54_and_counting Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Doubt you have to watch anything other than season 1 of JJ, think netflix/marvel/disney try not to link them all too much to the point you have to watch them all as that can put new viewers off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched them all, I'd say no. There may be the occasional reference that will mean nothing to you, but I wouldn't say it's vital to have watched the in between series 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed Jessica Jones but haven't bothered with Iron Fist, Defenders or Punisher. Will just go ahead with season 2 then! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Episode one dragged in, we get it that she's a jakey mess. Move on a bit now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killieshire Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I'm up to episode 6 now and quite enjoying it. Not as good as season 1 but given that it had an excellent villain plus the whole subtext it was always to struggle in comparison. Nice little twist as well so going to be interested to see where they take it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Finished it, the proverbial game of two halves, started strongly, faded like f**k, end up it was pretty disappointing and i mean iron fist disappointing Too many sub plots that meant the main plot didnt get enough writers attention, so much more could have been made of the main story but they got lazy imo Shame, JJ has potential especially with her "sister" and stuff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I seen some complaints that a strong villain was needed, but I don't think that was the case. It did need a bit more of a focused main plot though. Too much shit going on and the whole thing turned out to be a total mess. Some stuff was interesting. The Trish character arc is probably the best thing on it, and Hogarth's arc is great as well. Couldn't give a shit about her mum though and Malcolm was a lot of nothing for the most part, even if he did become more interesting towards the end.

I don't know much outside of the on screen stuff, but aye, I did wind up looking for some info on that character. At the end of the season I was way too intrigued by her to resist, so I know more about her than I do about most. Thought she was outstanding, and the stuff with her mum only adds to that. Worth noting it was Jessica's mum I didn't give a shit about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah trish turned out to be quite a good story plot, pity they didn't expand on that, suppose it sets up for season 3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 They really did make a mistake killing off Kilgrave in the first season, even the small amount time him and Jones were together it was excellent.However I sill enjoyed it, I will agree that I couldn’t give a flying one about her maw. Hated that Cheng character and all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Cheng seems like a character with potential at least. I liked him. They just didn't do nearly enough with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Netflix would've been better concentrating their resources on one or two marvel shows rather than making five mostly bland shows. Season one of Jessica Jones was carried by kilgrave, really struggling to get in to this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 They really should start mixing up the season lengths on the Marvel TV Shows. Knowing this was going to be 13 episodes made it feel like a grind. It'd be a real advantage from a story telling point of view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 On episode 4 and I'm not getting into it at all yet. As others have said it misses the threat of Kilgrave and the focus that gave series 1. Also, there's no point to the Malcolm character at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I think the problem (having watched about 5 or 6 so far) is that the focus seems to be more on the peripheral characters rather than Jessica, or anyone interesting. Far too much Trish / Malcolm / Lawyer woman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Just finished season 2. It was decent but nowhere near as good as the first one. It wasnt bad by any means though I think my main issue was that there was no point during the entire series where Jessica was in any danger or perilous situation where you thought "oh, how is she going to get out of that". A lot of it was all a bit predictable too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
