Alias Investigations is open for business, as Marvel’s Jessica Jones – Season Two is now available on Netflix! Following the events of Marvel’s The Defenders, Jessica Jones has had to deal with some time in the spotlight. The general public now thinks of her as a “superhero vigilante,” which has made her even more pissed off than usual. When a face from her past resurfaces, Jessica is forced to deal with the traumatic events that lead to the death of her family and the unknown origins of her powers. Who is behind IGH? Why was Jessica given these abilities? These answers and more await us in Season Two of the hit Netflix series.

 

 

One of the more interesting decisions the creative team took with Jessica Jones – Season One was the decision to gloss over how the title heroine received her abilities. While we got a few glimpses behind the curtain, her power’s origins were left ambiguous. To be fair, she did have a lot on her plate with Killgrave, so exploring her past was not a priority at the time. After her team up with The Defenders, Jessica has been trying to minimize her visibility and deal with some of her own issues (a.k.a. lots of drinking). Trish has taken it upon herself to be a voice for the new heroes of New York, which has caused some unwanted attention from IHG. With Jessica’s friends in the crosshairs, she finally decides that it is time to do something about the mysterious organization and get some damn answers in the process. 

 

Luckily for viewers, the key players have returned for another go in Season Two. Krysten Ritter (Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt 23) continues to provide a deep and memorable performance. Rachael Taylor (Transformers) is back as Trish Walker, forced to deal with some demons of her own. At least it looks like she will be able to do so with the support of her new boyfriend, TV personality Griffin Sinclair (Hal Orzan, The Blacklist). Fan-favorite Eka Darville (Power Rangers R.P.M.) returns as Malcolm, who is determined to move on from his past and learn as much as possible about the world of Private Investigation from Jones. Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix Trilogy) returns as Jeri Hogarth and receives some troubling medical news at the beginning of the season. Her downward spiral creates some additional turmoil for Jones and friends, and it will be interesting to see where this character ends up by the end of the thirteen episodes. J.R. Ramirez (Arrow) makes the jump from DCTV to Marvel Television and enters Jessica’s world as her buildings new superintendent (and maybe potential love interest?).
