Having watched ten episodes currently, I have to agree. She's a woman with super-strength, and she gets knocked down easily by either a few guys with little stun sticks or a nerd girl with a plank of wood. Seriously? I could just about buy the first incidence, because she was outnumbered by like, 3-1, but the second one was almost laughable.

As for Jessica herself, she's engaging enough as a character. I still think she's fairly moody and sullen half the time, but she does come out with a few pithy remarks to make up for it. I find Kilgrave more compelling, to be honest.

Having watched up to the ten episodes, I have this gripe: Major episode ten spoilers!!Hope's death. I just didn't get it. She's free! She was released! Why the hell did she then just decide to off herself? The argument she did give: that Jessica could go after Kilgrave, was already achieved. Hope could just leg it away from New York for awhile and go under the radar, while Jessica dealt with Kilgrave. It all seemed odd. We had this ten episode build-up to Hope's release and then... she dies. All those wacky, barely held together plots Jessica had, for nothing.

Episode Nine spoilers, sub-plot spoilers My other gripe is the Hogarth divorce sub-plot. No-one is acting like a human being. The entire arc is almost cringworthy to watch at times, to be honest. Then Jessica gets involved and almost kills a woman by pushing her into a train, who only wanted more money in the settlement. And she's the protagonist. I find it somewhat of a distraction, to be honest.
