Jessica Jones barged onto our TV and computer screens in November
2015, courtesy of Marvel and Netflix, presenting a hard-drinking
female protagonist who wrestles with her own inner (and outer)
demons. Gaining enhanced abilities as a teenager, she eschews the
"super costume" and is far more concerned with the problems of
daily life than the high-profile world of New York's superheroes.
But when Jessica falls under the control of a villain, Kilgrave,
her life changes forever. Alias, a television adaptation of the
graphic novel, won a large following and critical acclaim for its
unflinching look at controversial subjects, including abuse
(physical, sexual and emotional), trauma, PTSD, rape culture,
alcoholism, drug addiction, victims' plight and family conflicts.
This collection of new essays offers insight into the show's
complex themes and story lines.
