When Does the TV Show "Jessica Jones" Season One (2015) Take Place?

"Jessica Jones" season one is a crime superhero television series showran by Melissa Rosenberg [adapting "Alias" #22-#28 (2003) by Brian Michael Bendis as well as "Daredevil" #233 (1986) by Frank Miller] that released November 20th, 2015. So when is "Jessica Jones" season 1 set? 


It takes place on the fictional Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline in the year: 

2015 AD 


We know this because, in the season finale, season one episode thirteen "AKA Smile", Claire Temple mentions her previous experience medically treating super-powered individuals, referencing the events of "Daredevil" season one (2015), the main action of which takes place in 2014 AD. So it must be in or after 2014 AD. 

Also, it clearly takes place before the characters make multiple references to this season’s events over the episodes in "Jessica Jones" season two (2018), which takes place in 2017 AD. So it must be during or before 2017 AD. 

Additionally, season one episode two "AKA Crush Syndrome" and season one episode six "AKA You're a Winner!" include flashbacks to a semi-recent event involving Kevin "Kilgrave" Thompson. Trish "Patsy" Walker refers to this when she says, "It's been a year, Jess." 

2,015 - 1 = 2,014. 

Season one episode five "AKA The Sandwich Saved Me", includes another flashback to an earlier point in the life of Jessica Jones . 

Season one episode eleven "AKA I've Got the Blues" opens with an extended flashback to Jessica's adolescent trauma. Season one episode twelve "AKA Take a Bloody Number" shows a close-up of some medical documents pertaining to this accident presented by Dorothy Walker. The top of the document reads "STATEMENT DATE 04/13/00" surely representing April 13th, 2000 AD. The accident couldn't have been long before this hospital bill was made so the episode eleven flashback must take place in 2000 AD

It is the third chronological TV series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and can be watched at its timeline point or entirely separately.
