I also marathon-d through it this weekend and have to echo a lot of what you said.
While it veered WAY away from the original comic stuff, I feel like they kept the essence of Jessica and the rest of the crew. For one, as I haven't seen it mentioned in the marketing, Jessica debuted in Marvel's R-rated MAX comic line and so everything you'd expect to see in some R-rated movies are present. Just...as a warning/heads up as a lot of folks were blindsided by that apparently. Also, seconded on the show not being nearly as action heavy as Daredevil so keep that in mind.
I liked that they could potentially be building up Hellcat with Trish and hope to see her come into play in The Defenders. For anyone wanting to give it a go, I'd make sure you know ahead of time (as somehow this wasn't really marketed), the show is actually quite dark and deals with some very heavy themes.
I won't go into my full on review that some folks on my FB feed had to deal with but I will say I definitely enjoyed the main characters, the nods to the comics and while I had my doubts initially about Krysten Ritter, she very much nails Jessica Jones. Likewise, Cage has been a favorite of mine for years so seeing him on screen was amazing. I had a few gripes but only one big one that I'll leave out for the sake of not spoiling it.
