In New York City, Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) is a troubled private eye with superhuman strength. She drinks to cope with the PTSD from her rape. She is horrified when her tormentor Kilgrave (David Tennant) returns. Her lifelong best friend is her equally troubled adoptive sister Trish Walker (Rachael Taylor) who struggles with drug addiction and her controlling mother as a former child star. Malcolm Ducasse is a recovering neighbor who gets involved with Jessica's work. Jeri Hogarth (Carrie-Anne Moss) is a driven lawyer with her own agenda. Jessica reconnects with her birth mother Alisa (Janet McTeer) in the second season. In the third season, Trish gains her own powers as the ladies battle a serial killer.
The first season is one of the most compelling story in comic book TV. Ritter is great and Tennant really shines as the villain. Jessica Jones is a compelling protagonist and Kilgrave is such a scary antagonist. It is right there next to Daredevil season one. The second season has Jessica dealing with some mommy issues. McTeer is great veteran actress. I really like their chemistry. I'm not sure I like the Trish story and I can skip the Hogarth story. Hogarth needs to stay as a side character. The second season has a good main course with some rather average side dishes. The third season has Jessica and Trish battling a serial killer. The Trish story needs a different catalyst. The return of Kilgrave does nothing. He's only an echo and a reminder of a superior season. The show is canceled along with its Marflix brothers with the introduction of Disney streaming.
