Hallway fight! It wouldn’t be a Netflix series without some kind of dust-up in a dimly-lit corridor, and while Jessica Jones doesn’t aspire to the same level of fight scene choreography as Daredevil, it’s certainly satisfying to see Alisa lay the smackdown on Pryce in the opening minutes — even if we then end the episode with a more upsetting version in which Alisa comes dangerously close to killing Jessica in a different hallway. (I do love the Jessica Jones version of a mom bandaging up their kid’s boo-boo: with snark and cheap whisky.)
