Marvel's Jessica Jones, first half review: 'David Tenant's Kilgrave could be the best on-screen comic book villain since Heath Ledger's Joker'
Quote:
It will be interesting to see where Jessica Jones goes from episode seven's finale, a point at which the story takes a disastrous turn. Not only have these episodes been brilliant, but if the series continues on the same upward projection, this could be the best thing Marvel Studios has ever produced. Come November 20th, I will be binge watching this till the very end
a first of its kind for any Marvel project in both movies and TV. Now, given the show’s success, many are wondering if lightning can strike twice with a far lesser known character in the form of the soo- to-be-released Jessica Jones. Thankfully, based on the first seven episodes, the answer is a resounding yes.
And that’s the pilot of Jessica Jones: a menagerie of disturbing thoughts, sex, violence, and a splash of comic relief, with plenty of darkness but even more heart. The episode will absolutely make you want to watch more – though you may have to take a moment before you can. The setup is all there, and even some of the payoff, too, to convince you that you’re in for another wild ride. With Jessica as your tour guide into a new corner of the Marvel Universe, things are going to get scary.
