After we follow the rise of Matthew Murdock in the first season of Daredevil, it's time to get out a bit from the traditional universe of heroes and meet Jessica Jones, second production result of a partnership between Marvel and Netflix. Despite the show being the other side of the same coin, do not expect to find a protagonist who goes around trying to save the entire city. Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) has no code name, but is known as the retired heroin, alcoholic detective traumatized and full time. Set in Hell's Kitchen, troubled and dangerous neighborhood of New York, Jessica Jones since her debut episode starts with a great reference series Alias comics. The ambiance created by the producer and creator of the series, Melissa Rosenberg, is what promises to please fans of comics. Besides offering a more adult content than any other production of Marvel - following the Alias mold -, the series brings a protagonist so upset about Jessica comics. Even the show's opening and releasing arts are similar to comics art. All the problems of the past, present and future of Jessica Jones are directly linked to Kilgrave (Human purpura, in Portuguese), villain able to control the mind of anyone who crosses his path. The last of the two characters, however, is unclear in the early episodes. The problems and unhealthy relationship between Jessica and Kilgrave (David Tennant) takes a while to be explained, which gives us a chance to learn more about the current situation of the protagonist. Between bottles of whiskey and sleepless nights, Jessica serves as a private detective solving cases of treason and looking for missing relatives. Besides, it still finds time to flirt with Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and attempt recovery of his friendship with Trish Walker (Rachael Taylor). One of the first cases in the investigative series involves Hope (Erin Moriarty), youth who will end up being one of the pillars of emotional Jessica over the episodes. The drama involving Hope begins and ends in a shocking way, bringing one of the best turns of the series. In the midst of it all, Jessica still maintains a relationship based on professional and personal interests, with Harper lawyer (Carrie-Anne Moss), whose subplot does not arouse any interest and is completely depleted by the central narrative. Said, among other secondary figures, we have Malcolm (Eka Darville), charismatic and faithful neighbor Jessica and Will Simpson (Wil Traval) cop who ends up being a victim of Kilgrave. While Malcolm fills well the sidekick of protagonist space, Simpson's story can get a little confused in the last episodes of the season for those who are not familiar with the Marvel comics. The turning point in the life of a police officer, however, is a full plate for fans of a certain villain of comic books - without naming names, not to spoil the surprise. As would be expected, Krysten Ritter takes more than good in the role of Jessica Jones. His screen presence always drew attention, but this is definitely the best performance of his career. Ritter manages to find the right balance between all troubled feelings of Jessica - a detective who pretends to have a heart of stone to a traumatized heroine who no longer supports witness the death of innocent people. In addition to shine alone, the actress has an amazing chemistry with all the characters involved in the life of Jessica, including her love interest,
Luke Cage. The David Tennant Kilgrave is spectacular. The actor, known for work on Doctor Who, can conquer the audience to bring elegance to one of the most repulsive and hateful antagonists Marvel. Kilgrave not only invades the mind of innocent people, but also sexually abuses his victims - a subject which, by the way, the series comes with great care and without the same intensity shocking of comics. Even after so much cruelty, obsession and coldness, the presence of Tennant in Jessica Jones is something impossible to get bored. A very special care that the series had was with the fact that, in the comics, Kilgrave is literally purple. On the screens, the color is used not only to make up the costume of the villain, but is also present in the form of lighting, objects and scenarios at various times. In a certain scene, Kilgrave gets so mad at Jessica that the blood vessels of your body turn purple, another great way to play with the favorite color of the villain. If Daredevil brought good fight sequences to the universe of Marvel, Jessica Jones was able to exploit sex scenes in a subtle way and at the same time realistic. Nothing adorned scenes, clichés and blindly loving couples. With 13 episodes, the narrative of the show unfolds unhurriedly and brings twists that sustain and Jessica Jones of the main action scenes. Although some storylines not arouse much attention, secondary characters such as Trish and Malcolm add a satisfactory hint of drama, both for the main narrative as to their own stories. Alongside Krysten Ritter, David Tennant plays the best version the villain Kilgrave could get. It was also a great introduction to the romance between Luke Cage and Jessica, proving that there is plenty of chemistry between the couple of heroes. THE VERDICT Jessica Jones is not a series about superheroes. It's about one of the most adult Marvel characters that, although it has given up the heroine's career, still cares about innocent lives. It's about a woman who must overcome the traumas of the past and face the present. For these reasons, Jessica is the most humanized protagonist of the comic book publisher adaptations (at least for now). Finally, after witnessing two successful productions, my expectations and anxiety about upcoming releases of Marvel and Netflix only increased.
