It is very heavy to watch, very gritty and rough. It is trying to show real problems which is good, but sometimes you want a bit of comedy or lightness to make viewing not a chore. That is the only fault it seems pretty good but a bit too dark.

I'm midway through episode 8. Loving it. Ritter is great as Jones. Not as good as DareDevil, but not far off. Netflix have done a brilliant job again.

Nicely shot and good music too. Well worth a watch. If only we could get rid of the superhero st, they could make some proper good movies. I know it's Marvel, but hey...

Just finished. Going to say the same thing I said about Daredevil, it's one of the best things Marvel have done. I was really drawn in and really cared what happened to the characters.

It's realy not like Daredevil, but that's not a bad thing. It's great in its own way and has its own identity. It's harrowing and edge-of-the-seat tense, with actual character development that you get when someone actually makes an effort with the writing. Jones takes anti-hero to a new height and the actress playing her does an amazing job. I want more already!

There's an unresolved storyline which I think will probably be picked up in Daredevil's next series, we'll have to see.

Watched 1 and 2 before Fargo was on. I like, its going down the dark road with a few things, and that's good.

Pretty sure they are also hinting at lining up a certain ex-Cop Vigilante to get his own series after he appears in season 2 of Daredevil wink

Loving Jessica Jones. Not usually a fan of Tennant but he puts in an outstanding performance here. Ritter herself is very good. I have to say Mike Colter (who I had never heard of) as Luke Cage... He is a machine! Really looking forward to his own show now.

Right can some marvel geeks fill me in on the universe please? There's been two references so far to a) Aliens and b) buildings falling down and the hulk.

I haven't a barry clue where this fits in with the marvel canon if that makes sense. This or DD.

Cheers!

yes that's exactly what it's hinting at.

Punisher is being played by John Bethnal (Shane from walking dead). The shaved head guy who appears to be cocking a shotgun in what looks like a hospital, and the voice 'BEG' is him.

The girl in the red mask... Electra.
