My brain betrayed me recently. There is a murky, shadowed recess in the mind of every human being that occasionally regurgitates eldritch truths, truths which haunt them in the small hours of the morning when they’re chasing sleep.

Welcome to the Jessica Jones series blog! Join me once a week to discuss one of the breakout shows of last year- if you can avoid binge watching the entire 13 hour season in one sitting. Damn you, Netflix.
