Everyone did the best they could. The performances are great and every actor here is in their best shape. The pilot episode is one of my favorites, even though it had no action.. I understand SOME of the negative reviews. What I cant accept is saying the acting is bad, cuz clearly it is captivating.
Yes, it would be good to see the raw action Daredevil has and Jessica Jones truly lacks, but there's enough of it, trust me. The 2 or 3 fight scenes at the last episodes seemed like a Tarantino movie.
All those idiots that rate it 2 or 3 clearly don't get it. Some said they couldn't feel sympathy for Jessica because she drinks and wears the same clothes everyday, really? Id like to see how would you be after 8 months of mental and physical abuse. Others said Jessica is not the female Daredevil and generally that the show is no Daredevil. Well, let me tell you. I think thats what the makers aimed for.. I mean, Daredevil is great but its a whole other show. If you expected the kickass scenes from Daredevil, you're a moron.
Jessica Jones is not a superhero, shes not even close to being a vigilante.. Shes a private eye, not much fighting in that area.. And if you've read the amazing Alias, my favorite comic series, then you know that she didn't usually fight people. Shes really strong and a punch is enough..
What I didn't like is the fact that every episode had to do with Kilgrave and it was tiring. Jessica had other business too in the comics.. I would also prefer more flashbacks and stuff from when she was happy, pro-Kilgrave, because those scenes were hilarious and they represented everything Jessica is about. I also have to mention, if you've read Alias first, then I suppose you know how good Krysten Ritter was, I mean every time she made a joke or screamed or was rude to someone, I felt that thats how I pictured it while reading the comic. Also, I loved Malcom, even though his part in Alias was different, and I liked him better as an addict, before he got clean. But one other thing about the comic is that we saw captain America and Ms. Marvel and Ant-Man and all the Avengers so the fact that they couldn't do such a thing in the show makes it less than the comic and its obvious, even though understandable.
So, is the show good? Its great. Daredevil was a little better though, so it deserves the 8.8 it currently has here, just a step from Daredevil. But if the show falls more, because it had a 9 rating at first, its not fair and it would not deserve it because of idiots that had no idea what they were about to get on November 20th. And even the negative reviewers gave it a 2, not 1, but 2! Only Kilgrave could make them rate it 1 because they know the show is better than they gave it.
