Jessica's inconsistent powers I really found aggravating and I'm not the type of person to nitpick stuff like that. But when it is used specifically to put a character in peril it gets on my nerves I think they could have done much better here.
This happens in many shows so can't knock Jessica Jones too much but the number of people dying and considered inconsequential and disposable is stupid. At least if the person the hero is attached to gets saved then I feel some satisfaction but Hope ends up dead, I guess to make Jessica's story all the more tragic. As off the rails as Will Simpson got he had it right, he knew Kilgrave had to die and was not waiting around to satisfy some moral agenda, he just wanted to end Kilgrave period.
If Jessica would have done that many people would have been saved but of course that doesn't make 13 episodes of television. Ultimately Krysten Ritter carried the show and made it worth watching.
