Marvel's Jessica Jones headed to the small screen

Marvel characters like Jessica Jones are exactly the reason for my undying love of anything and everything Marvel. Some of you might be unfamiliar with who Jessica Jones is, as she isn’t one of the most well-known characters from the Marvel universe.
