Solid start to the season after so long away. Love this character and how well Ritter plays her. Can't wait for this season to really kick off.
Great beginning, so excited to see Jessica again! This time, apparently delving a lot more on her origins as well as those of other individuals. Loved the back and forth between Jessica and Cheng and the confrontation scene, quite intense. We also had Hogarth being Hogarth, and also receiving what could only be bad news - guess we'll find out. I really hope Foggy shows up at some point.
For a moment I forgot about The Defenders. It was only towards the end that I thought, "oh, all that happened as well in between seasons." It seems like they're making these shows as standalone as possible while still having plenty of connections - I'm a fan of that, because I can see how you would be a fan of Jessica Jones without necessarily wanting to see everything else (which happened with Punisher too, for the most part).
I find Jessica Jones similar to Logan in that, it's a superhero story that... doesn't really feel like it most of the time. Take this episode, for instance, and you're dealing with the sadness and apathy of someone who "happens to have powers". This is what I loved about season 1, it was more about Killgrave's control and other situations than about powers themselves. Goes a long way in expanding the superhero genre without making it repetitive.
Jessica trying to catch the Whizzy - it was funny and very cringy at the same time. I don't know what to make of this episode...
After a few years away from a story focused on Jessica Jones, it's nice to see her back in another season centered on her rather than the Defenders. In attempts to learn more about her past, she must be willing to open a very old wound that has not healed well with time. The threat of another P.I. attempting to steal her business brings about a new focus for this season which is interesting as well. I'm more curious to know who Trish's stalker was and what it means to her.
I'd love a little more of Jessica handling regular cases from time to time. The clients meeting part was great. It would be perfect if they all turned out to be related to the main story. Specially the dinosaur people girl. The Whizzer was great.
The Patsy moment was fun. Trish really upped her PI game, getting all of this intel.
Malcolm has evolved again, in the beginning of season one I thought Hope would become the assistant, but he's perfect for the job.
Trish's new boyfriend is annoyingly good. Even Jessica seems to like him, and he can handle her. Definitely will either turn out to be a bad guy, or die tragically.
Jeri's still there ? Urgh. I understand they can't let go of an known actress like that, but her character already outlived her usefulness. Well, maybe not outlived for long apparently, definitely a death diagnostic there, but I can only smell a boring storyline here.
Same with the PI war story. Do we really need that ?
Probably a lot more of Jessica's past coming this season. Well maybe more origin than past exactly ?
All in all, that was a pretty good start. Characters have evolved, some good storylines started, some useles one too though.
The plot begins, to see where it takes us, It is difficult to see a scene in which Jessica is not drinking or with a bad face
What kind of sh*t is this? All of season 2 doesn't make sense, it's overly predictable and the characters appear to have no logic whatsoever. I just finished the entire season and I wish I got those hours of my life back.
Sigh, guess we're in for another season of melancholy with a boring, whining excuse for a superhero.
What a great start to season 2. I love the relationship between Jessica and Trish and how much they care for each other.

I can't believe it's been almost 2.5 years since season 1. Just to put it in perspective, i was in my 2nd year of high school when this show first premiered, and now I'm at university. Time really does fly.
Krysten Ritter was born to play Jessica. Sometimes it feels like the MCU actors are grown on a farm of some kind and genetically engineered to play their characters. She channels all the anger, all the hurt, all the brokenness (I thought there was no way it was a real word, but it is! I love the English language) perfectly. Without her talent and charisma, this show would never work. She deserves all the awards for her performance.
So this season we're going to explore Jessica's past. Hey, I'm hyped. It's going to be interesting to see her get to the roots of her trauma. I can smell the angst from here.
(Also, can I just say, Jessica wearing the same pair of jeans every day and alternating between like two identical shirts makes her the most relatable character in all of MCU.)
Jessica and Trish's relationship is my favorite, so seeing them conflict hurts my heart. I hope they'll get past it soon and work together, like they should be.
Cheng is a fucking asshole. I hate him already. Sure, Jessica making a punching bag out of him wasn't cool, but honestly, after what he said to her, I can't find it in myself to feel bad for him.
Hogarth is dying, isn't she? I wonder how it will impact her actions this season.
Good season premiere overall. I'm happy to have this show back. I'm looking forward to binging the rest of the episodes!
