my wife and i just finished season one of jessica jones. i mostly enjoyed it. david tennant as kilgrave was a casting masterstroke. the scenes that he and krysten ritter shared were absolutely electric. but the show suffered from an alarming lack of sparks in many of its other subplots and character relationships. overall, the show felt deeply padded, and it seemed to me that it very easily could have been tightened up to about 8 episodes total...
either that, or the creators could have treated the audience to a few "case of the week" type episodes to break up the traumatic storytelling a bit. JJ is a PI, after all. sadly, there was precious little detective work actually being done across the show's thirteen episodes. in fact, at one point somebody points out to jessica that being able to google a suspect doesn't exactly constitute quality investigative prowess...
as far as a second season goes, i'm having a hard time imagining an enjoyable version of the show given the way the first season ends (edited out spoilers)...

I don't disagree at all, in fact I also thought along the way that there should be much more PI work involved than what we were given. I also agree some of it could easily have been cut without detriment to the series. But no show is perfect. Overall I really liked the vibe they were going for and enjoyed the ride. I'm looking forward to how they grow the characters leading up to the Defenders.
The Walking Dead tonight! Read if you've the season 6 finale, not really a spoiler. I hid the text within this dummy text.

I'm kind of glad they ended season 6 like that, I didn't want to have to call in sick tomorrow because something happened to a good friend :lol: I was feeling so real world anxiousness like I had an interview the next day.

Fear The Walking Dead fills the void while TWD is on hiatus but I haven't really developed any affinity for any of the characters with the possible exception of Strand. My main fear is that this show will fall into being a mirror of the original instead of sticking a little longer with filling in the backstory of how society collapsed.
