Krysten Ritter was absolutely fantastic as Jessica Jones! And as great as she was, Rachael Taylor was equally as bad as Trish Walker. I was rooting for her character to die throughout the entire series! Overall, Jessica Jones is a really good tv show and while it's not quite as good as "The Punisher" or "Daredevil", it's still good and absolutely worth watching! Anyway, this is so much more than just a Superhero show, it's an intense psychological drama that is incredibly well written. Kilgrave (David Tennant) is one of the best bad guys in any Superhero movie or tv show ever. He's not the best but he's up there. It may start a little slow for some but stick with it because I promise it gets better. All 3 seasons are great!
Really entertaining show. Only let down by the occasional face palm moment here and there. David Tennant is wonderful and adds a much needed touch of class to proceedings. Carrie Ann Moss is also very good. Other performances are...hit and miss. Overall a solid - if occasionally dopey - show.
Season 1 - 10/10
Season 2 - 5/10
Season 3 - 6/10.
Krysten Ritter is amazing as JJ.
Kilgrave is an awesome antagonist portrayed by an awesome actor.

If for nothing else, watch Jessica Jones for David Tennant's performance as Kilgrave. He is better than any other Marvel movie or TV villain ever seen before. He is truly terrifying but oddly hypnotizing. He can make you do whatever he tells you to. Not only does David Tennant's charisma make this believable, but the writers use it in a lot of cool ways. As a villain, he's right up there with Heath Ledger's Joker.
Krysten Ritter (Jesse's girlfriend from season 2 of Breaking Bad) plays the lead. It's great to see a Female Marvel lead, and she delivers a wonderfully understated performance. The show starts off as a gritty detective show with dry humour and not much of Tennant. However, as the show goes along, it evolves into something much cooler. It gets darker but also funnier, and Tennant's involvement becomes larger.
In conclusion, Jessica Jones is a very binge-able show with a memorable villain and a great lead that doesn't need much prior knowledge despite tying into the Marvel universe. In my opinion, it's even better than Daredevil.

This is just a general review of what I felt overall having just finished the finale.
The first season was brilliant, 8/10. If you haven't watched JJ then just watch S1.
The second season was rubbish and so was the third, 5-6/10. Hence I downgraded my overall rating from 8/10 to 7/10.
Trish Walker was such a lame character and the fact that she features more prominently in the plot for S2 and S3 probably explains part of why the show went downhill.
S3 was the end for the show just in the same way as Daredevil which itself was a brilliant show and didn't really dip the way JJ did (blame Netflix/Disney).
JJ for the average viewer can feel like a bit of a drag so bare that in mind, but again it's worth it in S1 as the whole premise is she's a private investigator dealing with a bad guy/girl over the series.
