10 Most Disappointing TV Shows Of 2018

The first season of Jessica Jones, which debuted Krysten Ritter in the title role, really showed what the Netflix Marvel Universe could be. It included the dark, tone of Daredevil, but used that to discuss a number of serious themes and featured an intense, incredible hero vs villain rivalry (helped in no small part by David Tennant's performance).

After two-and-a-half years away, then, there was a lot of expectation for Jessica Jones Season 2 (unlike with Luke Cage, which had already faltered in its first season anyway). Krysten Ritter was phenomenal yet again, and the show once again had a great voice, but it also fell victim to many of the now-common Netflix Marvel problems.

There was hardly any story, let alone one that could fill 13 hours of television, and a real lack of focus, while it also missed having a clear antagonist. It was an average, at times boring series, when the first had been something really special. Hopefully, Season 3 can bounce back, but then it's also likely to be cancelled as well.

Which TV shows disappointed you this year? Let us know down in the comments.
