Ritter’s Jessica Jones remains the most compelling, evocative and dynamic character in Netflix’s Marvel canon. A pity poor Jessica doesn’t think so.

Season 2 of Marvel’s Jessica Jones does all it needs to--which is to say, it brings Ritter’s fantastic interpretation of Jessica Jones back to TV, with every ounce of shadowed malice and explosive desire on display.

The second season is the weakest of the three, but still very much watchable. Slow at the beginning, but it picks up later on. Some people didn't like the villain, but I did.

Marvel's jessica jones second season is great because we finaly get to know more about her past and about someone and also beacuse Christine Ritter continues to best portray the character.

The first three episodes meander, looking this way and that at threats new (professional competition) and old (Janet McTeer as a shadowy figure from Jessica’s past). Then slowly but surely, the season begins to take shape.

This is one dark show. Good, but dark. And slow, mainly because it’s more interested in people’s emotional interiors than in moving the plot along as quickly as it can.

Jessica Jones remains a show with an impeccable sense of its desired themes and undercurrents. Where the first five episodes sent to critics stumble a little is in translating the subtext into the text, building a plotline so that what Jessica and company struggle against in the episodic and ongoing storylines is as compelling as what's going on in Jessica's head.

The early episodes of the season make a lot of room for fairly static character development, with proportionally less attention paid to the traditional genre pleasures, like atmosphere and action, which were central to the first season’s invigorating noir-superhero synthesis. ... The apparent new villain is murkier in motivation, less overtly frightening and less charismatic. That’s the most significant onscreen change in the show, and it’s a bummer.

The second [season], alas, grinds along so slowly as to significantly blunt its appeal, feeling less connected to its comic-book origins and more like an ABC drama where the protagonist occasionally puts her fist through a wall.

In a way the story feels worse than the first time around because it's not following a central line toward a clear goal, but at the same time there's a realism to this more unfocused and shifty way of doing it that just works well for what this particular season is trying to do. I wouldn't like to see the same formula attempted again anytime soon, but in this one case I will say it somehow just worked for me, against all odds and usual preferences. The series is fresh on so many levels it's hard not to classify it as one of the best superhero productions I've ever seen, a close second to "Unbreakable" (2000) and far above anything else we've been getting on the big screen lately (not counting comedy-superhero movies, of course). [P.S. The critics are closer to the true average on this one, for the simple reason that the score of this show is being artificially lowered by some fanatics originally organized in a FB group to downvote Black Panther. If you look at the critic rating on MC and also other user and critic ratings on other websites you will find averages of 7.0 and higher everywhere except here. This is because MC are not doing anything to prevent organized vote-rigging in the user section.]

No sé cómo pudo empeorar tanto de una temporada a otra, no tiene ni la más mínima gracia.

Not a great second season. Still dark and moody but an ordinary and lazy main story and lack of a main protagonist disappoint.

Really enjoyed the first season of Jessica Jones. The main characters were compelling. Season 2 removed two roles that made the first season fun to watch (Kilgrave and Simpson). I was looking forward to Simpson being the next villain of the series which didn't happen, in fact, he was removed from it. Season 2 plays out at a much slower pace with heavier dialogue and less compelling new roles. To me Season 2 was almost half as good as Season 1. I'm noticing repetition in all the Netflix Marvel series being 40 minutes of dialogue and 5 minutes of action towards the end. Over and over. The current team/s working on the different series probably need to be re-motivated or let go to allow for a positive effect on the state of Marvel series.
