The Bad: Not a Jessica Jones story

The character of Jessica Jones was good. Krysten Ritter continues to portray Jessica Jones very well. She captures her anger, drunken mess, and promiscuous behavior perfectly.

I think this comes from having too many directors with too many ideas about the story and not enough about the character herself.

Season 2 of Jessica Jones doesn’t seem to be a Jessica Jones story.  The show was more drawn out than it needed to be. Having much unnecessary moments just seemed like filler at times. This was a really good detective show, but not a great Jessica Jones story. But that is not a bad thing.
