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

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


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

2015 AD 


We know this because, in the final episode of the first season episode 13 "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. 

Additionally, season 1 episode 2 "AKA Crush Syndrome" and season 1 episode 6 "AKA You're a Winner!" include flashbacks to a semi-recent event involving Kevin 'Kilgrave' Thompson, Trish 'Patsy'/'Hellcat' Walker refers to this when she says, "It's been a year, Jess." 

2015 - 1 = 2014. 

Season 1 episode 5 "AKA The Sandwich Saved Me", includes another flashback to an earlier point in the life of Jessica Jones . 

Season 1 episode 11 "AKA I've Got the Blues" opens with an extended flashback to Jessica's adolescent trauma. In season 2 episode 3 "AKA Sole Survivor", Jessica says, "17 years ago, an injured orphan girl came through and you thought, 'Perfect candidate to torture'." when referring to the fateful accident. Season 2 takes place in 2017 AD. So this flashback must be 2000 AD

2017 - 17 = 2000. 

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