OP, please. Suddenly it is at the level of Dexter and Twilight? Way above, way above. Even with the show obviously becoming tired.
A few points, though.
Jessica is not trained. She is not strong because of her muscles. She is not a fighter. She has superhuman strength. Not superhuman muscle size.
I think that the fighting shown being lacking was absolutely deliberate. And her character showed traits that is very natural and normal for a quite large margin of alcoholics. The attitude, the shouting, the "fuck it all" manners...it is a good portrayal of a semi-broken character. Whether you like that character type or not is a different topic of conversation, but that does not disqualify her acting.
At the end of the day, I agree that this could have been condensed to 10 episodes, and work even better. But it is close to being a classic already. Much more so than Daredevil, imho. (And I loved Daredevil, until it got tired at the end of the run).
Actually, nope, not at all. She is becoming more and more tired as the show goes on. She foregoes sleep, she gets hit by trucks, gets shot, and even that one tiny bit of sleep she gets after getting hit by a truck is interrupted. And then comes the insane duel in the apartment. She is weakening, it is very obvious.

The moment Jessica jones shitty neighbor knocks her out for literally hours, conveniently so purple man could disappear, when just before an entire elite squad with tazers couldn't bring her down was when it cemented for me that the writing just was not good in this series. You want to like it because some of the acting is good and it's fun to see an r rated comic story that is kinda taken seriously, but when you really think about it your brain has to shut off to understand some of the events. Including why no one thought of wearing earplugs when approaching helgrave before the headphone scene at the end (that worked like a charm)
