Spoilers Jessica Jones - Season 3

We're only a few episodes in but I can't say I'm enjoying it much. I was never fond of Trish. She was OK -ish in season 1 but became really irritating in season 2. I just didn't buy her motivation. Maybe it's the actress or the writing --I don't know. Jessica isn't likeable but I still find her engaging.

When Trish starts spouting off, it makes me want to tune out.
 
While some of us fans are still holding onto hope that at least one of the Netflix shows will be revived in some form, Krysten Ritter doesn't think she'll be involved, telling TVLine “Do I think I’ll play her again? I don’t think so. I feel like I’ve played her, you know? I feel really good about it. I feel good about closing the door.”

Honestly, I don't blame her. The third season provides plenty of great closure for all of the main characters. I wouldn't mind seeing Jessica show up for another season of The Defenders but that seems unlikely since it seems like I'm the only person who loved the first season.
 
Things went down a different path than I was thinking originally, which was a nice surprise.

I really disliked Trish in season two, but I felt more empathy for her this time around. Maybe it helped that I rewatched the show before committing to the final stretch? I was pretty happy with this one anyway, I enjoyed it more than season two anyway.

Like season three of Daredevil, I was happy with how all of the characters ended their arcs. Jessica at the end really made me smile. :techman:
Luke Cage was a nice surprise, though it would have been nice to have something a little longer to wrap his arc a little after the big cliffhanger of S2. Though I imagine the cancellation happened after the planning here.

My final Marvel/Netflix ranking:

Jessica Jones S1
Daredevil S1
Daredevil S3
Luke Cage S1
Jessica Jones S3
The Defenders
Jessica Jones S2
Daredevil S2
Luke Cage S2
Iron Fist S1

I only watched an episode of S2 of Iron Fist, and the first four episodes of Punisher before I gave up on those.
 
Just finished this one and really enjoyed it. More than season 2, even though I also really liked season 2. Overall I quite enjoyed how every season of this show did something very different from the others and they were all done well.

Also, as a cap to the netflix series I really love that
Trish's story winds up actually paralleling the Kingpin from way back in DD season 1. Both damaged people convincing themselves they're heroes/making the world a better place, who have to be forced to realize that no, they're really, truly villains. But where Kingpin is liberated by the realization and revels in it, Trish is the exact opposite. That was fun.

My ranking would currently be:

JJ 1
DD 1
Punisher 1
Luke Cage 2
JJ 3
Luke Cage 1
JJ 2
DD 3
IF 2
DD 2
IF 1
Defenders

But I still haven't got around to watching Punisher season 2 yet. Sometime this month, maybe.
 
Oh, cool thought about the Kingpin parallel. I hadn't thought about that but it's a great observation.
 
The biggest surprise for me was when I realized Trish's mom was Rebecca DeMornay! :O

I don't understand the last moments of the finale. (Spoilers, obviously) She sees the purple ticket, it's sort of glowing (or at least lit to be conspicuous), and we hear Killgrave's voice. Then she abruptly turns around, gets a weird smile, and abandons her plans to leave. It made me think he gave her a post-hypnotic suggestion that kicked in or something like that.
 
No, I think it's just an extension of the notion that he's always (figuratively) in her head and to some degree or another, always will be.
Just like last season, he's manifesting as an embodiment of part of her psyche; her self-hatred in this case it seems. Her turning around is Jess deciding not to let the part of her that's him win. I mean Jessica is nothing if not belligerently contrary.

Yup, that's how I read that scene, which is supported by his appearance in season 2.
 
I finished this up yesterday, and I really enjoyed it.
The whole cast really did an exceptional job.
Salenger was a great villain, and Erik was a nice addition on the hero side.
I was really shocked with the direction they took Trish, but it worked really well.
