Sep. 16th, 2018 09:42 pmJust finished binge-watching Jessica Jones. [Felt awful this morning, allergies were beating me up and low energy, so chose to stay in and nurse myself a bit before going back to work tomorrow. Tough and busy work week ahead. Also it's only 12-13 episodes. Started Saturday Night.]
It's good, but takes a while to get into. Also, some interesting choices in regards to villains. I decided to give it another try because I read about what the writers chose to do with Trish's arc and how she'd become the villain or Big Bad of the season.
Her arc is fascinating, and how it relates to Jessica's is as well. In fact the second season is worth watching for that alone. It's all about screwed up female relationships, and mother/daughter relationships and people manipulate each other.
And the story twists on itself. The people on the outs at the beginning of the season are together at the end, while the one's who had been together at the beginning are on the outs at the end.
My one quibble...it how deconstructs Trish/Jessica's relationship, and makes it unhealthy. What I'd previously liked about the series were the strong female friendships and relationships, which are not in evidence at the end of it.
( Spoilers )
Next up? Luke Cage. I've heard that Iron Fist, surprisingly enough, is excellent this season. The best of the bunch. But, mileage varies...so will wait and see, if I agree.
