Jessica Jones | Season 2 on Netflix | 3/8/18 (Spoiler-free discussion)

- Start date
Got through 3 eps yesterday. So far it's what I expected
Ep 1 had 1 really bad thing
Wasn't expecting
Also little worrying that so far
drunk Jess, worried Trish, and helpful Malcolm.
those effects to make Whizzer whiz, just wow
Nuke to die in his 1st ep.
far a main bad guy hasn't really shown up unless it's the Dr with strength ability, and if so... super downgrade from Killgrave.
I think I just have problems with Jessica as a character, maybe it's the excessive drinking, don't think I can watch a first half with that again, people saying it gets better at episode 5? I may just skip ahead to that.
Im in deep on Ep7 and its good
This is definitely a slow burn but im enjoying it
Ok there is one silly scene though

I just wish the show was more episodic and had Jess just tackle cases. She's a joy to watch interact with clients, but its always as filler in between "main antagonist" shit that is much less interesting.
I'm a few episodes in and...no. it has all the same problems, to the extent that I wished the show was structured differently. This season feels like a retread in a lot of ways, and what they do differently is not as engaging as ehat they replaced.
Yeah they did. JJ mentioned it getting in the way of her personal life in the first episode. It wasnt super important or anything, but it was a reference to her acting as a "super vigilantly."
The acting is very bad coupled with terrible fucking writing for example
"After me? Every loser out there with a dick"
So much cringe right there. Honestly idk even know wtf is happening most of the time nor is there a central antagonist..til later in the 2nd half of the show..i thought Iron Fist was bad but JJ season 2 takes the cake so far.

It's such a shame, because there's a lot of potential. But yeah, since Iron Fist stank up the joint it's been in free fall.
Edit - does Rosario Dawson turn up in this season?

I don't get the dislike of this season personally. The first episode was kind of so-so and there's been some weak points but overall I'm loving this season a lot.
Finished the season.
Overall, very unimpressed with this season. The situation with Kilgrave carried the first season so I was a bit concerned with how this season would turn out, but I went in with an open mind and still came out disappointed. This really won't stop me from watching the next season regardless, but I hate pretty much every character but Malcolm now. Also that exchange with Jessica and Malcolm before he got fired again/quit really irritated me. She basically called him a manwhore, when she had the exact same behavior earlier on. "Nice ass." "What did you say?" "I said nice ass." *Bathroom stall fucking here*
Double standards, man. And everyone is an asshole this season! Malcolm was getting fucked over so much and Trish did some REAL dumb shit. Like wow, she was super annoying this season.

The Punisher elevated DD S2, so I was really looking forward to his own show happening. Unfortunately I ran out of patience after enduring Iron Fist and Defenders. Maybe i'll go back and watch if I can face it after JJ.
So, without spoiling the end of the season (I think I'm halfway through), can someone who's finished it tell me if any of these characters ever do anything or become even remotely close to likeable? It feels like the whole show is just populated by total assholes. Malcolm is the closest to a believable human at this point.
As I said in my spoiler, pretty much no. Nobody is likeable except Malcolm to me.
8 episodes in and i sort of like it, but sort of recognise that this marvel netflix thing is running on empty
the show has the same problems as its peers... too much brooding, angst, and edge. oh, and of course, everyone is 'broken'. it's getting familiar, and it's getting old
has anyone at netflix seen homecoming??? we have a superhero who thinks it's 'cool' to be a superhero and fully embraces it with (for the viewer) fantastic results
lighten' up a bit hells kitchen... at least for one hero in one show
please

I'm on Episode 5. Krysten Ritter is great as Jessica Jones, so I'll keep watching. But yeah, I really don't care about the other characters. They make it hard to get through this season.

Do yourself a favor and check it out
There are some problems with terrible side characters and slow pacing, but Bernthal is a force of nature and the action is as brutal as it'll ever get under the Marvel umbrella
Much like every season outside of JJ S1 and LC S1, it is not good
Such a disappointment. I'm watching Trish and Malcolm argue and it's like...Malcolm is the only character in this show who acts like a person who reacts to things. Everyone else just feels like they were written to be maximum angry all the time.
The first half of Luke Cage S1 was so damn good. Just like every other Netflix Marvel show, though, episode 7 seems to be the point where the meat spoils. If the season ended there, it would've been nearly perfect.
At least this season seems like a mess from minute one so there's no massive quality downdrop in the second half like the other shows...
Yeah i was enjoying it up till ep8 but thats with a bit of skimming
There are just a lot of throwaway scenes and filler. Are they still under contract cuz If I was Netflix and Marvel I would rethink the entire format, budget, and talent aquisition for Netflix marvel
I still plan on finishing it but its getting harder

Seems like those who enjoyed season 1 are dissapointed with this so for a person who thought s1 was average af, I should probably avoid this eh? I actually disliked most of them, jones, luke, iron fist( his character but the story was interesting) and barely liked The Defenders mostly because Daredevil carried the entire show tbh. I'm going through the Punisher but it also drags way too much. Netflix Marvel peaked with Daredevil and it just stopped peaking there. Oh well..
Just finished the season
Big drop-off from season 1 for me. But I think that has to do with the lack of an interesting antagonist. Nothing this season lives up to the threat of Kilgrave & it felt like they kept spinning their tires with the mother story. Also, to echo some previous statements; this season is a collection of entirely unlikable characters. Malcolm is the only person even remotely likable. Jessica was so stubborn & had tunnel-vision about nearly everything this season to the point it got ridiculous. I was almost annoyed she got a semblance of a happy ending because after everything it didn't feel like she earned it.
I don't know. I didn't hate it & I found it better than The Defenders & Iron Fist. But, after finding the first season to be the best of the Netflix Marvel shows; it was a disappointing drop off. Aside from Episode 7(Jessica felt like a real person here) & Episode 11 (because of Kilgrave), nothing stood out as being memorable or exciting.[/spoilers]

I did, and I didn't like it. The antagonists were uninteresting.
War Zone >>>>>>> Netflix S1
One thing I'm wondering: does this have any nightmare fuel stuff like season 1 did? There was some really disturbing fridge horror in season 1.
On like episode 6 and it's ok. Missing that Tennant factor.
But the show needs better editors or directors. I keep seeing instances of cuts to actors standing at their first positions, before they start moving. Catching background extras doing the same thing as well. I'm not one to ever pay attention to those sort of things, but I keep seeing this happen.

So this is the image issue I'm seeing on my OLED with Jessica Jones series 2 in 4k HDR.
Look at the gridlines. The picture noise is in perfect squares like maths paper. Only happens on this show. All other HDR content is fine. Any ideas?

Ah...reminds me of the days of RCA cables!
The second half was kind of puttering about with the sole intention of making Jessica more miserable I guess? Then again, these Netflix shows really need to drop the habit of wrapping things up by Episode 5-6 and having the latter half just kind of peter out.
Finally made it through the whole season...T'was so dull and pointless. Rather disappointing considering the first season is my favorite out of the Netflix Marvel shows.
I'm just thankful second season of Sneaky Pete came out today.
