AKA I Want Your Cray Cray

[bobcobb301 · 8/10 · 16 March 2018]

They did a good job casting Jessica's mother, because I truly cannot stand her and could not root for her in her story. Loved going back to real time in the last moment with Jessica knocking her out.

A quality episode here. This show has needed something big to happen and it turns out a flashback episode was what we needed.

Seeing Jessica actually show emotion and not be her usual tough self for a period of time was good to see too.

The best of the season to this point.

Hi, Mom!

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 2 August 2019]

I appreciated this episode because it touches on several events in Jessica's past. She is naive and dangerous at the same time, not knowing her own strength. With the appearance of her mother, we get a glimpse at their past after the car accident. We also get more stuff about what went on with Trish and her mother and the sad story they present. It's also necessary to know that Jessica hooked up with a guy who would have sold her out at any time.

A real surprise

An episode I really wasn't looking forward to as generally I hate flashbacks because they're often used for padding and end up a waste of time. Not so here. A great little back story contextualising the villain of the season and adding humanity to the bones of its characters. A real surprise.

Flash-back

I loved this episode and how it fills in some gaps in the story and the characters and why they are who they are.

The Great Ambiguous Mystery

[RL-08885 · 9/10 · 28 February 2022]

Was Jessica's love interest (Sterling) a con who was taking advantage of her? Or did he truly care about her?

This episode is really great as it presents an unanswerable mystery to the viewer of whether Sterling is really who he say he is.

The guy meets her in a bar has a flirtatious interaction; meets her again outside the bar when she has a disagreement with her sister who is incredibly famous and rich. She breaks the cash machine during the disagreement and is holding lots of cash in her hands as her sister leaves in a limo and the guy is standing right behind it holding a drink and offers her. While they kiss he tries to guess her middle name and sneakily reaches into her back pocket to see her ID.

He asks her to go meet Trish and starts to present his business idea for new bar in hopes of getting some investment from her. When Jessica displays her displeasure about that he tries to shoot her down asking if she doesn't believe in him and his plans.

He deals with some shady people from whom he has taken money and when they try to beat him, Jessica saves him. When they find him again this time without Jessica he accepts the offer using Jessica as muscle and asks for some percentage in return. When her mother Alisa tries to confront him, he denies saying he was trying to get them off his back.

The character seems very purposefully stereotypical - charming bad boy involved in shady stuff. It really felt like a commentary on why you should be more careful of people like these. Its seems cliche at this point that a death of a loved one becomes a part of a person's (hero's) identity but they do enough to make you wonder whether what they believe is really true.

Flashback episode with no real twists

[pelegosto264 · 3/10 · 25 March 2018]

After several episodes that never match the greatness of the first season, this episode is a flashback of teenager Jessica and the healing of her mother. In this episode a boyfriend of Jessica is introduced, besides that there is nothing new in the whole episode. Everything you see has been told before. Little bit more in depth but bored me so much that I am not even sure this show is worth watching anymore. Clearly we mis the big bad of season one, Killgrave....
