'Jessica Jones' Part 3: A.K.A. The End of Everything

The Popculty Podcast

One year ago, the Jessica Jones series finale brought the entire Marvel/Netflix Universe to an end. In the final part of this retrospective, SJ and Bethany break down the highs (Hellcat!) and lows (#TrishWalkerDeservedBetter) of the third season. We put our backgrounds in criminology and sociology to use, looking at the history of women's anger/violence and why TV just can't seem to let powerful female characters live (*ahemGoT*). Author Reuben “Tihi” Hayslett returns to weigh in on the show's lasting impact for survivors of abuse.
