Jessica Jones Has Dropped On Netflix!
See you in 13 hours.
The much anticipated Jessica Jones, starring Krysten Ritter in the title role, has just been released in its entirety on Netflix. Thirteen episodes of Marvel and Netflix's latest MCU collaboration are currently available for your viewing pleasure. Early buzz out of the gate is extremely strong - the show currently has a 96% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes - so it looks like Netflix have another hit on their hands. Not only are we getting some more adult-themed Marvel content, which has proved mature superhero stories do have an audience and not everything has to be watered down to a PG (thank you, Daredevil!) - but we're finally getting a female lead in a superhero story. And to think, it only took Kevin Feige seven years after the creation of Marvel Studios. Check out the synopsis for Jessica Jones below.
Ever since her short-lived stint as a Super Hero ended in tragedy, Jessica Jones has been rebuilding her personal life and career as a hot-tempered, sardonic, badass private detective in Hells Kitchen, New York City. Plagued by self-loathing, and a wicked case of PTSD, Jessica battles demons from within and without, using her extraordinary abilities as an unlikely champion for those in need especially if theyre willing to cut her a check.There's going to be a lot to digest here for fans, over the course of 13 episodes - not only being able to see a fan-favourite character on screen (in what looks to be a faithful adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis' Alias, where the character debuted), but also our first glimpse of Luke Cage. David Tennant looks to be a great choice for the despicable Purple Man, and early reviews have applauded his acting in the show - especially as we're so used to seeing him as the kindly Doctor. Beyond that look for a great many references, easter eggs and subtle character cameos; be it minor characters from the comics or other actors from the previously-established Marvel/Netflix TV universe; personally, I'm gunning for a Daredevil appearance, but I'm not holding my breath. Once you've finished binging on Jessica Jones - we know you're going to leave work early for it - come back here and sound off in the comments about what you thought. Jessica Jones is available to stream on Netflix now.
