It’s a set up episode! Yes, I can’t binge watch. I’m incapable of it, sorry.
They are back! Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Mike Colter as Luke Cage and Finn Jones as Danny Rand. I’ve missed Jessica Jones’s sarcasm, anti-social behavior and her heart. I even missed some of the villains and I hope we get to see some more of them along the way.
Yes, it’s a set up episode. Some of it is good and some of it is bad. It was a slow episode, but I think it was to be expected from the tone of the previous shows. I think we are in for a more mystery season, than an action packed one, although there is some action in this episode. Also, I think we will see how some elements that were placed in Daredevil and Iron Fist will come together at last, giving the views a sense of good world building.
I don’t think that you must watch all of the characters shows before watching The Dedenders. I will be honest, I did not watch Iron First and Luke Cage and I felt that if I haven’t read what their shows were about, I wouldn’t understand this episode quite as well, but reading an article was enough for me. On the other hand, we see Matt Murdock again, and if you are waiting, like me, for some resolve of on a big issue from his show, I think you’ll have to wait for season 3. So, even though these are Daredevil show runners, I think he’s part of the episode was the most confusing part.
Sigourney Weaver as the main villain is just a pleasure to watch. As Alexandra her motives are clear from the start, you can understand her and even identify with her to a certain limited extent. I think we are in for another excellent Marvel-Netflix villain.
It was still strange how when the camera focused on each character, the background lightening and music was different, it made you feel like the characters are still in different shows. It’s original, but strange on the eyes.
As all good episodes in a binge-watching format it ended on a cliffhanger. Not interesting enough to make me watch the next immediately.
I give it 6/10.
