Jessia Jones and Other Things
Jun. 16th, 2019 06:42 pmWell, not much to report today.
I did a binge watch of Jessica Jones since Friday. I have watched all the thirteen episodes from Season 3. Without giving anything away much, it was a sad ending for one of the protagonists, but I guess, they went too far even though I thought that they did Jessica a favour.
Still, a very enjoyable series and that we shall see no more on Netflix. It marks the end of a small-screen experiment that helped pave the way for streaming’s big hitters. Netflix axed the series along with The Punisher, which had just aired its second season. Because the streaming service had already cancelled Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist months earlier, the move effectively ended Marvel’s output on Netflix, the studio’s attempt to create a set of interconnected TV shows that would serve as the dark and gritty antidote to its big-screen offerings. In the first series, it examined its protagonist’s life after she’d tried the whole hero thing, failed, and thought she’d escaped from her tormentor, Kilgrave (David Tennant), the mind controller who’d made her his pet. Leaning heavily into noir— Jessica works as a private investigator and has a penchant for brown liquor and grim voice-overs— the show was about an abusive relationship and its aftereffects.
Critics, in their eulogies, have speculated that the creation of Disney+, Disney’s own streaming platform, meant that Netflix opted to purge its library of Marvel titles rather than compete. They’ve also pointed to the waning popularity of the shows: Netflix rarely releases viewing data, but the marketing-analytics firm Jumpshot concluded that The Defenders had been the least-viewed Marvel series in its release month. However, since Disney has bought the MCU franchise there may be hope for these series on their streaming channel.
So what will we get on that channel?
Loki
WandaVision
The Falcon and Winter Soldier
Anyway, I am taking it easy for the big day tomorrow. Just hope my payment from Market Force and Ipsos GFK come in as it is getting tight on the old finances again. And the payment from Tern for the five Subways has been delayed now till the 24th, WTF!!!

Just Wondering
Jun. 16th, 2019 08:30 pmDo you consider yourself religious or spiritual?
What was the best phase of your life?
What is a friendship deal breaker for you? Do you have a different set for online friends as opposed to RL friends?
