Jessica Jones Review: Season 1 Episode 4 "Aka 99 Friends"

Jessica Jones Season 1 Episode 3

“AKA It’s Called Whiskey”

SYNOPSIS: 

A new case demands attention as Jessica tries to find out who’s spying on her for Kilgrave. Trish’s radio show yields unexpected consequences.

Review: 

Through out most of episode 4, Jessica is trying to figure out who has been spying on her. She enlists the cop who tried to Kill Trish for help and joins the Kilgrave support group which resulted in answers of who has been stalking her. By the end of the episode we learn that Kilgrave’s plant is non other than the junkie neighbor of Jessica

Meanwhile the officer involved in attacking Trish can’t stop blaming himself for his hand in the attack. This leads to him trying to make amends by stopping at Trish’s place to continue talking with her.

Final Thoughts, Episode 4 of Jessica Jones reminded me a lot of a network television. There was a lot of subplots being brought up which at this time does not look like there is any tie in. There was a lot of focus on the after effects from the mind control and how they eat away at the people Kilgrave took over. I also find it interesting with each passing episode, Jessica seems to becoming more normal and adding  a lot more friends to help in her ultimate battle with Kilgrave.

Episode 4 really slowed down the pace from the last, which was a tad bit disappointing however I am looking forward to all reveals to come. I give this episode One Thumbs Up. Leave your comment below, let us know your thoughts of Episode 4.

Jessica Jones Review: Season 1 Episode 3 "AKA It's Called Whiskey"

Jessica Jones Season 1 Episode 3

“AKA It’s Called Whiskey”

SYNOPSIS: 

It won’t be easy to acquire or deploy. but Jessica thinks she’s found a weapon to use against Kilgrave. Luke and Jessica bond over their similarities

Review: 

Episode 3 starts where Episode 2 left off, Marvel really is pushing the envelope with Jessica Jones. I guess Disney really does know what sex is. Best part of the first 5 min of the show was when Luke Cage asks if there are anymore people like them and the big green guy. Another little nod to the Avengers. Finally we find out that its Luke’s wife which died and is the person Jessica has been having visions of. In this episode Jessica also thinks that she has found a way to fight against Kilgrave by using a surgical anesthetic.  Like most awesome plans which are brought up this early, what are the real chance this will have any effect on kilgrave?

Due to the backlash Hope is receiving from the public due to her murdering her own parents, Jessica convinces Trish to do an on the air interview with Hope. This plan backfires when Trish goes off on Kilgrave and emasculating him on the air. The consequences from this puts Trish in the crosshairs of Kilgrave who sends a cop to try and kill Trish, fortunately Jessica was there. For the first time this season Jessica actually finds Kilgrave when she followed the cop back to the apartment he is currently occupying. 

Final thoughts, the third episode of Jessica Jones really ramps up the action. We finally get the chance to see the full control of Kilgraves mind control. I personally am enjoying the slow reveal of the relationship between Kilgrave and Jessica, just great writing for this show. This episode presented many different possibilities for plot twist in upcoming episodes. While we finally learn Jessica killed Luke’s wife, the ultimate question will be why Kilgrave decided to have this done. How will this effect the relationship between Jessica and Luke, what does Kilgrave ultimately have in store for Luke. Also during the same flashback, one thing stood out, Jessica stopped listening to Kilgrave, does this mean she has the power to push him out?

How creepy was the room with all of the photo’s of Jessica? Plus David Tennant’s voice provide a creepiness second to non, has Marvel found its best Villain? 

This so far is the best episode, which isn’t surprising as most Netflix Series have great build ups. I give this episode Two Thumbs Up. Leave your Comments Below and let us know what your opinion of this episode was.

Jessica Jones Review: Season 1 Episode 1 "AKA Ladies Night"

Jessica Jones Season 1 Episode 1 
“AKA Ladies Night”

Synopsis:
Jessica Jones is hired to find a pretty NYU student who's vanished, but it turns out to be more than a simple missing persons case. 

Review:
The long awaited Netflix Series from Marvel is finally here. The first episode starts with Jessica in the middle of an investigation for her Private Investigator business, Alias Investigations. We are introduced to Carrie-Anne Moss’s character Jeryn Hogarth, a high power lawyer who Jessica Free lances from time to time. As we will learn later on, Jessica is currently living her life after events of being somewhat of a superhero. We find her coping with the being controlled by a man named Killgrave by drinking……and for a Marvel show, she is drinking a lot. Even while drunk, Jessica thinks she is haunted by the thoughts of Kilgrave only to find out he isn’t dead like she had thought. During the first episode Jessica is sought out after being recommended to a couple looking for their daughter. As she gets into her investigation she learns more that Killgrave has something to do with the missing girl. Few of the moments within the first episode show Jessica abilities, Like her ability to jump to extreme lengths and her un-match strength while lifting a car.

Few of the character we have met so far during the first episode. Luke Cage, who will have more of an impact down the road and is currently part of her investigation and Jessica’s estrange friends Trish Walker. Will she become hellcat in the future? 

Final Thoughts, its a very interesting first episode of this netflix show. Much like Daredevil, this show is made to be a bit darker than the majority of the Marvel Universe. Also like Daredevil this show is based in the same time period as the events of New York. The intriguing part of Jessica Jones is how dark this show will get, as seen with the last scene of the first episode, we see the couple looking for their daughter get gun down in the elevator by their daughter who is being controlled by Kilgrave. 

Like many first episodes of any series, this episode concentrated on introducing many characters. The benefit of Netflix is the ability of the creators to take there time and introduce everyone correctly. The way they are building up Kilgrave is awesome. I am loving it. The creator’s also pick the perfect actress to play the part of the lead character. Kristen Ritter couldn’t be more perfect……and if you have seen “Don’t Trust The Bitch In Apt 23” you would know exactly why. Oh and for all you Dr. Who fans, the brief glimpses and the voice of David Tennat is just awesome.

I give this episode Two Thumbs Up. Please let us know what you thought of the first Episode.
