Obviously the whole room erupted. We haven't even seen a full trailer yet so this was a surprise.
The episode was a lot of fun, and very dark. That's seems to be the tack that Marvel and Netflix have chosen to take with these new shows leading up to an ultimate meeting of a superhero group called The Defenders.
I loved it, and thought it felt very much in the same world as "Daredevil." Dark and seedy, with an underlying humor that mostly just feeds the dark and seediness more.
Jessica Jones is haunted by her past. And it's that haunt that made this episode dark, spooky, and scary. At one point I was gripping my shirt and holding my breath to prepare for the spooky moment I knew was sure to come. That's when you know it's good.
But since we can't get into the juicy plot details of the show, we'll get into what the other lucky people in the room thought of this screening. I haven't been able to find a single negative reaction on social media so far.
But mostly, everyone is obsessed with how dark this thing is:

- jamie harsip (@JamieHarsip) October 10, 2015Apperntly @JessicaJones will be like even more darker than daredevil! This means I can't wait much longer and am now even more excited!
- Iron-Cam (@planetcameron) October 10, 2015I saw the Jessica Jones pilot with @BriliantBadWolf at #NYCC. It was Marvel's darkest yet.
- Logan Dalton at NYCC (@SexyGingerNerd) October 10, 2015I love the fact that Jessica Jones drinks, smokes and swears like a sailor, she's something new and I can't wait to watch the show
- matt murdock (@skywalkerauhl) October 10, 2015what I also really dug about JESSICA JONES ep 1 is lack of dumb exposition. We don't have her explaining her life. Show starts and we're off
- Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) October 10, 2015After the first 10 min of @JessicaJones Krysten Ritter puts on a master class in acting. Her chemistry with Colter is on point too.
