It’s finally here, the final season of Netflix’s Marvel show Jessica Jones. She has come a long way from her days of chasing down Kilgrave. She was a Defender, met her mother and has grown as a person. SPOILER ALERT: For all three seasons.
Jessica is faced with an enemy that is unlike anyone she has ever faced. He isn’t super powered in any way, just the opposite actually. Gregory Salinger is well-known in the comic universe as Foolkiller but doesn’t use that name in the show. He is an intelligent psychopath that comes across Jessica by accident.
She teams up with her sister Trish, whom she had a rocky relationship after the second season. For those who don’t mind spoilers from previous seasons, Trish is now powered due to an experiment she took part in. More than anything she has wanted to do good in the world and felt qualified to make those decisions. Jessica’s birth mother was the first person to get taken down by Trish. For that, Jessica had rejected her from her life up until Salinger came into the picture.
Most of the viewers know Jessica’s style when it comes to choosing romantic interests. She just happens to come across one that is a super as well but not in areas of super strength. Erik Gelden has the ability to sense the bad in people. Salinger just happens to be one of the ones he decides to mess with, which doesn’t bode well for either Jessica or Erik.
We see the return of other characters such as Jeryn Hogarth and Malcolm Ducasse and the tangled webs that each of them weave. With also special appearances of Luke Cage and Kilgrave!
This season was a roller coaster of emotions for the end of the series. It was bittersweet watching the season progress and all the character I grew attached to become different versions of who they started out as. It wraps up in the most fitting way that Jessica Jones would wrap up. A reluctant hero making the hard choices.
9/10
Jessica Jones is on Netflix now.
