Teen Wolf had this problem. The Vampire Diaries had this problem. Hell, even Buffy the Vampire Slayer had this problem.

Jessica Jones. It’s been a great run for this series, but unfortunately, we all know that there’s only going to be one more season (for now). There’s still so much that this series could cover, and very little time to do it with.
