Just finished watching all of Jessica Jones and, a few misteps aside, it was generally very good stuff. It did get a bit comic book-y at a certain point and a number of the characters felt like superfluous filler (especially the mental neighbour sister woman, I don't think I've ever wished death on a fictional character quite as much before; just shut up and fuck off you wanker) but it rallied again nearer the end and overall it was good stuff.
I do wonder about the wisdom of giving it a second series though simply because

the character was so defined by her past with Kilgrave that, with him dead, I'm sceptical they'll be able to do anything quite as good with any subsequent series. On the other hand it's good they killed him off because after his very strong introduction I felt he lost a lot of his menace as things progressed and if they'd let him live he would just have been really fucking annoying in a second series.
I'm actually a bit torn about him in general. At the start the entire idea of him is genuinely fucking chilling. More so even than galactic level baddies like your Thanoses and whatnot there's something utterly terrifying about the havoc he can wreak on individual lives and the straight up terror you'd feel if he turned his attentions on you, especially given how much of a total sociopath he is. The worst you could really fear from almost anyone else is that they kill you, which is what it is. But the idea that he could spend minutes or years or any amount of time in between casually violating your free will is just fucking
brrrrrr. As things progressed though he started to seem, I dunno,
whiny? I mean the progression of the character made complete sense and the way they even managed to make you feel fleetingly sympathetic for him was a credit to the writing, but along the way he somehow totally lost the compelling edge he originally had. And that was long before you find out about

Jessica's immunity to him.
Actually, that last plot point made her seem a bit stupid in retrospect. The scene with

her walking away from him just before he gets hit by the bus is flashed back to loads of times and it's clearly shown that he tries a couple of times to get her to obey him without success and yet she never questions it at any time. I mean it's a clever twist and works really well in context of her voluntarily spending time with him and his claim that he didn't force her to do anything on principle (when really it's because he no longer can), but the fact that it's been obvious the entire time sort of undermines it a bit. I think it would've been a more effective reveal if there had been no hint of it at all right up until the last moment.
Those are fairly minor criticisms though and overall I thought it was excellent.
tl;dr: Jessica Jones is very good and people should watch it.
