It is. Beautifully so. I have seen all the episodes.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's a slow burn, but about halfway through, it heats up and then I'm screaming a lot.
I was more into Daredevil for a lot of reasons, and this is a very different show, but it's a really good one.

Hey. New board.
Sigh. I wish my recognition of quality story overcame my desire not to be freaked out and depressed.

There's nothing wrong with not wanting to watch things that freak you out and depress you. It's just unfortunate that most examples of "quality story" take that route.
Welp, you've always got Master of None.

Compassionately intolerant
PC must be reading my mail.
I got through a few episodes of Jessica Jones and had to skip to the end.
It was just a bit too gritay for me.
I then, immediately, switched to Master of None.
Heh.

I'm not a fan of uber-gritty. The character has to have a chance to experience some joy--and not just so the writers can take it away from the character to prove how gritty and edgy and "real" they are. I don't do torture porn, physical or mental.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm 4 eps in and I'm liking it much more than Daredevil. There was one fight that had me cringing from the sheer brutality, but it was appropriate for the story. I'm hooked.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm also 4 eps in and liking it very much.
ETA and somehow, watching JJ before bed has led to me dreaming about a Captain America movie featuring a character who runs around wearing bright pastel saris and matching sneakers. I'm not sure if she's a god guy or a bad guy - I suspect her figuring that out was a significant chunk of the plot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
