Yeah there's a kind of 'trauma porn' element to S2 but I'm actually not so bothered with that. Every show has a flavor and that's the flavor of this show. I would only advise them not to forget that Jones is still a Marvel character, a Defender, who should give at least a half fuck about the people around her. She was particularly callous and selfish this season.
And most glaringly; stupid. Jessica Jones always had her demons that expressed as snark, sarcasm, and faux apathy. But she was never stupid, not for emotion not for selfishness. This season she was very stupid and every character around her got a major boost in cred calling it out - except shockingly some of these scenes were directing as THEM being out of line and unfair or insensitive.
I have my theories based on the production team how that narrative could possibly be greenlit, but it's not unique when 'certain people' are allowed to write 'certain characters of a certain gender' and we end up with a caricature.
This was Trish's season and if they have 5% of common sense season 3's conflict should be obvious and awesome.
