reception

Marvel's Jessica Jones was positively received. According to Der Spiegel, the series “belongs to the best that is currently on TV” and named the main actress Krysten Ritter as a special highlight, who “balances her Jessica Jones brilliantly between demonstratively displayed contempt and painstakingly hidden vulnerability”. Giga.de especially praised the multi-layered character of the protagonist, who staggered "very well [...] between tortured victim, recalcitrant fighter, unbearable puke and courageous companion", and awarded the highest rating of 10 out of 10 points. Oddsmeter.de judged the series to be the best TV comic adaptation so far with "grounded, complex characters, a gloomy, gallant look and a high addiction factor [...]."

Marvel Comics history and references

The series is essentially based on the Marvel series Alias by author Brian Michael Bendis (2001-2004), in which Jessica Jones struggles as a private detective after a failed career as a superhero. The first scene in the series, in which Jessica rams an unruly client through the glass of her front door, pays homage to the opening pages of her debut comic book, Alias ​​# 1 (2001). Bendis stated in later editions that her greatest trauma was brainwashing by the Croatian-born, purple-skinned master manipulator The Purple Man (real name: Zebediah Killgrave). He is introduced on the series as Kilgrave , who is from the UK, and in many appearances he either wears purple or is lit purple. Jones' relationship with her superhero colleague Luke Cage was thematized in both Alias and its follow-up series The Pulse (2004-2006), in which Jones and Cage fall in love, have a daughter named Danielle and finally get married. Patsy Walker (first appearance 1944) was the protagonist of a high school comic of the same name for a long time until she became the superhero Hellcat in 1976 . Both child abuse by her mother Dorothy and her appearances as a child star and teen starlet are an established part of her comic book past. The lawyer Jeri Hogarth is inspired by the character of Jeryn Hogarth from the Marvel comic Iron Fist , but in the series Hogarth is a lesbian woman. Cop Simpson is the reinterpretation of drug addict Marvel super villain Nuke , who swallows red pills to get aggressive. Malcolm is an obsessive superhero fan in the comics that Jessica reluctantly works with. Claire Temple is the implementation of the Marvel character Night Nurse , who appeared in the parallel series Marvel's Daredevil .

Comic for the series

In October 2015, the digital comic Marvel's Jessica Jones # 1 , which is a prequel to the series, was released. The comic also links the series to Marvel's Daredevil. In the comic, Jessica Jones tracks down the head of a drug ring that has failed to support his children. The man was badly beaten by Daredevil and is in the hospital, where Jessica takes his wallet from him in order to send the money owed to her client, the mother of his children.
