[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 6763982, member: 710"] The most important similarity to Daredevil was basically that it was tight story-telling, with a lot of focus on the characters. It does stuff a big screen movie couldn't do. I love it and I am looking forward to any continuations or other Netflix series of this type. Particularly about Jessica Jones is that I really like the "Noir" type of story-telling. An interesting aspect is that both shows are more grounded in reality than Avengers or Agents of SHIELD. Our heroes get really beaten up (well, the ones that can be beaten up) and have to deal with it for a while, and the action is not as over-the-top. In a way of course, I guess this also makes these shows rather cheap to make - you don't have to bring the full CGI and SFX palette. But that's great since more time is spend on story and characterization. It's not just a metaphor for rape - it's also explicitly rape. But I guess Killgrave nails down the aspect of absolute helpless even further, because he can make anyone do anything, and no one can resist or fight him. And the show really communicates that feeling. [/QUOTE]
