Warning - Open spoilers for Seasons 1 and 2 of Jessica Jones (and possibly other Netflix Marvel show seasons previously released) Strange–I couldn’t seem to find a thread already … anyway … here goes! Season 1 of Jessica Jones is one of my absolute favorite shows, certainly my favorite superhero show so far. So devastating, so complete. After the flops that were Iron Fist, Defenders, and Punisher, I had somewhat lowered expectations for Season 2 of Jessica Jones. I just finished it, and my initial impression is – not as good as Season 1, but not bad. It did seem like a much more claustrophobic atmosphere for some reason … every character seemed very isolated. Almost like you could feel they were all on an empty set. I’m not sure how I feel about the appearance of Jessica’s mother. It somewhat dilutes the impact of her back story. And I’m not sure I entirely believed the Stockholm romance of Mom and Evil Scientist. One huge negative for me was the actor playing Patsy/Tricia Walker. She just seemed terrible, especially when she got all shouty. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong until it occurred to me–is it “trying really hard to maintain my fake American accent” syndrome? I looked her up, and yes–Australian! Ugh. Just did not work for me. Oh, and I missed not having Luke Cage and Nurse Claire in the story. Any other thoughts, comments, observations? ---

I started Defenders, took an instant dislike to Iron Fist, realized I needed to know more about the MNU, watched S2 of Daredevil, realized it was an extra-long pilot for Punisher, and gave up on the lot. I’ll give JJ S2 a shot, but I already have a depressed alky in my life. ---

Watching DD:S2 resulting in me not liking the Punisher. ---

Yeah, I really didn’t like _Daredevil_ Season 2 because of the Punisher focus. And _Punisher_ I found to be just dumb.
