Where I Lost Emotional Contact

The series started very well for me and then steadily declined.
I was emotionally invested but the plot methodically removed every tether.
After episode one I was fearful for Jessica, liked her and Luke supporting each other and wanted Hope free.
And this grew through the next two shows.
1) But Luke and Jess dissolve, oh well
2) Jessica moves in with Kilgrave! Huh?
3) And it's revealed Jessica is immune, so she has nothing to worry about.
4) Finally Hope kills herself, oh no!
After the above, I was over and done with the show
It was just a question of how much death and suffering I would see until the end of the show; Oh by the way it was a lot.
There was no way for this to feel like a win anymore.
At the end of Daredevil, I was Hell Yeah!😁
At the end of Jessica Jones, yeah whatever 😩

It's hard to lose emotional contact if none is ever established. I was more connected with the Daredevil characters after one episode then I was with any of these characters after enduring the entire series.

I actually loved the first episode and was totally into the story and the people.
The show had so much potential that it wasted.

This is true. The cast is great and the concept is cool but the writing was so bad that they flushed both aspects completely down the toilet. There is no emotional connection or any connection at all. It's indeed very shallow all the way through.

Right from the start.
