I thought he was fine as a supporting character, but not sure if he's interesting enough to lead his own series.

That's my concern. He was tolerable enough in small doses and was suitably bad-ass, but not sure how much I'll like having to see him every episode.

A lot of it will depend on the villain and the supporting cast. Jessica Jones was hardly my favourite character, but the (largely Aussie) supporting cast helped.

That and Killgrave being arguably the best villain ever.

Yep, Killgrave was f**kin' awesome!
When he really started to be featured in the show is when it got interesting. The fact he seemed almost unbeatable made him terrifying.

One thing though that bothered me throughout the entire series - it was established that Killgrave's power is that he can control your actions by talking to you, meaning you have to hear what he says to be under his control.
The first thing I thought was "Well, why don't they just wear ear plugs. Or earphones blaring loud music." Then sure enough in the LAST episode, they have Trish wearing headphones - and it works!!! How did they not think about that earlier?

Also, that scene was just completely stupid as a whole. They set up Trish walking in pretending to be Jessica, and everyone falls for it...then for no reason she just takes off her hood revealing herself to Killgrave before Jessica even gets a chance to sneak up on him. It was completely pointless.

Apart from that stuff, I really liked the show.

In regards to the next DD season my feeling is they originally intended to give each of of the Defenders one season each to introduce them then launch the defenders universe.

Bit concerned they may be veering of course, JJ just got confirmed for season 2 as well. Maybe delay in Iron Fist casting forced their hand.

And Luke Cage will be awesome as well, cast is probably the strongest of netflix marvek universe and he is a great character. Even better when he team's up with his bff Danny Rand.

Yes. Yes. God, yes.

David Tennant is too good for us mere mortals.

In a related note Luke Cage set for Sep 30 release and Finn Jones from GOT confirmed by Marvel for Iron fist

Will appear in Luke.

Also of interest Madam Gao of Daredevil is from Kun-Lun where Iron fist is returning from.

Something I found kind of odd.

After they have Castle caught, it's mentioned that this is just the start of trying to take down vigilantes, and Jessica Jones is next on the list. I get that it was probably more of just a name drop, but she isn't really a vigilante. She took down one psychopath, and all of a sudden she is next on their list after mass murdering Frank Castle? Doesn't make sense.
