Okay, I just finished the finale about an hour ago. Great rising action, but the part where she killed Kilgrave just didn't really live up to the show. I expected more of a struggle, you know? Not saying all the people mind controlled at the dock wasn't a struggle, but I at least expected Kevin himself to put up a fight. Not by threats or anything like that, just a fight.

And DD and JJ are pretty similar. While the fights are different, as Jantje132 pointed out, they're still fights. They still have important supporting characters (Ruben and Hope/Mrs.Cardanes and Ben) die at the hands of the main villain, directly or indirectly.

The villain is taken care of by the end of the season, protagonist gets claimed a hero, and there are still some mysteries to solve. Both of the main villains are male and have a love interest, along with the fact that they didn't have the best history with their dad (In Kevin's case, his mom as well). What their parents did made them who they are. Don't forget that they have their ways (threats/mind control) to make people work for them.

Both protagonists are orphans and have flashbacks to what happened and what they were like. Matt and Jessica both have love interests (Claire/Luke), but things don't end the best between them.

So yeah, there are differences, but still a bunch of similarities.
