** And on a meta level, Wil Traval does an amazing job portraying Simpson as a drug addled monster. The creepy repetition of words, the dilated eyes (way to go FX team), the odd cadence...

* The almost unanimous praise ''Jessica Jones'' has received for its handling of the extremely difficult topics of PTSD and rape has really stood out, especially with the amount of controversy the latter subject has caused on television over the past few years and the misuse of it. In the case of ''Jessica Jones'', many are holding it up as a prime example on how to approach the subjects in the medium.
* You might go several episodes before noticing something unusual about the show: the majority of the main cast is female. It's never brought up or discussed, never given any kind of fanfare. It's just a show where the cast skews more to female than male.
* Also a fairly large number of Gay/Lesbian characters appear most of whom are treated exactly the same as anyone else. In particular the Jeri/Wendy divorce battle in series one could have either character gender flipped without making any difference to how it plays out.
* Season 1 winning a 2016 Peabody Award, the first MCU property to get such prestige.
* Becoming the first of the MCU Netflix series to win an Emmy.
* Season 1 had a typical ratio of male to female directors for American TV... meaning only four of the episodes had them. Not so for Season 2, in which ''every'' episode's director is female.

* Simpson's gone off the deep end, but taking down two men with four shots, all perfectly targeted headshots as those men, also trained soldiers, are dodging? Holy shit.
