Jessica Jones-- Marvel/Netflix

It simultaneously manages to seem to be written:

(a)by a really old person who doesn't get that these shows are more like movies and not like network television, so it doesn't really matter when season 2 comes.

(b)by a really young person because she claims JJ is the "the first great female comics character to have her OWN show" apparently forgetting Wonder Woman ever existed.
 
Very cool.

It occurs to me that the second season of Jessica Jones will be new and uncharted grounds for the character as there really isn't any more source material that is appropriate to adapt. In the comic, after Killgrave she was pregnant, hooked up with Luke and working for the Daily Bugle. I don't really see them going in this direction.;)

They did plant seeds for a second season with the IGH mystery that seemed to connect her, Luke, Killgrave and Simpson, but that's not based on anything from the comic.

Well, not really. The Alias comic did several storylines before it got around to revealing Jessica's backstory with Killgrave. Most of them involved Marvel characters that are reserved for the movies, like Cap, Ant-Man and J. Jonah Jameson, but Matt Murdock had a role in some of them as well. There was one involving Rick Jones, a character who's so far undepicted in the MCU aside from a passing mention in The Incredible Hulk. And the "Come Home" arc involved Jessica going to a small town and searching for a missing girl who turned out to be a mutant; maybe they could do that with an Inhuman girl instead.
 
I'm not sure he was actually a scammer, but the point stands nonetheless that it wasn't Rick Jones.

However, there are two big points that follow from the fact that the Purple Man made up such a tiny portion of Jessica Jones's Alias comic: 1. There are other stories from the comic to draw from and 2. The first season was largely new material and the second season can be too.
 
MGH becomes IGH?

As much as telling her own story goes, I'm thinking that following on from here is going to be at least half road to the Defenders.

Which means Space Dragons if the clues from Daredevil one are much to go by.
