Yes, indeed. Jessica Jones was an extremely intense rollercoaster for much of the latter half , I had to take some breaks from the binge to decompress.
One of the best shows of the year, along with Daredevil.
I've watched the first two episodes and am hooked.
I thought we'd have a long wait until something as good as Daredevil came along but this is really good so far and, as you say, has zero in common with the usual pedestrian superhero tv stuff.
My grandparents did the same thing. The closest I was allowed to approach was a quick peek round the door. The first time I saw it used was the Coronation. My grandma was a royal lover and talked my grand dad into buying a new fangled televison set for the big event.
Although I was only seven at the time I remember it well. All the men were in suit and tie and the women in their best frocks. I was more interested in the tele with it's art deco walnut cabinet and flickering midget sized screen. It seemed like a technological marvel from the future.
I also have the parsimonious attitude to paying money and will walk three stations rather than pay the fare. It no doubt comes from my childhood when we had no money, no bath, outside toilet and not much at all besides a radio that was on all the time. Luxury !
