All of Marvel's Current TV Shows, Ranked

While Jessica Jones' greatest strength may be that it doesn't feel like a Marvel or superhero property at all, it doesn't change the fact that the series remains firmly at the top of the rankings. Exploring the lasting effects of rape and PTSD as a result of Kilgrave's (a charismatic David Tennant, giving one hell of a performance) control over her, Jessica's (Krysten Ritter) traumatic story was sometimes difficult to watch. But by depicting her as a survivor and following her journey toward regaining her agency after having it violently ripped away, the series gave voice to the frequently voiceless. In the end, Jessica Jones was more than just a superhero series, and its first season was nothing short of spectacular.
