. Marvel’s Jessica Jones (Netflix: 2015-2019)
The first season of Marvel’s Jessica Jones remains its best, but the Krysten Ritter-led Netflix drama is commendable throughout. Created by Melissa Rosenberg, the slow burn reveals of Jessica Jones uncovered a complex, vulnerable superhero over its three seasons. The show was committed to letting Jessica revel in her immense fighting abilities, and also made space for her to process long-simmering PTSD with the help of old friends and new connections. The combination made Jessica Jones a riveting action drama, and the second best of the Netflix-Marvel shows. Ritter’s magnetic performance, as well as David Tennant’s villainous turn as the genuinely scary Kilgrave, added to the magic. [Saloni Gajjar]
