Jessica Jones, S01E01- Ladies' Night (Patreon)

Patrons, this is going to be such a treat to cover. I am super excited about it, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts. I wish that I Owen and I could take a few days off and just mainline the whole series and record after each episode. I can't deal with how long it's going to take for us to get to the end of the series! But at the same time, I don't want it to be over,  you know what I'm saying? 

I really loved pretty much everything about this first episode. Jessica is a very real character, her struggle with PTSD from the prolonged psychological manipulation and rape that she suffered is dealt with excellently, and the sketched out characters on the edges of the show feel somehow fully formed and organic. It's a really great piece of writing, and I wish more TV shows would follow suit and see that this is how you deal with female characters. You treat them like fucking PEOPLE. It's a crazy concept, I know. 

I am, of course, as freaked out as it's possible to be about this ending. I mean, there's simply no way that Hope is going to be able to walk away from what she did, and she doesn't understand the powers this man has so she's going to be blaming herself. He has destroyed this woman's life, simply to get to Jessica, and it's disgusting and creepy and I hate it. 

This is going to be good. I can't wait.
