a5c7b9f00b Ever since her short-lived stinta superhero ended in tragedy, Jessica Jones has been rebuilding her personal life and careera hot-tempered, sardonic private detective in Hell&#39;s Kitchen, New York City. Plagued by self-loathing and a wicked case of PTSD, Jessica battles demons from within and without, using her extraordinary abilitiesan unlikely champion for those in need… especially if they&#39;re willing to cut her a check. Following the tragic end of her brief superhero career, Jessica Jones tries to rebuild her lifea private investigator, dealing with cases involving people with remarkable abilities in New York City. Series 1. Brilliant acting and a wonderful, terrifying plot. Great female character. <br/><br/>But series 2 is a disaster. They&#39;ve wildly overdone the feminist bit. The media is now over plugged into this and we&#39;ve seen/heard all this feminist stuff - we&#39;ve got the message ok!!<br/><br/>The result is that they&#39;ve tried so hard with the female bit that they&#39;ve forgotten to have a meaningful interesting plot for female and male watchers.<br/><br/>Watched two episodes and binned it. Shame Jessica Jones is what happens when you strip off a superhero&#39;s spandex and explosions. Taking away the flash of Hollywood block-busters puts a great burden on both the plot and actors, and Jessica Jones excels in both.<br/><br/>The series is a must-see for anyone who likes a good thriller. Rather than using superpowers or alien gadgets, the main character&#39;s search for the villain is good old-fashioned PI work. The superpower that has the most relevance to the plot, mind-control of the wonderfully evil villain Kilgrave played by David Tennant, is not used in a quest to destroy the world but rather to pose difficult ethical questions: What would you do if you had the ultimate power? Who can be redeemed?<br/><br/>13 episodes leaves no time for fillers, keeping the plot moving fast. The cinematography is also great.
