Mybitchunderprotest Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Just finished the last episode. A great series and a lot better than I had anticipated, even though I thought it was going to be good. As plenty of folk were suggesting Tennant is indeed outstanding in it but doesn't quite steal the show from Ritter. Has to be a definite for a season 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Have watched the first three episodes and enjoying it so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I've got one more to go. The build through the season has been tremendous the whole way. From the minute Kilgrave is even mentioned, he casts a fairly large shadow over everything. The moment when they see each other for the first time since "that" is superbly done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Anyone else find themselves liking Kilgrave better than the shows hero? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Finished it, killgrave stole the show. Better than Daredevil imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Anyone else find themselves liking Kilgrave better than the shows hero? Nope. Always run the risk of that with a great villain, but Jones was played utterly brilliantly. A testament to how well Krysten Ritter did. Thought the finale was a bit disappointing, but a tremendous season of TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Anyone else find themselves liking Kilgrave better than the shows hero? could say the same about daredevil, Kingpin was one of the best baddies ive ever seen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I've watched the first 3 episodes and really enjoying it. How does it compare to other superhero tie-ins in terms of tone? Its, obviously, quite dark and "gritty". I watched about 2 minutes of The Flash the other night and it seemed very Americany-cheese. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marvel series on Netflix - Daredevil & Jessica Jones - have gone for a dark/violent take on things and are both excellent. If you're enjoying Jessica Jones you'd likely enjoy Daredevil as well. The same universe also has the Agents of Shield & Agent Carter shows, but they are less brutal and closer to the DC universe in tone. THE DC series (Arrow & Flash) are very light compared to the Netflix shows. I tried them both, and i'm not really a fan of either show which is a shame because I actually really like both Green Arrow and the Flash in the comics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched a few minutes of Arrow when it first came on Sky. Absolutely hated it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Jessica Jones is decent (David Tennant is awesome), but I wasn't a fan of Daredevil. It might have been the actors rather than the characters/story, but there was just nothing particularly likable about it for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm halfway through Jessica Jones but so far have preferred Daredevil (although I am a big fan of both). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For JJ I was also impressed that there was more (genuine) emotional resonance for the characters based on the actions that happened. In your standard fair they might have pondered for an episode on something serious having occurred then the character(s) would continue on unchanged, definitely not the case in this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradHorse Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I thought it was alright. I'm not really one for super hero TV series' but I'm generally trusting of IMDB ratings and it had 8.8 so I gave it a go. Not to mention the fact that Krysten Ritter (so?) is absolutely stunning. I actually think David Tennant is going to have his most successful period of his career in the latter years. I know his acting background is stellar and despite not watching it I understand he was great in Doctor Who, but I think playing a villain might be his calling. Right now I thought he was a bit too well-dressed British to pull off a character so bad but I think as he ages he might go the Christopher Lee route and just become like an awesome villain actor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been convinced he's better as a villain since I saw him as Barty Crouch Jr in Harry Potter - sinister as f*ck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Harry Potter was that? I've seen a couple of them but I can't think who he was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
