First season was an 8.5/9. This was so bad, 3.5-4, and that's being generous. Poor writing. Poor directing (Jeri's awkward dance in her apartment early on). Poor editing (was it necessary to play the entirety of 'I Want Your Cray Cray'? Would playing 1 minute as opposed to 3 minutes not have the same effect but cut out some filler? Very indicative of the editing of the season as whole, scenes play for way too damn long, scenes that already smack you over the head with very superficial dialogue)
Didn't care for scenes with Malcolm. Didn't care for scenes with Trish (who becomes increasingly annoying and one-note). Didn't care for scenes with Jeri. Really ruined Jeri's character (outside of a classic Jeri move in episode 12). Really disrespected Simpson's character. I would've hated the character of Alisa a lot more if it weren't in the hands of Janet McTeer. Likewise, Krysten Ritter is the only thing keeping me from completely feeling like season 2's Jessica is a mere shadow of the complexity and snark of season 1. It's hard to tell whether I hated s2 of Daredevil or s2 of Jessica Jones more, but they've had the same effect: I feel nothing, maybe relief even, that Netflix has cancelled a lot of the Marvel shows over the past two weeks and the remaining shows might not be long for this world when their committed upcoming seasons are finished.

One of the biggest season 1-to-season 2 drops I've experienced. It was torture forcing myself through the season.
