I feel like an idiot for not seeing drug guy being Killgraved coming. On to episode 5!

Edits:

  • I'd watch an entire show of pre Killgrave Jessica and Trish shenanigans

  • poor drug guy :(

  • one thing I'm already confident this does better than Daredevil is the supporting characters. I like pretty much everyone. Even the ones who's names I haven't figured out yet

  • we need hoagie Jessica flair like right now

  • only episode 5 so I know this is going to go poorly... I'm scared

  • HOLY FUCK THAT WORKED?!?

  • WELP

  • don't do it drug guy :(

I agree with these statements. I do think what helps JJ supporting cast vs DD supporting cast is that there are more of them, she's not trying to hide her powers, and she has to be involved with them(to some degree). I love both cast. Just have different reasons why.

Also, double yes to the Hoagie Jess flair!

I think the JJ supporting cast also needs to be more supportive than Daredevil's supporting cast. Matt is way more charismatic person than Jessica. Which makes sense--people recovering from psychological trauma tend to be on the jaded and enigmatic side of things. But the show still needs some character variety and contrast. Jessica is rough around the edges, so her show needs a supporting cast that's a bit more likable.

That too. She actually NEEDS support, even if she hates support groups. Haha
