'Jessica
Jones' Season 2 is a bit of an

Marvel's Jessica Jones Season 1 is one hell of an act to follow. It opened on an abrasive alcoholic and her deeply ingrained trauma, on a double homicide of parents by their daughter, and Marvel's most fearsome small screen villain, if not an

It shouldn't come as a surprise, then, that
Jessica Jones Season 2 feels immensely slow by comparison.

Daredevil Season 1 establishing Hell's Kitchen.
