I think this show, or at least this season, it's about agency. Who has it, who doesn't, and what do they do to give it and take it away.

Well, like you mentioned, insensitive.
Also, humans are a creature of habit. To Wendy, that restaurant was everything. To Jeri it seems like it was her Tuesday lunch spot.

But if you are going for reality, each case would take five, ten episodes - procedurals tend to compress a timeline in one episode, which is why miraculous discoveries are done.

I thought that it was her PTSD.

Well, she met a different wolf in this show.

You can make the argument that she forgets too.

And at the center of each shrine the restraining orders?

America's Winter

I wouldn't be surprised if that's who Defenders begins.

The girl needed to pee. Kilgrave told her to relieve herself in the closet.

I got Matilda vibes from that line.

Malcolm and Karen are gonna meet, realize in what situation they are in, and in two weeks later we'll have Nelson and Murdock, Attorneys at Law with Private Investigator Jessica Jones.

I don't know why, but at these point so far I can see Malcolm teaming up with Karen into establishing the larger firm of Nelson, Murdock and Associates which includes Alias Investigations, of which Luke becomes a part of.

He had a contingency: all the people were killing each other. They were supposed to keep Jessica from reaching him while he escaped.

I think the introduction was a bit forced. Like the camera immediately zeroed in on her. If they had skipped that first scene it would've been a bit easier.

Yeah, I agree. Everybody's obsessed with Tennant's performance and all I can think of is "he's back as… what? Or what for?"

Was anyone else disappointed that Jessica only snapped Kilgrave's neck? I was expecting her to crush his mandible and rip his tongue out, to be honest.

I gasped. I haven't gasped at a tv show since I was twelve.

I'm not a comics expert (I'm a fake geek boy) but from what I see, this looks like a government agency trying to fight supers with supers, probably by using a modified version of Captain America's super serum, which I bet is what was in the truck when the Jones' accident happened. Jessica is an oddity in the same way…

I'd say it's a show about agency, and how the characters strip each other of it and how they are fighting to reclaim it. Either by manipulation, utilization, there are many points where characters have no agency until they fight back.
