Jessica Jones: Netflix's New Superhero

And why you should be watching it.

the character may not be as well known, but her small screen debut on the online netflixs has been heavily trailed and highly anticipated.

The reviews have been really positive reviews not enough and after watching a first couple of episodes I totally agree - Yes, Jessica Jones is yet another hit for Marvel Studios.

It's an actual 13 episode big budget, mainstream, female-led show! Seeing as both Marvel and DC have only one female led superhero movie on their current slates, it’s undeniably significant that Jessica Jones has happened.

After all, that didn’t look set to be the case for a number of years, with another version – A.K.A. Jessica Jones – in development at ABC alongside a Hulk project which was also scrapped. Jessica Jones now joins Supergirl as one of only two female led superhero TV shows, but they really couldn’t be any different.

They’re both great, but Jessica Jones is more grown up, dealing with mature content which ends upmaking this less of a superhero TV show and more of a drama which just so happens to include powers.
