Hello readers,
I am back with a review on the latest Marvel's Jessica Jones. I just watched nine episodes of the series and I can really say it is awesome. The series starred Krysten Ritter as the titular character suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after an incident which made her retired from being a superhero. Now, Jessica is a private investigator and owns her office, Alias Investigations.
The series also starred some other actors including Mike Colter as Luke Cage, who will have his own series next year and David Tennant as Kilgrave, also known as The Purple Man. Both Krysten and David have since been receiving widespread praise for their portrayal of the characters. I like how the series started off with an opening sequence that is gritty, mysterious and feels like another Pink Panther opening, roaring with a jazz-electric theme music.
If one is expecting the series to be something like Daredevil, Jessica Jones offered another way of being a hero. Jessica is just a woman who simply takes on cases which allows her to just get her pay and get though daily life. She is also a victim like any other people in the cases she took. Despite no longer being a superhero on headline or whatsoever, Jessica still continues to do what she is good at. Stalking and spying for people who paid her. On the other hand, her enemy, Kilgrave is a man who is the cause of her, no longer feeling like a hero. He played Jessica and is always haunting her.
Jessica Jones is also a series which deals numerous cases on people whose lives were heavily impacted by Kilgrave. Similar like former alcoholics going for Anonymous group meeting, the characters also have their own meeting where everyone talks about their experience with Kilgrave. Kilgrave dominates the whole series and so it isn't difficult if you are watching the episodes. The chemistry or I would say relationship between Jessica and Kilgrave is what made the whole series interesting. Funny how the Kilgrave still interacted with Jessica, despite what she done to him. It is like how one can't live without another.
I would recommend Jessica Jones to anyone like myself that watches Daredevil or someone who feels they lack of something. Besides Jessica isn't just a hero, she also acts as a symbol for people who share the ideologies and beliefs like her: just living normally and yet still putting good use on abilities on a mudane task.
Ratings: 8/10
P.S. Kilgrave is sometimes scary and funny. #KilgraveMadeMeDoIt
