I knew what was going to be behind there and it was disturbing as hell. This is the :gonk:iest show I've ever seen

I think I share a lot of similarities with Jessica and I can't work out if that's a good or a bad thing.

This is pretty loving bleak. I feel like my whole day is diving into misery and pain and despair.

Oh well, onto the next episode!

I feel like I've spent the whole day having my chest kicked in.

I'm not sure exactly how I feel about this show yet. I'm not sure love is the right word, I don't know if you can love something that causes so much visceral disgust and horror. At the same time it's one of the most emotionally powerful pieces of television I've seen in a long, long time. The obvious comparison to make is with Daredevil but even there I don't know how to match them. Daredevil was better crafted for sure and there's no one moment in Jessica Jones to match the strength of Nelson vs. Murdock but overall Jessica Jones gave me a much stronger reaction that I imagine will stick with me longer. It was fantastic, it was gutwrenching and I don't think I ever want to rewatch it.

I'm amazed at how much of a downbeat ending that was. I expected after all that we'd at least get the catharsis of everyone finishing up happy but even with Kilgrave dead Jess still hates herself, Luke's hosed off to his own show, Trish's mum is still a horrible bitch and Trish is nosing around in secrets that will inevitably ruin her life somehow.

I think what is so disturbing about the show is the sheer banality of the horror of Kilgrave's mind control. After the first few episodes it seems you can't go more than ten minutes without seeing another example of how Kilgrave has completely hosed up somebody's life. Kilgrave doesn't think about the consequences of controlling someone but the show does and explores them to the full extent. I'm talking about moments like the dad being charged with child abandonment or the image of a room of scientists working while they poo poo themselves or Trish still trying to shove a bullet through her forehead. And then there's Tennant's casual performance, he makes people do incredibly horrific things with as much thought as ordering food at a restaurant and all of this poo poo just keeps on going. The show doesn't let up once until the end, it's rough as hell to go through.

It was Daredevil except not as good and written by Joss Whedon disciples and a Dexter writer.

Someone casually says "Big Bads".

Daredevil was literally created and showrun by two former Joss-show writers.

Yeah right from the start Simpson was mansplaining about how Jessica/Trish couldn't possibly fight Kilgrave without him and was insisting they needed his protection. Simpson's arc is one of the most amazing deconstructions of patriarchal thinking going, especially cause it shows how those same attitudes are just as destructive for men as for women.

Since when the gently caress does it not?

Please explain how seeing Krysten Ritter's boobs would add anything to the plot or themes of the show.

Yes, but they'd be April and June/July premieres, respectively, if they go by the same timetable as DD S1 and JJ. So In theory, there's room for a third show later next year, though it's by no means a sure thing.

JJ premiered last month though :confused:

GRRM was such a quick and efficient writer before the show started, it was probably all HBOs fault he'll never publish anything again and not his own massive ego or the fact that his had to turn his trilogy into a seven book monstrosity that will be half the size of the library of congress if it was ever finished.

His efficiency slowed down 10 years before the show started after ASOS
