It was a good show. The concept about the reluctant superhero is nice. It adds flavor that not every 'super' is out to save the world, but just trying to make a living while having powers.

There were some drawbacks. Killgrave was captured and set free like three times, and then killed. Frankly once or twice is good to drive in the idea that he can't be captured, but three was a little excessive. I disagreed with the casting of Hogarth. I didn't feel like Moss delivered a strong performance for the character, seeming too calm or passive in parts where we needed some more expressions like desperation. And the direction to turn Will Simpson into an antagonist felt too abrupt and forced.

I did like the relationship between Jessica and Trish. The performances were great, and the chemistry of their sister relationship was done well. And I enjoyed seeing Jessica's use her detective skills for leads. Killgrave was an excellent villain (though perhaps the reveal was a little too soon, but that's a minor thing). And I like the history built from Jessica's past with the villain, and how it drove her away from the super hero business.

I'd probably give the show a 85/100. It was enjoyable, and I'll probably watch it again.
