I have very much enjoyed the first 7 episodes of JJ.
So many strong female roles, interesting, without condescension.
However, in this episode, JJ is presented with very uncomfortable choices, and unlikely "coincidences" (nasty manipulation of the audience by the writers) make the tone quite nauseating, actually.
We do find out more of JJ's past, her inner pain, and her unsuccessful attempts to cope with her "responsibility" (not her responsibility ... in my rarely humble opinion ...)
Kilgrave is just as slimy as always, but at least he was directly slimy in previous episodes.
If #9 is in the same vein, I will be forced to drop an otherwise very promising series.
Ugh.
