History Series / JessicaJones2015

** The season 2 has a brief appearance by the Whizzer, who was Robert Frank in the comics but is Robert Coleman here.
* AdaptationalSexuality: Along with GenderFlip. Jeryn Hogarth is a straight man in the original comics. In the show, Jeryn "Jeri" Hogarth is a gay woman.

** [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Carol Danvers]] has her role as Jessica's best friend taken by Trish Walker, a character which had no involvement with Jessica Jones in the comic. Carol Danvers would pop up in the MCU when in [[Film/CaptainMarvel2019 her own movie]].
** [[ComicBook/XMen Jean Grey]] does not appear in the series, as the rights to the X-Men are [[ScrewedByTheLawyers tangled with Fox]]. In the comic, she had a [[SmallRoleBigImpact brief but crucial]] appearance in being able to help Jessica to resist Kilgrave's power.

** Jessica is an unwilling part of one with Ruben and Robyn. Robyn is suspicious of Jessica's intentions and acts like a cross between a jealous girlfriend and a BelovedSmother. When Kilgrave asks Ruben why he brought Jessica banana bread and he replies that he loves her, even Ruben seems a bit surprised.

* LoveTriangle: At the start of the series, Jeri and Wendy are married, but Jeri is having an affair with Pam, her secretary. Wendy discovers the situation in the second episode and she and Jeri begin a very acrimonious divorce, with [[DivorceIsTemporary Jeri believing that Wendy is making it so difficult because she hopes that Jeri will come back to her if Jeri and Pam's relationship falls apart.]] [[spoiler:By the end of the season, Wendy is dead at Pam's hands after Jeri attempts to use Kilgrave's power to force Wendy to sign their divorce papers. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Kilgrave is so disgusted by Jeri that he orders Wendy to slowly kill her]], and Pam then kills Wendy to defend her.]]

The first season, released on November 20th, 2015, stars Creator/KrystenRitter as ComicBook/JessicaJones, a [[RetiredBadass former superhero]] who became a {{private detective}} after a [[DarkAndTroubledPast traumatic incident]] with a mind-controller named [[ComicBook/PurpleMan Kilgrave]] (Creator/DavidTennant) ended her short-lived career as a crime-fighter. When Kilgrave returns out of nowhere, she's forced to confront her demons and prevent him from hurting others.

A third season was ordered on April 12, 2018 and released on June 14th, 2019. On February 18, 2019, it was announced the show was canceled along with ''Series/ThePunisher'', effectively ending the Marvel original series run on Netflix and making the third season its last. The show also has the distinction of being the only Marvel-Netflix series to be cancelled ''before'' the release of its final season. Joining the cast for the third and final season include Jeremy Bobb as [[ComicBook/{{Foolkiller}} Gregory Sallinger]], Creator/BenjaminWalker as Erik Gelden, and Aneesh Sheth as Gillian.

* YourCheatingHeart: Jeri is cheating on her wife with Pam. Her wife Wendy found out, and they're undergoing a bitter, messy divorce.

* BigBad: Kilgrave is the source of all the first season's conflict, in addition to being Jessica's personal nemesis. [[spoiler: While he dies in the first season finale, his impact on Jessica is still felt through the rest of the series, and he appears as a hallucination in the next two seasons when Jessica is at her lowest]].

* BigBad:
** Kilgrave is the source of all the first season's conflict in addition to Jessica's personal nemesis. Defeating him drives the plot forward.
** PlayedWith in season 2, where although [[spoiler:Jessica's mother]] fills the "villain", she's not really a villain per se but more of a victim of circumstances.
** Gregory Sallinger/Foolkiller is this in third and final season.

* RRatedOpening: The opening scenes for both seasons involve Jessica spying on sexual affairs.

* CityOfWeirdos: Many of the secondary characters in Jessica's neighborhood are shown to be far more quirky than the ones in ''Series/Daredevil2015}''. Besides Jessica herself, her fellow neighbors include Malcolm, a social worker [[HiddenDepths forced by Kilgrave into becoming a junkie]], and Robyn and Ruben, a pair of seemingly incestuous twins.
** In season 2, Robyn and Ruben are gone and replaced with Oscar and his son Vido.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: That is quite a blender.

* SuperSoldier: The mysterious 'IGH' organization is running a super soldier program using medication to give soldiers advanced healing and physical abilities. Red pills bring on the advanced abilities, white pills allow the user to maintain them, and blue pills bring them down so their bodies do not succumb to over-exertion. [[spoiler:There is also some currently unexplained connection between IGH and Jessica herself]].
** We see more affected people in season 2. [[spoiler:Turns out IGH was really a back-alley organization several times too small for the science they were trying, shut down years ago after Karl Malus started to suspect his co-worker Kozlov of trying to siphon off their work to create supersoldiers when IGH really wanted to explore healing people and giving them powers.]]

** [[Comicbook/AntMan Scott Lang]] appeared in the comic as Jessica's other major love interest and Luke's rival for her affections. Like Carol, he is completely omitted here, appearing in the ''Film/AntMan'' film.

* AnachronicOrder: In regards to the movies, while the show was released after ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' and ''Film/AntMan'', the events of the show occur in early 2015, placing it before the events of both movies.

* DrinkOrder: Whiskey. LOTS of whiskey. It solidifies Jessica's status as both a badass and an alcoholic.

* {{Crossover}}: Naturally, with the other Netflix heroes in ''Series/TheDefenders'', with Jessica appearing prominently and Trish, Malcolm, and Jeri playing more minor roles. Trish's radio show Trish Talk is also heard once or twice in other series, and Jeri makes a cameo in the second season of ''Daredevil'' and shows up across multiple episodes in ''Iron Fist'''s first season.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Jessica's superpowers let her throw people with one hand despite lacking mass. Her lack of mass does mean that she can occasionally be thrown around as well. Possibly subverted in that Luke, who has SuperStrength ''and'' is a lot physically larger than Jessica, is also shown as being stronger than her - though it's possible that his brand of superpowers is just more advanced than her brand of superpowers.

* DisappearedDad: Trish's abusive, controlling mother is talked of a lot, and makes an appearance later by flashbacks and in the present. Her dad is not mentioned or seen though. There's a strong implication that he may have divorced her.

* AmoralAttorney: Jeri Horgarth here is the kind of lawyer who manipulates juries into thinking "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" means "you need thirty witnesses and a video of the defendant doing it". [[TookALevelInKindness She greatly cleans up the act by the time of]] ''Series/IronFist2017''.
