Sorely disappointed in this series..

Like Cage could be very interesting.
I'm so in the dark about it.
I knew DD was based on Frank Miller and JJ on Brian Bendis but Cage?
I do like the talent they have assembled.

Not necessarily. After 4 episodes I only forced myself to watch the rest of it as a bridge between seasons of Daredevil since it was made as such (in the way the movies were fro each other). I suspect a lot of people did it for the same reasons. Which means the numbers for it are higher than they would have been if it had been a standalone series, or had Daredevil been a miserable failure. So it's not the success it's being portrayed as. That's not to say it wasn't successful, just that it's inflated to some degree.

As to the series, I really hated it. It can be best summed up as

A bunch of miserable people being so miserable it's miserable to watch.

Yes, some are entertained by that. I'm not one of them. Unless I hear a lot of people enjoy the 2nd season of it for very different reasons, I'm skipping it. It'll be the 1st MCU anything I'll pass on (unless something else lousy comes up before then as JJ has now lowered the I'll put up with this since MCU stuff pays off by the end), but i'm not enduring that again.

"true Marvel fan" that's HILARIOUS. Was there a test? Did Stan Lee anoint you with the golden pen of Jack Kirby?

You loved Daredevil? Great! You didn't like this? Shame, but that's understandable. They are very different shows after all. It would be dull as crap if they had the same themes and directions but with just different cast. No-one is going to like everything - do you like every comic that Marvel puts out every week?

No need to post in a bunch of different threads that you don't like it, once is enough to get the message across.

It's hot... but not as hot as the night Johnny Viti got married...

I can't stand how it has to follow this lazy new Avengers trend where every super hero only seems to get interesting if they don't keep a secret identity and they must have their powers revealed. It's just become so cliche and so boring. Its like the cop out and easy way to write a comic. If you can't manage to write the complexities of keeping 2 identities and keeping things secret you just say FVVVCCCK it lets just not deal with that. The whole fun of the classic heroes like SUperman and Batman and Spiderman is seeing how they manage regular lives and they actually try to protect their love ones and families.

I guess the writers for Jessica Jones are too lazy to worry about that. Maybe this new generation they are too self absorbed and too SELFIE crazed they can't be bothered to worry about other people around them, they can't expend energy to protect others and when innocent people died because of their own selfishness and laziness it's perfectly ok!!!

This show was disappointing - the script was terrible and the two female leads (Jessica & trish) gave awful cheesy performances.

It's all too evident that the scriptwriter needs firing in order to save this show - season 1 was rubbish. Daredevil was the same - both need a bit more grit! Come on Marvel, man up!!!

A few days later now and I can honestly say my 4/10 stands. What is is with some U.S production and comics - Constantine waas woeful and could/should have been brilliant, so should this and daredevil but, unfrtunately, they were rubbish - I think I could've done a better job of Jessica Jones (haha, that will infuriate so many people!!!)

Honestly, some of the cinematography was utterly abysmal - and Jessica was so wooden - I feel like I could list problems with it all day and all night.... It was so cheesy in places it made me cringe!!!

Really wanted to like - really annoyed i couldn't - Very VERY disappointing -

i understand this is simply my opinion - you have yours, I'm sharing mine! Healthy for debate yeah..

Never understood why people get angry when other people don't like their shows? TV is like every other form of entertainment--it's subjective. To each their own.

Personally, I thought this show was nothing special. I really enjoyed Kilgrave as a character, for me he was hands down the best actor and the most interesting character in the series. Without him though, I won't be coming back to watch, unfortunately. I will comment on something that Derrick said though, about "learning who Jessica Jones is before watching." Thing is, people shouldn't have to research a character in order to connect with him or her. Straight away I felt there was a problem with the writing because of this disconnect, and I like the comics! Series though, was underwhelming for me and I think David Tennant and Carrie Moss were the highlights of the series talent. As I said though, and as William Shatner famously said: "For crying out loud people, it's just a TV show!" :)
