Intentions:

This rendition of Jessica Jones: The Complete First Season is intended to enhance the re-watching experience of the show and allow you to finish it in a single sitting. The original season is nearly a masterpiece, but filled with a lot side-plots that eventually fold into the grander plan by the end of the season. This is meant to focus on the main conflict so that this underappreciated gem can join your MCU marathon.
