Marvel's Jessica Jones Season 1 [Blu-ray] [2016]

I had intended submitting my own detailed review of Jessica Jones but previous reviewers (ExxWhyZee in particular) have given such comprehensive overviews of the first series that anything I added would only be superfluous. I will just content myself by saying as someone completely new to the mythology of Marvel Comics characters I was drawn to watching this after having enjoyed Season 1 of Daredevil and I wasn't disappointed - from the opening titles and music through to the final fade-out all the episodes made for gripping viewing. I'm looking forward to Season 2 and also the release of Luke Cage (good to see TGW's Lemond Bishop getting a lead role).On the question of "control" which is the driving theme of this programme can I suggest that those interested refer to Zoe Williams' article on "gaslighting" in The Guardian's Guide of 21-27 January 2017 where this cultural obsession as illustrated not only in Jessica Jones but also Homeland and Westworld is addressed.

First of all .. Thank you Amazon for the excellent delivery !Jessica Jones is (in my opinion) the best Marvel series and this BD release is very well madeBUTWhere are season 2 & season 3 releases ?Please Don't do that !All 3 seasons are very good and we deserve to have them on BD and DVD releases !!!Thank you.

I bought this as well as Daredevil Season 1 on Blu-Ray, and unfortunately they both have the same downfalls. The show itself is incredible and worthy of 5 stars, but as a collector of both Blu-Rays and Marvel products the design and features let it down. The cover is excellent artwork, however the back cover has 3 pictures from the show and is very bland, with a garish Blu-Ray features/specs box which ruins the aesthetic. It has no special features at all, which is a real shame as I, and I assume other fans, would appreciate some insight into the production of this show or even some audio commentary. It has subtitles for German as well as the hearing impaired in English. All in all, this box set has the same viewing experience as Netflix, except with a one-off price and having to change discs. If you're interested in this product for the show itself by all means buy it as it is an amazing show, but if you're like me and have seen the show and just want it to update your Marvel collection, I would seriously consider skipping the Netflix shows on home media altogether and just watching them on Netflix as there is no difference between them except price. (PS: It is region free for those interested)

Following on from the bruising brilliance of Daredevil, Netflix find a role that Kristen Ritter doesn't just excel in; she positively owns Jessica Jones. This is a downbeat and gritty tale of obsession and redemption. With some shocking twists and turns along the way, these 13 episodes make the prospect of Marvel's Defenders even more exciting, but I can't help but worry that keeping up this sort of quality is going to be a tough call for the writers and producers. Excellent stuff.The Blu-ray looks and sounds great but maintains Netflix's run of vanilla releases. That being said, though, when a series is this good out really doesn't matter.

Others have reviewed this to death. I'll just say "Ignore the naysayers who say it's too slow and that the lead character is unlikeably miserable". Yeah, it takes its time, but that's fine, it allows time for character and texture to develop. Why should everything be glitzy crash-boom-bang and a rush to the next scene? Despite the implausibility of the overall plot arc - mind control - the best possible praise I can give this is to say that it feels absolutely real. And I intend that as high praise for the producers, directors, writers and actors.

An excellent series. I thought it started off a bit slow, but in the end became a truly fantastic thriller. It is a superb plot and story that is well directed and filmed with some great acting and characters that you become to really care about. As a comic book fan' of over 40 years I highly recommend it.

It was sent in excellent condition well packaged

Outstanding for Marvel.Jessica Jones is the female pseudo anti-hero we have been missing. Recommend watching the Defenders as Jessica Jones (and Pasty) are interwoven throughout that series also.Looking forward to Season Two Jessica Jones, especially to see how all the female directed episodes will fair.

Thank you for an easy delivery, pleasant transaction. Excellent Seller. A+

Veramente belli..Lo consiglio da vedere per chi ha la passione della marvel..Attrice stupenda.

Con Jessica Jones, Netflix añadía una nueva serie de Marvel a su catálogo y aunque al final parece ser que no van a ser canon en el UCM, lo cierto es que la serie está bien e introduce a todo un villano Marvel como Kilgrave. Buena realización, interesante y si no la pillas así tarde o temprano la dejarás de ver porque a Netflix se le acabará el contrato que tienen con su productora (una lástima que no podamos hacernos con la 2 y 3 temporada porque simplemente hayan sido muy vagos como para editarla en físico). En cuanto a la edición, blu-ray americano con sólo inglés pero compatible con los lectores de España.

I'm not a big "Super Hero" movie fan, but in Jessica Jones, like the Dark Knight trilogy, super powers are secondary, pretty much irrelevant next to the human element. This is a well acted, almost flawlessly told story; powerful when viewed with an understanding of its child sexual abuse analogy and the profoundly damaging, life long effects it has on it's victims.Krysten Ritters portrayal of a self destructive, nihilistic, deeply damaged, guilt ridden individual, bent on revenge while hampered by an innate compassion which both limits and motivates her actions, is perfect, and her sardonic wit is hilarious.I tend not to expect "Super Hero" stories to be a particularly meaningful, beyond their portrayal of obvious mythic archetypes, so when one comes along that is profoundly human, it's something special. Jessica Jones is something special.

“Marvel’s Jessica Jones: The Complete Season 1” introduces Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage, Rachel Taylor as Patricia “Trish” Walker, Wil Traval as Will Simpson, Eka Darville as Malcolm Ducasse, Carrie-Anne Moss as Jeri Hogarth, and David Tennant as Kilgrave with Rosario Dawson making some guest appearances as Claire Temple. The season focuses on Jones, an alcoholic private investigator, who pushes away everyone close to her while investigating Kilgrave, a man with mind control abilities who once controlled her. She meets Luke Cage and they bond over their mutual special powers while Jones also does P.I. work for Jeri Hogarth, a powerful attorney who’s not above bending the law to win in court.The series adapted Brian Michael Bendis’ “Alias” comics, with the first episode fairly faithfully adapting the first issue. Though this series tones down some of the comic book elements – for example, Kilgrave goes by his name rather than calling himself the Purple Man (and the show even states that he chose Kilgrave as a name because it sounded cool) – it does maintain the gritty realism of Bendis’ comics. Like all of the Netflix Marvel series, it uses color and lighting to evoke a mood and create a distinctive look just like a comic book, in this case making use of blues and purples. Though the series takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it only makes the occasional references to the films and instead stands on its own, while working to set up characters who appear in the other Netflix series like Luke Cage and Jeri Hogarth.
