There are many types of comics, even amongst the superhero genre. I had never read Jessica Jones' comic, which was called "Alias," but my friend was raving about it at the time. All I remember of his description was that it wasn't a superhero comic. She's a P.I. and has some powers, but it's not about that. She's just a detective who HAPPENS to have powers. That's all he said to me about it. I think he expected me to buy it, but I never got around to it. It was when my comic book buying was waning and I wasn't buying many new ones, if any. Anyway, my point is that you were saying it doesn't seem like a comic show/Marvel show and I was just saying that there's all types and something for pretty much everyone. Comics are popular all over the world but superheroes are only one genre and even in that, there are sub-genres. I like the variety of stories available.

Uh, yea, what the fuck. I'm writing this immediately after finishing the episode and your reaction to it, but before watching your thoughts on it, though those will definitely be interesting to watch. I had expectations about this show. Never having seen any of these MCU shows that were formerly Netflix Originals, I kind of bunched them all together in my head. Obviously now knowing what Daredevil was about and knowing that all the shows were known for being somewhat more dark and "grounded" than many other Marvel shows, I *assumed* that all the shows would be somewhat like that. When I started this episode and saw that Jessica was a Private Investigator, I expected the "PI at day, Vigilante at night, how will she manage?" deal. Having all these previous thoughts about the show turned out to work in my favour because I am so much more impressed, shocked, intrigued and genuinely a little bit shaken up than I ever expected to be, or probably would've been, had I known more going in. First of all, I didn't expect powered individuals to be at play here. I know there's different thoughts on if Daredevil has powers or not, but more or less his show is just about normal people that happen to be heroically inclined and existing in the Marvel Universe. Knowing this now, and considering where this is set in the timeline according to the list that you're following, I have to wonder if Jessica and/or Kilgrave happen to be Inhumans, impacted by the Terrigen Crystals released into the Fish Oil stuff. It's a long shot, given how Kilgrave seems to have been doing this for a while, but then again we (or at least I) don't know how long it's been since the end of AoS S2. It would however explain why Jessica was asked if she's one of "them". This would've been affecting a bunch of people, making her indeed one of "them". Secondly, but more importantly in my opinion, I was so surprised by the portrayal of trauma and (presumably) assault and similar themes in just this first Episode. The scenes with Hope were genuinely disturbing, and I didn't expect that. I am very hooked now and genuinely wondering if I'll be able to wait until each of your reactions comes out to continue watching through this, though I will try. I am just very curious to see how those themes are further explored even deeper into the show. I might write a little reply to this if I have more to say after watching your thoughts section, but if I don't, I also might not.
