Jessica Jones

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

This show is dark.

About 20 minutes in (minor minor spoiler), I paused the show, and realized that was as light as the show was ever going to get when Jessica lifted up that dude's car and made the laser beam joke.

Right before we started watching this show:
My wife: I'm in the mood for something light and fun, I've heard Jessica Jones is good.

It really should have been about 8 episodes long. Maybe 9.

This won't be shocking considering the numbers, but a second season has been given the nod.

I'll not be watching the second season unless I hear they are treating white males better.

Truth. I legit was ready for things to be wrapped up at episode 8. I didn't realize there were 5 more...

They certainly didn't love them did they? Although it could easily be argues that Simpson wasn't evil, but a product of brainwashing.

But how dumb was his story line? Normal beat cop unable to kill a powerless woman to super powered assassin? Made no sense.

Jessica Jones herself was very unlikable.

This show is easily the worst of the Marvel Netflix shows.

Season 2 is out and I haven't watched it yet, but Netflix is blowing smoke up their own ass on Twitter about it. See, every episode was directed by a woman.

The responses they've gotten, aside from one batshit crazy liberal (check her Twitter) attacking everyone responding, are exactly what you'd expect when someone goes out of their way to publicly pat themselves on the back.

Look it up for some chuckles. (Look up the Twitter post, not the series.)

I heard it was unfocused and too long. Too long certainly applies to most of what they've done with Marvel properties lately.

Man hating gets ratings.

So I did watch Season 2. Ugh.

Do you like Super heroes? Do you like super heroes who are not actually that super? Do you like relationships more? Like, what if we did a super hero show, where she isn't that super, and just talked about her relationships? Fine, but which relationships? Oh, let's do, every, single, god-damned one of them.

Ugh.

The best episode was on that will just get me labeled as a woman hater.

Season 3 was dramatically better than the terrible season 2.
