There were also quite a few witty remarks from Leland Owlsley.
Turk wasn't nearly as funny as in Miller's comics, though.

They've announced a DVD/BR release of DD season 1 for the UK.

Cool. I might just look at getting that
Now they need to release it in the US 
Hopefully when they do release it in the US it won't be as ridiculously and outrageously overpriced as Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter have been in the past.
Honestly? Not really, no.
Now, my opinion of Jessica Jones may be something of an outlier. I was never wowed by the show, and was frankly bored by it more than anything. It DOES do a good job with it's themes, and the portrayal of Jessica herself, and her trauma is really well done. But nothing happens for huge stretches at a time. For all the knocks that Daredevil gets for pacing, I thought JJ was infinitely slower moving. And it's main characters are monumentally, incredibly dumb. Like Heroes level plot-induced stupidity.
That said, David Tennant's Killgrave is pretty much worth watching by himself. Such a monstrous creature born from such skilled craft. I'd tell you to watch just for him, to see the way the character is constructed, the way your sympathy as a viewer is being manipulated by both he and Jessica. But I'm not sure it's worth the investment if you hated the first episode.
To each their own. I thought Jessica Jones was awesome.
I thought JJ was good too.
I think the first episode perfectly encapsulates what the season is. It's a very psychological show. The pacing is building tension. I'd certainly suggest giving it three episodes to fully understand what the show is doing before giving up on it, but it's possible if you didn't like episode one that it's just not for you.
A lot of stuff happens in Jessica Jones. It's just stuff happening internally, involving human emotions and relationships and the consequences of trauma rather than just superficial action and plot beats. It's a story about consequences and recovery, so naturally it takes time. Most TV and movies lie to us, by showing us a single, quick act of violence and ignoring its aftermath, which lasts far, far longer. JJ is a show about the aftermath.
Watching it I remember thinking trimming a couple of episodes would probably have been a good thing.
Thanks for all of the answers. I really don't want to give up on it, I'll probably watch it all before sept. 30 gets here because I think it might lay down some background for Luke Cage. I'm looking forward to that one. Also, David Tenant is a draw for me, even when this was speculation my interest quadrupled when he was playing the Purple Man.
I was wondering, especially towards the end of Daredevil's second season, is this show that good or am I just so invested in the characters from the books?
I don't have any investment in Jessica Jones, she's from after I stopped getting books, I gave up with the Heroes Reborn story. I do remember Purple Man, though. The only comic I got after those were Judge Dredd.
I think back on the two seasons and like how the characters were done so very much, even now I still can't believe Ben Urich was killed! And Vondie Curtis-Hall was just about as perfect a Ben Urich I could ever see and the way that kind of character was killed was very affecting. And Wilson Fisk evolving into the Kingpin rather than showing up as the Kingpin, that was really well done and threw me off. You think you know things about these characters but then you don't know necessarily what point in their "lives" we are seeing them. I also liked the minor but existing tie ins to the MCU.

The Law and the Multiverse blog has done a couple of posts about the legal issues in Daredevil season 2, including their just-posted evisceration of the way Frank Castle's trial was depicted:

Just wait until you hear what the AMA has to say about all the medical errors.
