Marvel's first foray into Netflix programming, "Daredevil," was a runaway success. Though the story teetered in certain places, the series as a whole was met with widespread praise. Critics and fans alike embraced the darker and grittier tone (especially when compared to the happy-go-lucky nature of Marvel's blockbuster films), wildly entertaining fight sequences and especially the MCU's most interesting villain (Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk) this side of Loki.
Now the question is, can they do it all again?
Marvel's "Jessica Jones" will become available for streaming on Friday, November 20. Ahead of the show's release, Netflix has unveiled titles and descriptions for all 13 episodes.
- "AKA Ladies Night: Jessica Jones is hired to find a pretty NYU student who's vanished, but it turns out to be more than a simple missing persons case.
- "AKA Crush Syndrome: Jessica vows to prove Hope's Innocence, even though it means tracking down a terrifying figure from her own past.
- "AKA It's called Whiskey: It won't be easy to acquire or deploy, but Jessica thinks she's found a weapon to use against Kilgrave. Luke and Jessica bond over their similarities.
- "AKA: 99 Friends: A new case demands attention as Jessica tries to find out who's spying on her for Kilgrave. Trish's radio show yields unexpected consequences.
- "AKA The Sandwich Saved Me: Despite Jessica's objections, Trish's new friend Simpson gets involved in the hunt for Kilgrave. Jessica recalls a pivotal moment in her life.
- "AKA You're a Winner: Luke hires Jessica to help him find someone who may have skipped town, but she fears he'll learn too much about her history in the process.
- "AKA Top Shelf Perverts: Malcom, Simpson and Trish go rogue to prevent Jessica from carrying out an extreme plan to outwit Kilgrave.
- "AKA WWJD: Jessica experiences a strange homecoming courtesy of Kilgrave. Hograth's conflict with her estranged wife reaches a tipping point.
- "AKA Sin Bin: Just when Jessica has Kilgrave right where she wants him, Hograth's involvement complicates the situation. Details of Kilgrave's past emerge.
- "AKA 1,000 Cuts: A discovery has the potential to change the entire game - if Jessica can refuse Kilgrave's offer.
- "AKA I've Got The Blues: Jessica searches morgues for clues. Trish goes all out to keep Simpson from getting in Jessica's way. Malcom has an epiphany.
- "AKA Take a Bloody Number: The hunt for Kilgrave reunites Jessica with Luke. Trish receives some unexpected information about Simpson and Jessica.
- "AKA Smile: Jessica and Luke get help from someone else in the neighborhood. Kilgrave gears up for a major test of powers against Jessica."
As you can see, there are a handful of very interesting story details that can be gleamed from just these brief descriptions. Similar to "Daredevil," it sounds as if David Tennant's Kilgrave aka The Purple Man will loom large over the first season as Fisk did. While we're on the topic of Daredevil, the last episode's reference to "someone else in the neighborhood" is likely pointing to the fellow Hell's Kitchen crime fighter. Could Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock/Daredevil be appearing? It would make a ton of sense.
