Huh. I have to say I really loved the show and burned through the episodes very quickly (whereas Daredevil dragged a bit in the middle for me).
I hadn't seen Krysten Ritter in anything since Veronica Mars, so I didn't know what to expect, but she was really great. I think the peripheral characters needed a bit more development, such as her neighbours, and I thought Carrie Anne Moss was a bit terrible. But Jessica Jones and Luke Cage had a LOT of chemistry together, and so did Jessica and Kilgrave except super creepily. I also think Kilgrave's power was just SO terrifying, and put to good use story-wise. The casual way he orders people to do things really showed how he'd never had anyone say 'no' to him before, and even though I found him disgusting, he was also charming and amusing. David Tennant really sold it. And why wouldn't he want to attach himself to a Marvel property? Lucrative and extremely popular, it's a good choice for any actor at the moment.
