Tonally, Marvel’s Jessica Jones is heavier than Marvel’s Daredevil, but that being said, it’s somehow more watchable. I can easily see myself re-watching this relatively soon, while I am just getting to the point that I want to see the devil of Hell’s Kitchen’s first season again. This is an important episode. It’s not as Kilgrave-centered (though even […]
Jessica Jones gets closer to Luke Cage, and thinks that she knows a way to nullify Kilgrave’s abilities, so she tries to enlist the aid of various people in her life. Which, it goes without saying, doesn’t quite go as planned. This episode is also the first time we hear Cage say “Sweet Christmas,” and […]
After unwittingly helping to orchestrate a tragedy, Jessica Jones tries to find out why Kilgrave is back.
Welcome, True Believers to the commentary on the first episode of Marvel’s Jessica Jones. The first thing I noticed was that Jessica Jones is a co-production between Marvel Television and Netflix, which I don’t recall during Daredevil’s credits. The second is the music, by Sean Callery, gives the series a very noir feel and is vaguely reminiscent […]
This time around we get to seem more of the villainous Kilgrave (David Tennant).
I actually don’t have anything against Adam Sandler, though what bothers me most about him is that his comedy feels particularly lazy. I might catch his Netflix movie, The Ridiculous 6, for no other reason than the way the streaming network tends to work encourages curiosity about content that I would probably never watch otherwise. Then again, I’ve heard […]
Results is too flabby for a movie that revolves around a gym.
I have to admit that based on the first episode of Netflix’s Sense8 that things weren’t going to go to well. Reason being, while it managed to avoid the problem endemic to the Wachowskis’s Matrix sequels–which because of their tendency to ‘tell, not show’ came off a bit pretentious–it also came off a bit scattershot. Then again, it should […]
..and the first I have read is from SuperHeroHype–and it’s pretty positive (effusively so, truth be told). In fact, I suspect that it’s perhaps too rosy seeing that it appears that the reviewer has only seen the first of a 13-episode series. Enthusiasm aside–after all, the site isn’t called SuperHeroHype for nothing–it’s a good sign that the opener […]
