I can hardly express how delighted I am with how this series turned out. With something like a dozen superhero shows on TV, I'm thrilled that one of them has truly hooked me, with a well rounded female lead to boot! I can still recall Birds of Prey as an example of how a show like this can go catastrophically wrong.

While I thought Daredevil was a cut above other attempts at comics-to-television, JJ has managed to outshine it. Most notably I think the characters in JJ are consistently excellent, while those of DD had a few misses among the hits. Their backstories are extremely well fleshed out and interesting. I've seen a number of TV shows lately that make consistent use of flashback and I generally take it as an opportunity to check my email, but JJ remarkably managed to keep me glued to the screen. And it simply can't be ignored what a refreshingly terrific villain Kilgrave is. Sadistic, charismatic, pitiful, yet all around likable, Tennant's act is going to be tough to follow.
