Customer Ratings & Reviews

The season dragged a bit in the middle but still very solid.

Female Private Eye with a twist. Action packed mystery.

but it is canon just glad its on BLU #physicalmedia4ever

heard it was good didnt watch it yet. heard it was different. go with it and it will play out.

This new series is disappointing due to its context. I will not invest in season two.

One of four of the Netflix character series of new heroes from Marvel.

While low-profile superhero-turned-private detective Jessica Jones (as well as Daredevil, Luke Cage, and the Punisher) inhabit the same universe as the big screen superheroes made popular in the Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, Dr. Strange et al films, the gulf that separates the lives of the famous heroes from those of Jessica's neighborhood (a bleaker, seedier underbelly) is comparable to that which separates Doctor Who from its Torchwood spin-off. (I watched this series after seeing the second Guardians of the Galaxy film, and found myself unable to believe that the wonders of that film shared the same universe.) A PTSD afflicted survivor of a trauma which unfolds over the course of the season, Jessica's investigative work is less likely to get the praise and parades associated with the deeds of the Avengers (who saved the world from aliens), and more likely to be the target of scorn by those who hired her, who don't always like what her investigations turn up. A world of overdue rent, angry clients trashing her office, noisy (and nosy) neighbors, etc. is the focus of attention in this neighborhood, where atrocities inflicted indirectly by a super-powered predator engaging in mind control over hapless victims is less likely to be believed than the tangible, larger-than-life acts of big screen villains which the public can see (and more likely to result in public scorn and vilification of the manipulated victims), and the earth-shaking upheavals seen in New York City in The Avengers have made the lives of those living underfoot in this neighborhood about as pleasant as the lives of those affected in real-life war zones, or at Ground Zero on 9/11, with all of the casualties that are implied. This series deserves the praise it has received, to date, and I would strongly urge purchase of this DVD. If you can handle a series where saving the day--albeit often at a depressing cost--may or may not guarantee gratitude, or comes too late for some, this is a drama for you.

The second set of Marvel shows that brings together The Defenders on Netflix! I'll be honest, as much as I had always liked reading Marvel comics and watching the cartoons growing up, I had never heard of Jessica Jones. However, seeing how good the first season of Daredevil was on Netflix, I was optimistic about this one. Truly a great show about a superhero who lost her way due to the most scary villain in a Marvel show or even movie yet, Kilgrave! Don't want to give too much away but it's one of those superhero shows that's just very different than any other out there right now and excited for the second season. If you have Netflix, check it out, if not, blind buy it!

A great show that I knew nothing about going in, my only hope is that there is a Blu Ray since I converted all of my Marvel properties to Blu Rays
