Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Marvel's Jessica Jones earns its spot. Marvel's Jessica Jones treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. After a tragic ending to her short-lived super hero stint, Jessica Jones is rebuilding her personal life and career as a detective who gets pulled into cases involving people with extraordinary abilities in New York City. Krysten Ritter and Rachael Taylor lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It ran for 3 seasons (2015–2019), and the writing holds up across every one of them. Marvel's Jessica Jones resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Powers is the obvious comparison, but Marvel's Jessica Jones earns its own place alongside it. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week.
