3. Jessica Jones

Jessica Jones ran on Netflix from 2015-2019, following a Marvel comics hero who opens up her own detective agency, solving crimes involving individuals with super abilities. It is a much darker narrative from the Marvel Cinematic Universe films and is definitely intended for the adult age category, with Tennant starring as evil antagonist supervillain Kilgrave (purple man).

The actor plays one of his most sinister roles to date and has since been selected as one of the 40 greatest villains of all time by Rolling Stone for his character in the show. The stalker-style predator manipulates his victims with his telepathic control commands as he obsesses over the young adult Jessica. He appears in all three seasons and has made a lasting impact on viewers of the short running show, which has not been renewed any further- much to many fans' disappointment.

The show does not follow on from the superhero movies on the big screen, so all can enjoy - and endure - Tennant's scary and creepy interpretation of the role that has resided in many people's nightmares forever...
