Finished Jessica Jones!
... and I am MUCH happier with it in the end than I was when I complained about it before. I still stand by my issues in this comment thread (nothing in the final episodes really fixed it; actually it just drove me EVEN CRAZIER that nobody ever tried to shoot Kilgrave from a distance ... or use superstrength to throw things at him ... or come up with a functional PLAN) -- but the final two episodes were pretty much a pure idfest for me. Being forced to try to kill your loved ones! Hurt/comfort! CLAIRE! Trish and Jessica's "I love you" code! Jessica's final fakeout to Kilgrave, and the final scenes where the "become a monster to take down a monster" theme is actually made explicit, and yet it still ends on a note of hope -- ahhhhhh. Very pleased.
So yeah, still have my reservations about certain aspects of the show, but it REALLY nailed my buttons in the last couple of episodes, and went out on a high note that made me look forward to eventually getting more.
And, after the "I love you" scenes, I sincerely hope there are tons of Jessica/Trish out there.

Oh well. It's an issue with the show that I guess I'll just have to live with. I -am- happy you enjoyed it, especially the end. I like how the important people survived.
In the end, though, the show delivered emotionally, and that's mostly what I want anyway. :D
