Netflix Jessica Jones is based on the graphic novel/comic Alias; which is actually pretty decent. The TV show is not so great. It deviates badly from the source material and becomes a humorless example of how stupid and erratic women can be.
This is Hamlet re-told as a Marvel story. A crime that cannot be proven and a hero(ine) who is essentially a ditherer. You are virtually screaming at the TV for the heroine to act. Instead, she drinks like a fish, sulks, mopes around and behaves impulsively.
My first reaction is that this is a sexist, chauvanistic piece of work designed solely to make women look like total idiots. Every cliche is milked to death. But no... a woman actually wrote this TV show on purpose...!
