First, just to clarify, I rated Season 1 as a 7. Season 2 would be more like a 5, as in ok at best...
Rather than reviewing the plot or the annoying, self loathing Jessica Jones character (who spends Season 2 constantly saying things like: "I am not a murder" and cursing her powers), here is are some actual quotes from Season 2. I think they represent Season 2 better than any review I could write on my own.
While reading these quotes, consider the steps that one assumes the dialogue went through before appearing in the show Step 1: The writer thought of the dialogue in their head Step 2: The writer considered the dialgoue worthy of being written down and submitted Step 3: The dialogue was read and approved by some sort of script supervisor Step 4: The actors read the script in practice, and then during filming, without anyone powerful enough to stop it objecting Step 5: The dialogue made the final cut after editing
So with that in mind, here we go... QUOTE 1 (A taxi driver tells a mother and daughter not to 'get their panties in a bunch' while driving) "We're grown women. We don't wear panties. We wear underwear."
Ok....
QUOTE 2 "You know that saying about having your cake and eating it too? Whoever said that probably didn't have cake that killed people."
Wow. Just wow. A middle schooler, with severe brain damage, could write something better than that. I'm not sure what else to say.
QUOTE 3 "Your father, he needed to be in charge like his (Dick Van Dyke) would fall off if he let me drive." "I sooo don't need to hear about my dead father's (Moby Dick)." "If I had been driving, we all would still be alive. It's a great role model for your daughter right? Shut up and sit shotgun."
Yeah. Those pesky, male chauvinists. Always refusing to let the superior women drivers take the wheel. How many more deaths will we have to endure? Stand up women everywhere! Take away the keys from your oppresive, overlord husbands. Lives are at stake. Good grief. Imagine a male character saying this after his wife gets in a car accident: "If only I had been driving, we all would still be alive." In poor taste? Sexist? Ridiculous? Yes, all of the above.
So there it is, Season 2 of Jessica Jones, in quotes. Enjoy.
