someone on her path to becoming a hero so it all kind of made sense. It's just a shame we've kind of seen it all before.
Also there was the usual drag in the middle.
It was good that they got Luke for a cameo (though he was still a crime boss so I guess that's just how his character will be forever now) and even Tennant for a voiceover. Ending on Jessica being free of Killgrave at last was nice.
Again though I really like the character Jessica Jones played by Krysten Ritter and despite the flaws with her show I'd really like to see her again. Same with Matt Murdoch, Frank Castle, Luke Cage and...Colleen Wing (star of Iron Fist!) These shows never lived up to their potential and it's frustrating, but the potential was huge and at times they transcended their flaws to become JJ season one or Daredeveil season 3 or cool corridor fight from The Defenders.
