Well not explicit but pretty graphic for a Disney owned show I thought.

I thought the same thing. Seemed unnecessary. How many times do we need to see the same 2 people get it on?

Otherwise I thought it was really good.

As much as I enjoyed Daredevil, I think this series worked even better. The Purple Man was especially well handled and Tenant did an amazing job!

I don't think this is true based on the comics I read. Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Spider-Woman, Captain Marvel and definitely Ms. Marvel don't act that way.

I've watched the first four episodes. I didn't know anything about Jessica Jones before this show was announced, so I read up on it a little bit. I have no interest in adult material in comic book properties, so I knew going into this series after reading about the comics that I probably wouldn't like it...and I was right. The main reason I wanted to watch it was because I've always loved Luke Cage, but the Luke Cage I like was the one who wore the yellow puffy sleeved shirt and the chain belt. I guess I'll stick with the movies. I really don't want to see the slimier parts of the human psyche that Killgrave represents and brings out in seemingly everyone and everything he touches. Jessica is a broken, jaded, miserable person based on what Killgrave did to her, and it's not fun to watch. It's depressing, sleazy, and just plain yuck. Looks like mind control is the most evil super power of all.

This is one of those bad Hollywood sterotypes that for a woman to be strong, she needs to act like a man, be tomboyish or butch. Often happens when men write for female characters.

That's one thing I like about the CBS Supergirl show is that she has a strong character and is physically powerful but still be feminine.

I haven't see JJ yet and will probably watch it during the Christmas / New Years holiday. So I can't comment about her character.

Any criticism about Jessica's character not being feminine enough shouldn't be blamed on "Hollywood". Marvel Studios is just lifting the story directly from the source material. Often times literally: http://www.ew.com/gallery/jessica-jo...marvel-netflix

Didn't enjoy it as much as DD, but still worthwhile IMO.

I pointed out comics too. The tv version did a good job at transferring the character.

Finally finished the run, a great. Disappointed that they did have the sex in it as I really can't share it with my 14 year old daughter.
