| Created by Melissa Rosenberg 13 episodes @ Netflix My Rating: 5/5 |
JESSICA JONES was part of Marvel Cinematic Universe under female creation and supervision of Melissa Rosenberg. Characters were based from Marvel comic books, Alias, only then Rosenberg and staff added Trish Walker on the scene making her the only living person Jessica has to protect. Trish "Patsy" Walker is an iconic hero "hellcat" in comic world and the possibility of these two blended together in one as sisterly best friends was great combination indeed. The first episode was not a typical show from MCU performing a series of heroic actions, in fact, it's about a woman who suffered from PTSD. Jessica had been controlled by this man who has an ability to let people do what he wants. The mind-control thing was hardest to overcome, albeit Jessica's super strength. She's been abducted by Kilgrave for almost a year. Subversive Jessica, however, managed to escape from him, quietly back in the hole, doing her niche as sole owner of "Alias Investigations," a small private investigative firm. She was regularly clad in black, leatherly jacket with boots on ready for a battle except that she avoided to go on hunting bad guys around the City that never sleep. The central theme span around sexuality, assault, rape and truama.
One of my favorite scenes from the show was in the middle of 4th episode when Jessica was throwing tantrums on these two dope blaming her on the incident she has no idea what was about. If you would like to get connected what it was, then I suggest to look for Avenger movie where the battle happens in New York. It was perfect scene that I'd like Jessica Jones rewarded for accurately heralding a point what every quirkless human being deserved to hear. The same thought had emerged when Government was hardly upbraided if a person ended up jobless or professors put on a blame if a student got bad grades. Although the latter part was susceptible to debate, it's all up to somebody how to win remarkably just like what she did. And David Tennant who played Kilgrave was perfect on his role. He was really passionate and took Jessica to be his slave. I like his accent, and the way he articulates every poisonous requests thickened from his morbid breath... it's like a drug, yo. Hits really high when conversation goes like this (note: their confrontation was befallen unequal from the scene just to avoid spoilers):
Old woman: She's a slut!
Killgrave: Why do you think Jessica's a slut? Rephrase it this way... What will you do if someone was calling you a hoe, barely acting like one in the first place? Tell me the truth. *threatening voice is on*
Old woman: I want to slap them.
Jessica: *directing Kilgrave to let the old woman free with no punishment*
Jesus Christ! Killgrave was a cray cray piece of shit you should restrain from hearing, otherwise you'll be literally drag down to hell. He would make the world span with the click of his purple tongue and Tennant did an amazing performance to prove he's one of a kind actor that could give justice to given character. Moreover, Krysten Ritter who played JJ was absolutely amazing actress. She was able to deliver her part effortlessly, and her charming countenance and active brows added points when she blurted out sarcasm and cursed weirdos crossing her way. That's why I was intrigued to get to know more of her acting style, perhaps I'll start with the show, "Breaking Bad," which I've heard it received a highest critical acclaim.
I liked it. I somehow see myself to Jessica, wearing sullen faces all day, determined to detach from drama unexpectedly brought by fate and lead her own methods without leaving a trace or two but the drinking habit is not normal for the eyes of normal person as me. She gulped whiskey for animation as baby sucked milk from mother cow for nutrition, but this fueled her fearlessly to catch Kilgrave right on the hook. When two began executing a scene it made the whole room purplish and quite menacing. Jessica spat great animosity and Kilgrave, on the other hand, displayed his obsession for taking over a giant fish out of frying pan. I wish I had seen more scenes from two of my favorite characters. As I've mentioned earlier, Rosenberg able to attached Patsy Walker which reasonably adds vibrant on the show. And Luke Cage with fragile heart yet unbreakable skin was a hot guy you don't want to miss from Marvel franchise. This show is a winner!
