Jessica jones is somehow, very somehow (pardon my local english).. Honestly, i was expecting something more action packed and intrigueing like Daredevil .. The writers of the show made a mistake, they should have at least added one suspense filled and action packed scene per episode... Its a super hero series for christ sake, i have watched 2 episodes and i dont even know her abilities yet.. I only saw her lift a car once.. Hmmm.. This show better be sweet oo.. I cant waste 4gb data.. |

darkenedrebel: There's a great deal of difference between watching a show and liking a show, you know that, right? I mean, you can watch a show, maybe even finish a whole season just for the hell of it, but can you recommend it to someone else? Since you don't like it, that's a big negatory. Your response is therefore invalid. darkenedrebel: Waoh! Holdup, holdup... Did you just said that that?? Like seriously?? Lolz. You're hilarious. You should be a comedian. I'm no expert but then, one doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out why your precious 'Hero Reborn' is filled with suspense and drama - it depends heavily on awe factor to be able to pull in reasonable number of audience per week. News Network Shows don't usually have solid plots, it's a given. Shows with solid plots usher in complications, a lull in the storyline, and as a result, they don't pull in as much audience as ones that are flexible. Remember Hannibal? Solid show, solid plot, brilliant acting, but what happened? It got axed by NBC, because people like you would rather watch shows with flimsy plots but with nonstop action sequence, than spend time on ones that are slow paced but with substance. Thank God for HBO, Showtime, FX, Netflix, Starz and AMC. They don't care much about weekly ratings or demographic. They air quality slow burners in droves and only cancel 'em when funds run out, or ideals dry up. darkenedrebel: Listen, pally, your opinion is insignificant, believe me. Jessica Jones is getting rave reviews where it matters most: Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, TV.Com, IGN, CNN, EW, and so on. @the bold, you know the funny thing? The only scenes I skipped on JJ were the so-called sex scenes, which I must say, were simply too unrealistic for my taste. I don't like to watch sex scenes where the perpetrators hide under bed covers. I mean, what's the point, then? So obviously, JJ's heavily censored sex scenes weren't much of a draw to someone (yours truly) that is used to watching HBO, Cinemax and Showtime shows. darkenedrebel: The only people bad mouthing JJ on YouTube were your kind that don't know a good thing when they see one. You say mediocre, IMDb says 9/I0. You say lethargic, Rotten tomatoes says critical acclaim. You say boring, EW calls it the best Superhero show in aeons. Bottom line: Jessica Jones is a resounding success. 3 Likes |

darkenedrebel: bruh yea youre right da Vinci demons nd Hannibal are fvcking good..but did you just say heroes reborn is good and has interesting characters with good plot r you sure you're not confusing d heroes that had Gabriel grey aka sylar with this present joke airing? |

darkenedrebel: Bros not Hero reborn please, no bearing whatsoever, throw each episode @ you weekly and it's not In sync, bad writing and shitty super heroes.. Please don't do this again. Haven't started Jessica jones yet, buh when ABC,Netflix and Marvel come together to do something, it's sure going to be a good success, daredevil did it, JJ will do well, rotten tomatoes gave it a 91% rating.

koice: when did I ever state that I didn't like them? koice: You said it yourself- Heroes Reborn has the wow factor..It's only cliche, but it is way more exciting to watch than Jessica Jones.. What are movies for if not for entertainment... koice: Stay on the topic...We are not talking about Heroes Reborn here but on how wack Jessie Jones is..Heroes Reborn/Heroes is not even in my Top 20 koice: This is a lame excuse for putting up a shitty show koice: Ir happens on the first few weeks of any newly released series/movie...Longetivity is the key... Jessie Jones is gonna lose fans & ratings soon...I give it 6 months koice: EW calls it the best superhero show in aeons? Proof? and if true, do you expect them to badmouth something they are gaining from? Use your head... If the over 50k Youtubers from all around the globe that called it a crappy show don't know what's good like you opined, then only geeks like you would think it to be a great show..tbh I don't find the show a bit appealing..it's ridiculously wack.....with time you would understand.... 3 Likes 2 Shares |

kingsilly: Fùck rotten tomatoes.. Heroes reborn was only used as an example to depict how horrible Jessica Jones is... Nonetheless it still has a more creative storyline compared Jessica Jones 50 shades of Grey was a shitty movie & it still got more ratings & views than Kim Kardashian's pünani..don't use whatever IMDb & co.says to judge.. 2 Likes |

darkenedrebel: You may have watched Bloodline, The Wire, Breaking Bad, The Leftovers, and Sense8... fine, but what did you make of 'em. Please don't tell me you liked 'em cuz there is no possible way you can like them and not like JJ. They were all made of the same stuffs... storylines deliberately crafted to go far, languid pace. Too them, continuity is supreme. They don't shock and awe immediately or make you grip the edge of your seat, but when they do... the aftershock is usually worth the wait, trust me... or don't. darkenedrebel: You unwittingly reiterated the point I made in my previous post. People like you would rather go for flimsy fun stuff than the solid rugged counterpart. So you don't find JJ fun, big deal. There are some of us that find it more fulfilling rather than waste our time on some melodramatic piece of crap complemented by questionable CGI budget. darkenedrebel:I was on topic. darkenedrebel:And, here I thought I was trying to reason with a sensible guy... hmm darkenedrebel: Lolz. You really don't get it, do you? The rule of longevity only applies if/when the show in question airs on weekly basis (one episode per week), in such case, a show is only as good as it's next episode... but pal, when every episodes of a single season become available to all and sundry on a single day, what do you think will happen then, heh? the rule of longevity will get chunked out the window. It doesn't apply anymore. Whether you want to believe or not, JJ's current rating on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes will stay in their current state till the 2nd season comes out. darkenedrebel: WTH?? EW is a privately owned entertainment supremo and thus, doesn't pay lipservice to anyone. You think say they be Nigerians? Go their website and see what they wrote on 'Super Girl' and your yeye 'Hero Reborn'. @the Bold, you want proof? Don't worry, I'll be posting a proof after Christmas, lolz. I'm not trying to convince you, pal, I'm simply telling you. you're entitled to your opinion, just like everyone that loves JJ is entitled to theirs. Believe or don't believe, accept or don't accept, that's your own wahala. darkenedrebel: How did you know they were over 50k, did you do a head count? I know taste varies and is subjective, but TBH pal, your own need some serious upgrade, like Piimp My Ride On MTV kind of upgrade oh 2 Likes |

darkenedrebel: I don't know why you adamant about heroes reborn being a good series, I'm really astonished, heroes reborn need to be reborn again.. Try get your fact right, I deduce you getting angry but don't worry you'll be fine, 50 shades was never rated upto 50%, it got views because of curios people who followed the book.. You now telling you smarter than panels @ IMDB, Metascore and Roten Tomatoes shows you should hold a pace in their office and get everyone fired Enjoy life lad 2 Likes

darkenedrebel:lol,this was a bit funny. Have you actually seen the full 13 episodes?if not I doubt you will be dropping such erroneous views. This is not your classic superhero gig(apparently not your taste),if you can't recognise the compelling storyline then guy you need to check yourself. 4 Likes |

kingsilly: Did you read my comment at all? I said I only used Heroes Reborn to depict how bad Jessica Jones is.. Which means if Heroes Reborn is bad then J.J is worse.. When 50 shades first came out it was rated 95% In reddit it was up to 80 something... What you don't know is that it varies overtime...due to review accumulated as time passes... The movie/series that was a hot cake at the time of its inception may plummet tomorrow.. & I'm not angry..neither should you call me lad... 1 Like |

KOLZY: No mind that guy jare. Some people look out for all the wrong things on TV shows. On JJ, I don't know yet, but I imagine it would be around november period 2016. Sucks, right? I know. But good news... Luke Gage' will be premiering early next year on Netflix. Coltrain will be reprising his role as the dude with superhuman strength and impenetrable skin. I expect this one to be more of Daredevil kind of pace tho. 1 Like |

KOLZY:Gotta love those 2 Broke Girls, it's one of my favourite guilty pleasures. kingsilly:Yes-o, although that Gorilla Kingdom was giving me strong Planet of the Apes vibe, kinda scared for Earth 2's humanity... I've just been reading this thread on my TV series breaks like this... As usual, I'll end up reading some comments and I'm like just allow them to continue walking to the gallows...

darkenedrebel: I follow rating quite well, never was 50 shades over 70%, let's not argue that, daredevil rating has been over 80% since its inception and it never dropped same as bloodline, OITNB and other original Netflix series, JJ won't fall below 8.5 in the next 6 month, it's easier to get the ratings for Netflix original series because all Episodes are available all at once..started watching it few minutes back and it's pace is even a little faster than daredevil that came around the 3rd episode. |
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Nobody: 3:56pm On Nov 22, 2015 |
koice: You should really learn how to respect other people's opinions though I have no problem with you thinking J.J is the best show ever, but flinging subliminal slurs because someone thinks otherwise is not healthy... some people actually think Arrow is crap or The Flash is for children, but I don't go.around telling them they are the type that watches Supergirl or Scoobydoo. .that's why we are humans..different things appeal to us.... |
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Nobody: 4:05pm On Nov 22, 2015 |
kingsilly: How much are you willing to wager? kingsilly: Yeah...& I told you that the rating isn't all that matters..It's all politics & they aren't always honest.. The fact that Marvel is involved is a guarantee that it's bound to be a success story- the bone of contention are the fans/the longetivity How long would people be interested in watching J.J before they consider it stale? Which I've already done by the way.. That's what seperates a great show from an average show.. You say Daredevil's rating has been 80% since its inception...season 2 is not even out yet & it is already losing steam...see? Despite its high rating... |
