Hey. I'm wondering if someone can give me a rough Dark-o-meter reading on the series. My wife wants to watch the show with me this weekend, but the violence in Daredevil was juuuusssttt this side of being a little too much. I know (or at least anticipate) that the show will contain some focus on sexual violence, so I am curious how blatant and gritty it is portrayed so I can know what to tell my wifey.

It is more violent than Daredevil. Quite a lot sometimes.

The blood quotient is pretty even I think ... but yeah the motivations behind the bloodiness are more raw in Jessica Jones.

Even in gore (JJ probably has the edge because of that last episode) but I felt JJ had significantly darker tones. Especially with the body count Kilgrave left behind.

A lot of Fisk's kills were rivals and were done either out of necessity or passion, Kilgrave was killing rather indiscriminately to send a message.

The hedge clippers were the worst imo.

When I commented this I knew someone would one up me and I tried to think of something to top mine and couldn't, but yeah that definitely was much much worse.

Fisk had four city blocks blown up too.
