The third season offers a new dramatic series, where there is new collaboration with Trish to explore Salinger. Now, Jessica is working on a stunning discovery that could change course and there is a Jerry plot to explore Peter, but the plot may have unexpected consequences. On the other hand, the police are trying to find more evidence at the scene of the heinous crime, where Jessica and Trich race to find more.
Though it began as the one Marvel/Netflix series with the most potential, Jessica Jones has seen its quality dip precipitously with each subsequent season.
If you were hoping to see this era of Marvel Television sail off in the sunset with fireworks and acclaim, you're simply out of luck. Despite falling flat throughout, a few great performances manage to save the season from complete and utter despair.
We can definitely call it a comeback. Jessica Jones returns as the hardboiled detective with the superpowered punch, which makes the start of season three deep, dark, and dynamic. It may not reach the level of S1 but it's a solid close.
As a final season arc, it simply doesn't hold the kind of water it needs to, to take the show to the kind of satisfying conclusion fans are going to want.
It's a make-up story following an ugly breakup, interwoven into a dark, sinuous television universe that has continuously emulated our own, corrupt society so effortlessly.
Jessica's 'what makes a hero?' path this season is given plenty of heavy-handed lip service but it feels more like telling than showing, especially as Luke Cage Season 2 handled similar questions much more deftly.
Jessica Jones' second season was a disjointed mess, and creator and showrunner Melissa Rosenberg has learned from her mistakes. The plots and themes of season 3 are much more tightly interwoven, even if they're not all created equal.
