 Krysten Ritter is reprising her role of the superhero-turned-private
 eye, entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe by being cast in season two
 of Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again.
 
 Ritter starred as Jones in the eponymous Netflix series in the
 mid-2010s. The series and actress generated considerable acclaim and
 awards at the time and is considered a highlight during the Netflix era
 of Marvel television.

 
 Yay! I love me some Jessica Jones.

 
The series itself was incredibly disappointing. Season #1 was just OK.
Season #2 was, I thought, awful. I don't think I even bothered with
season #3.
 
I like Ritter. But that role/show was mostly a misfire.

Agree to disagree. I liked the whole run. Thought it was great. Wished there
was more.

FYI - I read that when they were casting the Netflix series, it eventually
came down to a choice between Ritter and Alex Daddario for the role. Duckshoot
would also have been a good choice if she'd still been acting.

Maybe Disney+ can do a better job with it than Netflix (it's hard not to
be better at shows than Netflix!). But I am skeptical that they can turn
this one around...

I've only watched three episodes so far, but I think it's one of their better
offerings.
