Why would anyone ever watch this mess more than once?

Because a lot of people loved it and because you didn't like it doesn't mean it wasn't good or that you know more about movies or TV shows than anyone who did.

You complain that there is no action. It wasn't an action show and it wasn't advertised as such. It's a psychological thriller. Obviously if you expect action, you're gonna be disappointed. Because the Marvel logo is on the poster doesn't mean they need to make it an action show just to please the fans who want the same thing over and over again.

You say that there was no intrigue. You realize there was more of an intrigue than in DD, right? DD had no intrigue but was still a wonderful show. You knew what was going to happen all along, but I loved it anyway. Here, for once, we had a character who faced a real challenge that she couldn't solve with her fists. She had to use her brains. She couldn't just run after Killgrave, even if she wanted to kill him from the start. Anytime there is someone else around, he can just asks them to kill themselves and then JJ has more death on her conscience.

The JJ character was far from one dimensional. We learned a lot about her throughout the course of the series. But that's my opinion anyway.

The writers did not fail. You fail when you attempt something and you do not succeed. The did exactly what they wanted to, and were hired for, so how is that a fail? You just did not like it. Move on.

but does anyone ever wish to re-watch something like this ever again? Honestly?

What amazes me is the people who claim to have hated it so much, but still can't stop talking about it over a month after release.

When I hate something that doesn't really matter or continue to affect my life (like a movie, TV show, musical artist, etc), I don't spend weeks and weeks hate-bashing it...I move on with my life. I might make a snarky comment if it comes up, but I don't go out of my way to bitch about it. Life is too short to spend that much time on things you dislike.

I'd only watch it a 2nd time:
A) If I was watching it with someone who'd never seen it.
B) I was marathoning it before season 2.

...otherwise 1 viewing is more than enough. The acting isn't phenomenal, the action is pretty bad, and there's so much inconsistent stuff that more viewings would just be madening. Kind of like how I went from "wow that was pretty bad" to "dear lord this movie is THE WORST" after Dark Knight Rises repeats

its clear that there are a lot of morons who actually enjoy bad tv.

i somewhat enjoyed the season but i know i will never watch it again. never.

I'll never watch it again.

Once? You mean past the 2nd episode?
