Jessica Jones Review: Season 1 Episode 7 "AKA Top Shelf Perverts



Jessica Jones Season 1 Episode 7
“AKA Top Shelf Perverts”

Synopsis:
Malcolm, Simpson, and Trish go rogue to prevent Jessica from carrying out an extreme plan to outwit Kilgrave

Review:
So in the 7th episode Kilgrave makes Ruben kill himself in Jessica’s bed. This causes Jessica to come up with an extreme plan to have herself locked up in a supermax Prison in order to catch Kilgrave using his powers while trying to get into the prison. Malcolm and Trish both work to convince Jessica this is a horrible plan, Malcolm goes as far as cleaning the scene of the crime and dumping Rubens body into the prison. This still doesn’t stop Jessica as she goes in after the body and come back up with the Head. 

Jessica goes to turn herself in and Kilgrave takes over the Police Precinct. He give Jessica a choice to go with him. But he wants her to make her own choices, she has to decide for her self to go with him.

Final Thoughts:
Episode 7 was all about Jessica dealing with the guilt of people dying around her and the murder of Luke Cages wife. We finally get more of an idea of what Kilgraves motive are, he just Love’s Jessica. It might be the most interesting way to play the main villain, he comes across as a true Sociopath. As much as I loved the ending, I find that this episode was a little bit of a lull in the season.


I give this episode One Thumbs Up. Leave your comment below.

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.
