Netflix’s trailer campaign for Marvel’s new superhero show Jessica Jones seems to be following her through a typical day around Hell’s Kitchen in NYC. At 2.59pm, Jones (played by Krysten Ritter) is only just waking up; at 7.54pm she’s having a nightcap and listening to Joan Jett in a bar; and at 11.57pm she’s going for an evening stroll.

In the latest, it’s 2.23am, and David Tennant makes his first appearance as Kilgrave aka “The Purple Man”…

Jessica Jones is the second series from the new Netflix corner of the Marvel universe, which started with Daredevil, and will continue in 2016 with Luke Cage, Iron Fist and team-up show The Defenders.

Marvel’s Jessica Jones starts 20 November
