40K members

After a 200-year-old medicine jar found on an off-shore shipwreck shatters in a teenage girl's palm, she is admitted to Princeton Plainsboro for symptoms closely linked to smallpox. When the Center for Disease Control's Dr. Dave Broda institutes a lockdown on the hospital and suspends House's team's ability to diagnose, Masters grows suspicious of Broda's motives and becomes convinced that the patient is suffering from a different disease. The girl's father soon experiences similar symptoms, and House is forced to make a precarious decision that puts his own life in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Wilson and Sam comfort a 6-year-old chemotherapy patient who prompts them to examine their relationship.

Marvel's Jessica Jones: A Superhero Noir to Add to Your BetaSeries Watchlist

From the bustling streets of New York City emerges a different kind of hero – one who's traded her superhero costume for a private investigator’s badge. Meet Jessica Jones, the lead character in Marvel’s critically acclaimed TV series 'Jessica Jones'. With its edgy storytelling, compelling characters, and masterful blend of crime drama and superhero action, this show is a must-add to your BetaSeries account.

The series follows the life of Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), a former superhero who has hung up her cape due to a tragic incident. Haunted by her past and grappling with PTSD, she now leads a quiet life as a private investigator. However, when people with remarkable abilities start cropping up in her cases and an old nemesis resurfaces, she is compelled to confront her past and use her powers for good once again.

What sets 'Jessica Jones' apart from other superhero series is its deep dive into more mature themes such as trauma, power dynamics, consent and recovery. It brings humanity to its superhuman characters through their personal struggles - whether it's Jessica grappling with PTSD or Trish Walker (Rachael Taylor), her best friend struggling with addiction while striving to make an impact in society. The complex relationships between these characters enrich the narrative making each episode more engaging than the last.
