the thing is that the original jessica jones show was a beautiful nexus of the most awful women you could fathom to meet. led by our intrepid misanthropic alcoholic ptsd-riddled heroine who violently pushes people away so she can be alone with her own misery, also featuring her cptsd poster child adopted sister who struggles with substance abuse, relentless ambition, and a mountain-sized ego that has her convinced she has a pure and correct grasp of right and wrong above all others, also featuring an unrepentantly unpleasant and unlikeable high-powered lesbian lawyer with a terminal illness who cheats on her wife with a secretary and later instigates the murder of the other lover she took after getting swindled. who else has done wretched women quite like this, in leading roles, without letting you squirm away from either their best or their ugliest aspects
