Mental Illness in Tv and Film - Jessica Jones

Before I go off and talk about Jessica Jones I thought it was important to talk about my own horrible week, but right now I can't seem to get the words to talk about it, and close family has just found out. I hope to talk about it with you when I feel a bit more able to talk about it, so right now you'll just have to settle for the fact that I had a horrible week. Much like Jessica Jones it's easy to try and reach for the bottle to dull my emotions, but unlike her I know exactly where that leads, and it's no help to anyone. Jessica has PTSD from abuse she received at the hands of the Purple Man before the show begins, and right now that is all I can relate too. She receives flashbacks to her past abuse during the first season, these cause her to have a panic attack, and she recites the phrase, "Birch Street, Higgins Drive, Cobalt lane," as a coping technique used to ground her back in reality.

Jessica Jones Episodes 1-2

                                                                          [Courtesy of Marvel/Netflix] Jessica Jones launched this Friday and after a weekend of mostly binge watching I decided it was time to talk about it. I really enjoyed this show and will be giving my opinion on the first two episodes below. SPOILER warning for those who haven't watch any of these episodes as I will be analysing each episode.

Jessica Jones Whaaaaatttttt?

She did not, did she? Did we just see Jessica Jones fly? Maybe she can just jump really high, if not then thanks Marvel for finally giving us our overpowered female superhero P.I. I was expecting her powers to be toned down a little. Yes, I am happy about this Internet. So the trailer takes place after we saw her wake up that afternoon, also after she got into a fight with an entire bar and now just before midnight Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) is taking a stroll. She's walking very slowly down an alley, all you hear are footprints, distant noises and the gusting wind. Did anyone hear Purple Man (David Tennant) whispering Jessica? Thanks for making me excited for this TV show Netflix. I will binge watch all episodes as soon as you let me. That's my 20th and 21st of October sorted. But I'm always excited to watch new superheroes, what do you guys think?
