Jessica Jones was another standout in the Marvel Netflix lineup, offering a darker, more intimate take on the superhero genre. Jessica herself is one of the most compelling characters the MCU has put on screen—flawed, haunted by past trauma, trying to make amends, and yet still powerful, sexy, vulnerable, and undeniably heroic. Her struggle to do the right thing while battling her own demons felt genuine and believable in a way few superhero stories achieve.
The first two seasons were especially strong, with complex villains, sharp dialogue, and an emotional intensity that made the show hard to stop watching. Jessica’s work as a private investigator added a grounded layer to the series, showing that even superpowered individuals have to earn a living and navigate everyday problems. It enriched her character and gave the show a gritty noir edge.
Though it lost me a bit in later episodes, Jessica Jones remains one of the most human, relatable entries in the MCU’s television universe.
