Jessica Jones: 8 Things We Need To See In Season 3

7. Jessica Kicking The Habit

Everyone knows Jessica loves a good drink. But Season 2 saw her putting back a record amount of alcohol, excessive even by her standards. As one might think, her unique constitution means more booze is required for her to feel the merry effects. But unfortunately, partying was not the incentive for her life inside the bottle.

Alcohol is Jessica's one true method of neutering all the pain and regret of her life. And the more tragic occurrences that afflict her life, the more she drinks. It's the placebo cure for her ailments, which also renders her unable to face and conquer these problems on any practical level.

Viewers may have hoped she'd kicked the habit by the end of series 2, but in fact the opposite happened. So maybe Season 3 will be the sobering experience she needs. As in real life, the road to recovery from alcoholism will be a turbulent and not at all easy one. But it will most certainly be the determining decider between a happy ending and a not so happy one. After everything she's been through, it's high time she and the viewers deserved the latter.
