I usually don't like Kristen Ritter, but the way she acts suited this part quite well.
Basically, Jessica Jones is a fallen Super Hero who is trying to put her life back together through a prescription of meaningless sex and whiskey. It is part of origin story, part getting through a really tough time in her life.
It is well done. I think Marvel used some their Daredevil profits to go out and buy some lights, so you can actually see what is happening. It is the same seamy streets as Daredevil and their is one cameo from that series. They do shout outs to other Marvel Super Heroes, but none of them ever appear with exception of Luke Cage who plays a substantial role in the show.
The main bad guy is played by David Tennant as Kilgrave. He had Jessica Jones in his thrall and is trying to get her back. Carey Ann Moss of Matrix fame, plays just a disgusting lawyer who hires Jones for detective jobs.
Some of the episodes are better than others. But it really picks up steam towards the last of couple of episodes. The first few were slow for me because basically I was waiting for the bad guy to show up.
Lots of good twists and turns. A few dud characters that I could do without, but on the whole a nice 13 episodes. Looking forward to the Luke Cage series and the return of Daredevil.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
