This is basically a pseudo-noir Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 with superpowers. #JessicaJones acts more like a bitch than a hardened superheroine, meanwhile the show forcibly tries to sell you the idea of a deep & gritty story with very transparent and shallow actions when, in reality, it's a very slow procedural with pacing issues, lack of tension and character development.
Sadly, the untapped potential is noticeable; the actors in general do shine when not misdirected, nice photography, great score (even though there are noticeable sound design failures), and one of the best, most interesting villains of the MCU. You are better off watching iZombie, it's better written, without the over-the-top pretentions.
