Women will direct every single episode of 'Jessica Jones' Season 2

It's rare to find a woman in television kicking butt on camera, forget behind it.

Netflix's Jessica Jones is attempting to accomplish both. At Transform Hollywood on Friday, Melissa Rosenberg, the show's executive producer, announced that all Season 2 episodes will be directed by women.

Women directed slightly under a third of the show's first season. A study from the Center for Women in Television and Film found that women made up approximately 12 percent of all television directors in 2015.

Next season's Game of Thrones, by contrast, will not have any female directors.

The show has received widespread praise for its writing, strong female heroes and female friendships. It has carefully tackled issues of sexual assault and has earned a 93 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

1. I'm was a little "meh" about season one.

It was a good detective show, but didn't hit my superhero buttons the way Daredevil and Luke Cage did.

3. i was really surprised by Luke Cage

At first I thought it would be boring but man was I wrong- very strong script.
Daredevil season 1 i enjoyed much more than season 2
I haven't tried Jessica Jones yet- I'll have to check it out

6. Well if you ever wondered what would happen if two super-strong indestructible people

were "fond" of each other Jessica Jones will answer that question. Good series. Like it a little more than DD but like them all so far.

Luke Cage is the best of the bunch though. They reached further.

8. ***SPOILER ALERT HERE***

Spoiler posted in white text. Highlight to read, if you care to.
[font color="white"]Loved Luke Cage overall, but I didn't like that they killed off Stokes in favor of the much less interesting Diamondback. Stokes was cold and ruthless and calculating, like a top-level villain at the center of a web, while Diamondback came across as an angry henchman with cool(ish) tech and daddy issues.

I would rather have seen him as Stokes' strongman.[/font]

Still, the series was great, and Colter has onscreen charisma that you can bend horseshoes around.

4. The villain was the best part of season one...

...not to say Jessica Jones isn't a good character but it was the quality of the villain is what stands out to me. Maybe season 2 can turn that around.

5. Had the best villain in MCU.

12. Probably the best developed villain in the whole superhero film/tv genre. n/t

9. Jessica Jones was terrific from start to finish

I'll be very interested to see how a new round of directors handles the series!

Glad to hear this.
