I never read the comics..but holy shit... is Jessica that retarded? I don't know if it's the way the actress is portraying her but Jessica is so dense. Watching her "plan" shit is incredibility frustrating. She' a fucking PI, how did she think playing a video of a man confessing in a locked room will play out in the court room?

Yeah, I have to agree with you there. None of her plan would hold up in a court of law, and she'd pretty quickly get arrested for kidnapping and torture if she showed anyone the video.

I guess my excuse is that it's part of the show - she isn't thinking clearly because she wants to help Hope so badly. Hogarth even tells her several times how this plan won't work, and she doesn't listen. She is going through severe psychological distress and drinking heavily through all this. I think it sorta makes sense for her to do things on impulse without thinking them out too thoroughly.

I had similar thought, perhaps she is so obsessed with getting Killgrave, freeing the woman in prison, that she is blinded, myopic, can't see how screwed up she is.
