Jessica Jones: the dark(est) side of Marvel.

Yep, the brand that brought you Captain America, Spider-Man and Rocket Raccoon also brings you parricide, oral sex and rape-baby abortions... You know, fun for the whole family!

The tone is probably closer to Hannibal than to Daredevil, so it's probably not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It helps that the characters are extremely fleshed-out, but it's also a lot funnier than Daredevil, thanks to Krysten Ritter's snarky performance. If you enjoy R-rated grimdark super hero stories in the vein of Watchmen, then you'll probably enjoy this show.
