GEEK SQUAD: Girls Kick Ass

Jessica-Jones-Season-2-Poster

 

Jessica Jones season 2 debuts on Netflix tonight. It’s been more than two years since the super-powered private detective Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) defeated the mind controlling rapist Killgrave (David Tennant). Killgrave dominates the first season’s plot with his ability to literally tell everyone what to do. So where does the show go after killing him off at the end of season one? Trailers suggest that Jessica will fight another person with her powers this season so one could expect a bit more action than the psychological thriller. But the mystery of how Jessica (and possibly others) got their power is still around to slowly unravel. What we know so far: she survived a car crash that killed the rest of her family and she woke up with super powers and paid medical bills. Her best friend, former child TV star and current radio host Trish Walker (Rachael Taylor), is continuing her own character development into the hero Hellcat as she watches Jessica’s back. Despite a lack of powers Trish kicked her share of ass last season thanks to Krav Maga. Other than that expect Jessica to continue dealing with her PTSD from Killgrave’s abuse by constantly drinking and insulting everyone she comes into contact with. — RICHARD SUPLEE
