I was resisting all that super-duper-puper stuff...
Is it in any way similar to Under the Skin?

  I didn't see Under the Skin though looking at the subject matter, it doesn't look anything like this. I did a broad sketch of the series without much in spoilers. Its much more noir than superhero stories are typically.
  
  The people who don't like it just can't stand Jessica Jone's character as she is hard and sarcastic and pushes people away. My own opinion is that people have trouble with the gender shift and can't see the issues underlying this show which have a great deal to do with abuse. I had no trouble with the main character and almost all supporting which I felt were very well done.
  
  Basically a show about a small time "gifted" person just trying to keep to herself in a small neighborhood and gets drawn into awfulness because of crap luck. She's not really a superhero at all.
  - the story and writing is it's strength but the production values are ordinary and fight scenes showboat - PhilJ 20:22:40 12/08/15 (0)
    otherwise JJ is fairly disturbing for me which is what they were going for and they succeeded.
    
    Nothing really compares to Under the Skin which is slow and arty to the extreme but the images and story stay with you, just a bit of a tough viewing experience.
- I'm afraid not, it's standard super hero stuff about a woman with attitude and super strength who also drinks - PhilJ 14:30:01 12/08/15 (14)
  the villian sets this one apart and the mind games he pulls to get his way is a bit creepy and unnerving.
  
  I really enjoyed "Under the Skin" (as much as it could be 'enjoyed') and this TV series is half as good but more unique than most imo.

    As I've stated before, this is not standard super hero stuff at all. People who go in thinking that is what this is will be disappointed.
    - OK, OK, so no Kim's butt tonight. Will check it out. - Victor Khomenko 15:46:02 12/08/15 (12)
      It's been sitting in my queue.
      - I just think you may feel the same about this as you did River, a cliche - PhilJ 16:07:53 12/08/15 (11)

        Its a slow burn. Takes a while and builds.
        Aren't you the guy who pushes slow complicated movies?
