Marvel Cinematic Universe: Every 2018 Project Ranked Worst To Best

10. Jessica Jones: Season 2

Back in 2015, the first season of Jessica Jones arrived to solid acclaim, shining as one of the MCU's brightest spots of the year thanks to a great story, a sense it was bringing something new to the table for the overall franchise, and its performances, particularly from Krysten Ritter and David Tennant. Three years on, it says a lot about both how great a year 2018 turned out to be and for how heavily the second season stumbled that Jessica's sophomore outing is so low on this list.

One of the biggest complaints the Netflix shows have faced over the years has been that 13 episodes often feel like too much of a narrative stretch, and perhaps no season to date has quite proven that as much as this one did. Whereas the first season had a pretty solid laser focus thanks to having Kilgrave as its villain, his absence here - save for a standout episode late in the season - left a void the show doesn't bother to fill, the end result being a hodgepodge of ideas that don't tend to mesh well with one another.

Interesting threads left over from the first season, like Will Simpson, are tied up too quickly to the point of feeling like a waste, replaced by threads that feel disjointed from what really matters (Jessica's story), such as Hogarth's ALS plotline, which only results in needlessly padding the whole season and stretching Jessica's arc with her mother out to the point it becomes exhausting. The cast is still solid, sure, but season two failed to reach the bar set by its predecessor, a disappointment that, hopefully, next year's third - and undoubtedly final - season can make up for.
