Jessica Jones TV show

Did you like Jessica Jones? Have you read Alias comic?
Jessica Jones was adapted from the comic, and therefore changes/additions to the plot are very noticeable and often odd. Imagine watching a Batman movie where suddenly Batman is obsessed with baseball? Wouldn't that seem a little off? Incongruent?
Jessica Jones herself in the comic is a mess but in the TV show every relationship is wildly dysfunctional. The only heterosexual marriages/successful relationships were Hope's parents and Kilgrave's parents. Hope kills her parents whilst under mind control and Kilgrave kills his own.

Every other heterosexual relationship is a mess: brother & sister living together in a strangely noisy/violent incestuous (?) situation, casual sex between psycho cop/TV celebrity, between powered non-heros Jessica and Cage.
The whole Hogarth love triangle is a bizarre new element to the TV show. Jones in the comic gets work from Matt Murdoch. Hogarth was introduced as a new character. But why?
