By taking out the villain v hero dynamic, they allowed this to be more of a character study and focus on the character dynamics. Notably I can't recall any previous instance of a superpowered Mother and Daughter relationship being explored (the dysfunction made interesting). I'm not sure what I felt about Jeryn Hogarths storyline, though seeing how Malcolm picked it up at the end did give it a satisfying outcome. The Trish story seemed a bit messy, but good fan service given that everyone has wanted to know if Hellcat would ever show up. I too was sad to see Nuke killed off so soon though. Having him along for the ride would have been great especially as we still don't known who IGH (the people funding the research) really are. As for padding what was the point of Griffin? Such a big player in the first few episodes but then disappears completely? I was sure he was going to be a bad guy, but ends up being meh.I do wonder if the Powers and Special Protocols mentioned when Alisa is in jail are a result of the Sokovia Accords though, they allow suspension of civil rights and incarceration in the RAFT at least.  But yeah as I stated earlier I'm happy to assume that Jessica is on the SHEILD Index and don't think she did anything (provable) that would get her picked up. She was the victim in Alisa's escape to Canada and none of the killings can be pinned on her directly. Plus from what we've seen of SHEILDS operations, they have a degree of incompetence and if she gets a sympathetic caseworker (like Coulson) she might get a lot of slack given to her. That said in the last episode when Jessica spots the black SUVs, I immediately thought "cool they have got SHIELD in to chase them." In my mind even though the team claimed to be NYPD rather than SHIELD that was just keep everyone from panicking more than usual <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Indeed I'd even go to the extent of imagining that DeCosta is a SHIELD agent put in place to monitor Jessica while posing as a police detective <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="(:" title="Smile    (:"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname="(:" />P).</blockquote>
