Jessica Jones Season 3 Review Round-Up
This month marks the end of an era for comic book fans, as the partnership between Netflix and [...]

"Unfortunately for fans of the Defendersverse, this show — and this corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, for that matter — fails to go out with a bang, rather limping into the night with a whisper. When it comes to Jessica Jones Season Three, an overwhelming chunk of the season is entirely forgettable, lost in the ether while it tries to find footing and decide what it wants to be."

"The character's stint in The Defenders was as forgettable as everyone else's, and the second season of the series simply paled in comparison to the first. Now, with the final, third season upon us, it can be said that Jessica Jones, as with the entire Netflix corner of the Marvel universe, is going out with a whimper… not a bang."

"As always, Jessica Jones follows the titular super-powered detective as she chases down leads, fights bad guys, and wrestles with her own soul-crushing nihilism. Krysten Ritter remains an inspired casting choice, and her version of this character retains all the complexity she's always had. You want Jessica to get it together, but at the same time, it's hard to argue with her worldview. Almost everything about Jessica Jones' last season is great, but the show really works because of Ritter."

"While the end is nigh for the Netflix MCU, in true Jessica Jones fashion, the show shrugs it off with a passive-aggressive 'Whatever.' In its final hurrah, the Peabody-winning Jessica Jones confidently does its own thing with total disregard that the sky has officially fallen."

"This season—which was set to be showrunner Melissa Rosenberg's final season anyway—is a dark story, probably the least comic book-y of Netflix's already grounded and gritty pocket of the MCU. It doesn't always work and does suffer from the same pacing issues that have plagued, well, pretty much all of these shows. But when it hits, it hits just like its main heroine; violent, flawed, and willing to go where her more moral superhuman peers wouldn't dare."

"After casting Jessica as a self-destructive loner in the first two seasons, season 3 wisely gives her more screen time with her adoptive sister Trish Walker (Rachael Taylor). Determined to follow in Jessica's footsteps, Trish gained superpowers last season. Since then, she's become another one of New York's street-level vigilantes, obsessed with "doing the right thing" even when she's clearly doing more harm than good, with little thought for the consequences. Meanwhile, Jessica—who actually does understand the complicated reality of superheroism—is now on a more even keel, hiring a businesslike new assistant (Aneesh Sheth) to organize Alias Investigations."
