The first episode of Jessica Jones does not go public -and you should turn back now if you’d like to go into the show understanding nothing, though we prevent major spoilers.
Maybe most notably, the show gives the Marvel Cinematic Universe its first lesbian character – and possibly its first queer lead. Carrie-Anne Moss plays Jeri Hogarth, a high-powered lawyer who hires the titular Jessica to serve a subpoena to some heavily-guarded club owner.
After in the episode, Jessica is in need of money and, after dark, drops in to visit an affluent erstwhile companion named Trish.
T’s talk of how Jessica used to discuss her most closely guarded psychological challenges until she pushed Trish away, t’s a palpable and melancholy attraction in their own gazes, and t’s a pleasant surrender to financial kindness on Trish’s part that’s normally earmarked for concerned former lovers.
In a sequence lifted more or less directly in the comic books show Jessica Jones is based on, a blue Jessica finds Luke in the bar he runs and confidently hits on him.
he is coy initially, accusing her of flirting with him, but Jessica says she does not flirt: she just gets what she wants.
Smash cut to Luke on top of Jessica in his bed, going at it with a sexual fury unlike anything Marvel has even come close to putting on screen.
The mere fact that Jessica Jones is even discussing rape and PTSD places it miles ahead of its peers in Marvel’s film and television lineup.
