But, in Daredevil, weren't there a few more criminals too? Plus, even with only Fisk, it gave more background info. on him and the plots were more intricate.
Even so, I still like the Jessica Jones series better because of her character. -

Kilgrave was the primary antagonist, but he controlled people to be secondary antagonists. Simpson, for example. At the same time, Jessica herself is another antagonist, as she tries to work through her own past and emotions to get to a better place psychologically.
This show wasn't about "let's see how many bad guys we can beat up this episode" like DD. It's about Jessica coming to grips with her broken psyche and learning how to heal herself so that she can confront and defeat the person who broke her. It's a different kind of story, and one that requires far fewer goons to punch into a wall. -

I like both shows, but Daredevil season 1 had the Russians, The Japanese and the Triads. Yes Fisk was pretty much behind all of that, but he wasn't really "the" antagonist the same way Kilgrave was.
Not that I think either approach is bad - both worked IMO.
Reading my signature constitutes admission that I am correct. (Too late) -

Hmm, so what about Daredevil, as Wilson Fisk was the antagonist for the entirety of that show's season 1?
Absolutely and so the writers skillfully kept the two apart most of the series while building up tension for the ultimate showdown.
It wasn't Fisk loses but escapes only to have DD get Fisk again but Fisk somehow gets away again. But Daredevil captures Fisk yet again
For me Jessica Jones was best before Kilgrave arrives.
Once Kilgrave got away from the van in show 5
and nothing happened
, I really started to have problems. -

I loved seeing and hearing David Tennant in every scene he was in. I m glad there was just Kilgrave. One of the most formidable villains I've ever seen. They did a great job introducing him.
the character was included on Rolling Stone's list of the "40 Greatest TV Villains of All Time."
