I don't know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't a sort of hardboiled detective story...

And I'm looking forward to the Luke Cage series...

Wasn't sure if he was going to pull off Luke Cage before I watched. Now I'm convinced. Can't wait for his series. I'm going to save the last two episodes for tomorrow though, eyes getting heavy. Really enjoying it. I like that it has a totally different feel than Daredevil yet still feels like they are connected. And the cinematography is fantastic. One of the best looking depictions of New York City I can think of for TV.

True. But:
Spoiler for Hidden:
Did they know enough about how his power worked to be sure that would be effective?

Generally, I liked the whole series. I especially liked that for the most part and except for the main antagonist, powers and superpowers were kept low key.

if killgraves power is viral in nature (pheromones based in comix), then how would headphones work?

Just thinking.

If you can't hear him you can't do what he tells you. The trickier thing is if its viral how was he able to contorl people through a hospital intercom?

Spoiler for Hidden:
Remember how he was using his father to try and make his powers reach farther and last longer? I thought it was explained via dialogue that he amped up his powers to ludicrous levels and that allowed him to effectively saturate the entire hospital with his virus so everyone was in range.

If Jessica knew she is immune to the Purple Man's mind control power why did she kill Luke's wife?

I'm pretty sure she wasn't immune then, but something broke the control during the trauma of the event. You can see as she turns to walk away that she looks pretty stunned/amazed at what she's doing (not obeying).

Spoiler for Hidden:
My impression was that the shock of realizing what she'd just done was what gave her the additional strength of will to resist his power afterwards.

Almost done.  Other than the awful subplot with Reuben's sister, it's been really good.  Halfway through, though, the producer's name became Kremzeek.  So, since a little electric gremlin was in charge, a bad subplot with an unlikable character is forgivable.

I really liked how the show mentioned the events that happened from the Avengers movie.

Spoiler for Hidden:
I think it has to be a combination of his voice and the virus. Maybe the amping resulted in the virus lasting longer so it could saturate a larger area?

Spoiler for Hidden:
But if Hawkeye still has his hearing impairment he would be an awesome choice to fight Killgrave. :D

Spoiler for Hidden:
Since Killgrave's powers are a virus, would that mean it would only reach towards humans? It was never shown to be affected by animals. I wonder if some other non-humans, say... Asgardians would be immune to the virus? It would be a very short sided fight between Kilgrave and Thor for instance if that were the case. :P
