Featured review
Not Jess's Best
I'll be sorry to see no more of Marvel anti-hero Jessica Jones with the announcement last year of its cancellation but did think this third and final series could was the weakest of the three.
I've not read any of the comics so wasn't aware that Trish would morph into a would-be super-hero (Hellcat, I believe is her moniker) with powers of her own) and too much of the early episodes focused on her coming to terms with this and then trying to convince Jessica to see her in that light. Then later on a handsome hunk rolls into Jessica's life, with wouldn't you know it, his own power to empathetically sense evil within people, except when he's apparently drunk or having sex, both of which engages in quite a lot here.
Anyway the three of them find themselves on the trail of a manipulative serial-killer who seems able to outwit his pursuers at almost every turn. This is the main story-arc and features one shocking murder which will jolt the viewer upright but otherwise you kind of think Jessica and her buddies should have wrapped this case up long before the baddie causes the collateral damage he does.
The main side-plot concerns the terminally ill Jeri Hogarth, who strives to rekindle a passionate love affair she had at college with a classical musician. There are some steamy scenes between them before again a shocking death, indirectly caused by Hogarth's self-serving actions changes that dynamic too. Some coincidences and plot leaps however I found too hard to swallow, prominent amongst them being Hogarth's decision to take on the defence of the serial killer, ostensibly to give her now ailing practice high-profile publicity.
Like I said at the start, I found that a number of the episodes seemed overlong and could have been edited by ten minutes at least. Two of them however did stand out, the one where Jess uncovered the first murder by the evil Salinger and the second the afore-mentioned episode where a member of Jess's extended family meets a terrible end.
Otherwise, despite Krysten Ritter doing a fine job leading the cast through another 13-episode series, I'm afraid I could see the rot setting in. I'm still sad the series is no more but it did seem like the law of diminishing returns was starting to apply.
