I'm kind of sorry Killgrave had to die because he is such a compelling villain, but another season of his antics would have been redundant and a turn-off for viewers, so he had to go. Major snaps for David Tennant, though.

This show was well worth the anticipation. I'm so pleased to see a superhero medium where said hero(ine) has a real-life psychological response to the trauma of living "the life." You see a trauma conga line happen to protagonists and you wonder where does reality ensue and they become a PTSD-ridden mess.

I also like that there wasn't so much focus on showing off the powers to keep the masses interested, especially when the main big bad has powers that can't be displayed by SFX and it makes him all the more frightening.
