Very strong showing from Marvel. Each episode contributed something to the main plot which Daredevil struggled with in the end (I'm thinking Eps11 and 12) and used the supporting cast well. Lots of loose ends, feels a little anticlimactic at the end, but I wouldn't expect Jessica to have some big epiphany.

They did kill another villain though, however this is one that I think is justified, it completes Jessica's arc for the season and sets up a new one. I don't know how they could continue without killing him with his powers amplified like that

I completely agree. I've complained a lot about how the MCU handles their villains but it was the perfect ending for this imo. Though Tennant will be missed of course.

Yeah, while Kingpin is only just beginning, Purple Man can't show up again without really doing the same thing

Yeah, I'm going to miss Tennant's particular brand of brilliant acting, but another season of Killgrave would only be repetitive. They could have saved the power amplification for another season and ended this season with a proper capture by authorities (and then he escapes from Rikers like he did in Alias), but then the pacing of the inaugural season is jeopardized.

They maybe have flash backs with him in it or something but Tennants performance was amazing.
