I've watched the first 3 episodes and I. Am. Hooked!

David Tennant is so sinister and he has barely had any screen time yet.

Anyone else watching?

Disappointed. Formulaic. She's way too young to be believable. Yawn. Why are there SO few decent female- led dramas? Should clone The Good Wife!

LumpySpacedPrincess · 21/11/2015 19:57

We must be watching a different show Moving, each to their own.

It's getting some great reviews.

Yes i saw the review. Which is why am disappointed.

DH is watching on Netflicks, he tends to 'binge watch' series.
He likes it but I reckon there's more interest for him regarding the sassy female character Wink

strawberrypenguin · 21/11/2015 21:49

Just watched the first episode - very good so far!

Bea · 22/11/2015 08:50

It's really good but so so so bleak!! Watched two episodes so far! Can't binge watch! I need a break!
DT is a horrible villain! (yes! And he hasn't even turned up properly yet!!)
I loved daredevil! That was gritty and dark but not soooo bleak! And I binged on that couldn't wait for the next ep! Prefer that!
But yes! JJ is good! But needs a little light! It's a little too grim!

LumpySpacedPrincess · 22/11/2015 11:17

He's horrible isn't he, so menacing. I'm still on episode 3, just waiting for dh to catch up.

Just onto episode 2. It's a bit dark. I'm going to stick it hot but seems a bit too tense and grim. I find the killgrave stuff really disturbing.

Porcupinepantaloons · 24/11/2015 17:32

I'm loving it! And I don't think she's too young - the actress is mid 30s like me.
And if I'd lost my parents and gained super powers in an accident and then been mind controlled by super mega creepy DT then id be as messed up as her!

LumpySpacedPrincess · 24/11/2015 17:48

I think she is great in the role, really believable.

I've had three different people say that I look like David Tennant and I was really proud of it until I've seen him play a baddie on Jessica Jones, he's genuinely scary

Ughnotagain · 24/11/2015 22:35

I really like it. DH doesn't. I've only seen 2 episodes so far tho!

MsBrigit · 25/11/2015 12:22

Absolutely LOVING it. I love her. Been dreaming about it. Obsessed! (In a good way.) Grin

MovemberSucks · 25/11/2015 12:35

Is it on TV or just Netflix? I like dark and creepy shows.

MsBrigit · 25/11/2015 12:52

It's exclusive to Netflix, but you get a free month subscription and it's only 13 50-minute episodes so you could watch it for free ...

ItMustBeBedtimeSurely · 25/11/2015 12:58

Why is she too young? She's early thirties isn't she?

SerenityReynolds · 25/11/2015 18:23

We're 3 episodes in and really enjoying it. The lead actress is great and I like how they're kind of drip feeding what she can do and how. David Tennant's character is really chilling! DH is very into all things comic-book but I actually knew almost next to nothing about Jessica Jones. Luke Cage is going to have his own series on Netflix next year (fans self), and then they're doing "The Defenders" series which will be Luke, Jessica and Daredevil (plus another superhero Iron Fist). I think at least Daredevil has also been confirmed in the next Avengers film too.

Marvel are doing quite a cracking job of creating their universe with continuity across lots of media (certainly much better than DC).

SawdustInMyHair · 29/11/2015 20:36

I'm on the 6th episode of a second watch Grin

So, so good. I love the way it deals with violence/control against women without making it look sexy as TV often does.

Tennant is brilliant at being this volatile, controlling man who's trying to come off cool and sophisticated. Even gets some classic #notallmen stuff in there (he's always telling women to smile). All the characters are complex and interesting, including the women.

I loved the Daredevil series too, but I didn't sit and rewatch that immediately after finishing it!

BeyondThirty · 02/12/2015 12:29

Watched the whole thing last weekend, i bloody loved it. Wont say much though, dont want to inadvertently post spoilers!! Grin

Porcupinepantaloons · 03/12/2015 15:16

Finished it last night. It was fantastic! Grin

Was rather brutal/ grim at times but excellent! Can't wait for the next thjng from marvel! (Think it's Agebt Carter in Jan)

HotterWok · 04/12/2015 17:41

Could you watch the death by one thousand cuts without wincing?

FlameProofBoots · 04/12/2015 17:44

I loved it! So good to see a show where the women go about their business wearing appropriate clothes and shoes while the men are mainly eye candy (or baddies). I've let 13yo ds1 watch it as well because I think it's so well done.

Loved the fact Jeri Hogarth was a man in the comics and they've written her exactly the same. Really good stuff for women imo.

JarethTheGoblinKing · 04/12/2015 17:45

I was surprised by it, found it very sinister and thought Tennant was excellent. Compelling TV Wink

OneofTHOSEWomen · 04/12/2015 21:01

She could really do with a 🍔🍟🌭🍕🍰🍫🍪

Pooseyfrumpture · 04/12/2015 21:05

10 episodes down now. Had to hide behind a cushion for most of the 1000 cuts ep.

Also, the policeman is really irritating me. Simply because his head is too big. It's huge. And his character is basically Riley from Buffy and he should look more like Riley. With a smaller head.
