A woman with the powers of strength and PTSD is tormented by a former not-boyfriend and whose description spoils the show.

I watched this for a bit, and it’s slow and boring.

Based on the Marvel Comics character Jessica Jones, whom I hadn’t heard of until now.
I was only interested in this, because I know Krysten Ritter from Breaking Bad – (2008 show).
This takes place in New York City.

A secret organization scavenges alien technology.

Like Doctor Who, this series is pretty light. It seems good so far.

A spin-off of Doctor Who – (2005 show).

Guild bounty hunters hunt bounties and stuff.

I like it so far.

I am reminded of Firefly – (2002 show).

Evil returns to find Ash.

Playful. It is clearly capitalizing on the success of the franchise, but it’s not really interesting to me, as though it’s stretching out the story ideas. It’s okay, though not especially recommended. I watched a bit of it, but I’d rather do other things with my life.

The show was cancelled after two seasons, at which time I stopped caring enough that when I learned it had been un-cancelled I continued to not care.

A psychologically-disturbed young man’s fantasies spiral out of control as he pursues a lunatic’s dream for economic anarchy.

Fast and loose. This is one of those shows which tries to cash in on this generation’s theme of general discontent. It generally fails. More-or-less entertaining.

For everyday people this is somewhat recommended. For fans of psychological stuff, and anti-corporatism, this is somewhat recommended. For people who know enough about computers but don’t like psychological stuff or anti-corporatism, I do not recommend this.
