re: MARVEL signs deal for five original shows to debut on Netflix in 2015

quote:

---

Led by a series focused on “Daredevil,” followed by “Jessica Jones,” “Iron Fist” and “Luke Cage,” the epic will unfold over multiple years of original programming, taking Netflix members deep into the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell’s Kitchen, New York. Netflix has committed to a minimum of four, thirteen episodes series and a culminating Marvel’s “The Defenders” mini-series event that reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.

Interesting.

It being on Netflix means that they probably won't have the content restrictions that they'd have for network or basic cable.


I wonder if that means the first episode of the Jessica Jones show will be like her Alias comic, where she gets completely smashed and has a drunken hookup with Luke Cage.

Or if they'll use the Purple Man storyline that ended her superhero career for years. Mind control villains can f*ck you up, especially when they send you to attack the wrong person and you end up beaten into a coma.
