Jessica Jones: The Complete First Season

“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.

The blue-ray format for this show is a nice upgrade over HD video via cable. The video detail and audio are excellent. Video color and contrast are close to perfect. Great detail from the lightest colors to deep shadows. The only issue is with the case itself which arrived damaged inside. The problem appears to be with the high speed assembly machinery pushing down too hard on the case, cracking or breaking some of the internal plastic supports. The discs arrived in good condition. The case, not so much. Great series.

Since it is a Netflex series it comes late to DVD but I really like this one. It was especially wild, keep your interest. I highly recommend this series and can't wait to get my hands on Season 2.

A compelling, dark look at the superhero genre and the emotional cost. Jessica Jones is a compelling emotionally stunted superheroine who you will grow to love (warts, temper and all), while David Tennant as Killgrave is absolutely chilling.

Fantastic show. The Blu-ray quality is significantly higher than Netflix streaming (Luke Cage is actually black instead of green!), so it's certainly worth owning on disc even if you have Netflix. I knocked off a star because every time I pick up the case, some new part of the cheap plastic breaks off. When will manufacturers stop peddling these fall-apart cases?

What a terrific performance Krysten Ritter gave us as Jessica Jones. Marvels most bing-worthy series came in the form of a “hard-drinking, short-fused, mess of a woman” .. I’m going to miss this show after Season 3.

She was very good at her trying to get to the base of the problems she was trying to win.

It’s the disc to a awesome show. I’d like to own the next one.

This series introduces new Marvel characters called Defenders which are humans that have powers which are more toned down compared to the Marvel avenger characters. The main character is Jessica Jones whose powers are useful in her work as a private investigator but she has a drink problem related to her traumatic past in which she came up against a villain with powers of mind control. The villain is played by the excellent David Tennant.The series has a good story line which revolves around the battle she has with the villain who she comes across when investigating a case.

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.

This is a Blu-Ray review.Not a bad series, very adult content like sex scenes, rape scenarios and fighting violence but it never really captured me... E.g. I might watch season 2 if there is one but I'm not bothered if I don't.Oh and no bonus features of any kind!

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.

For me it started off a bit slow, but as it went along the better it got. I am now waiting for a second season to be made available. It would be a shame for it to finish where it did. I loved it and recommend it for your viewing.
