Why does Jessica Jones react differently to Kilgrave's powers?
Plainly speaking
Jessica Jones is immune to Kilgrave's mind-control since the start of the series but she realizes it herself later
I have read Wikipedia on her & in the comics, this reaction to Kilgrave's powers is explained clearly. Jean Grey helps shield her mind.
So, does the same explanation hold true for for the TV series too? If not than why does Jessica react differently to Kilgrave's powers?

I hope this would help :
A conversation between Jessica and Luke from episode 12 (~ the 6th minute)
Jessica : when he made me... kill Reva... I didn't realize it at the time, but I think it severed the hold he had on me. He can't control me. Not anymore.
Luke : You're free of him... because of Reva?
Jessica : Maybe.
Luke : So, because you didn't want to kill her... you were able to push him out.

Jessica's mind appears to have then gone on to develop a natural immunity to Kilgrave, meaning he can never control her again.

Kilgrave, a psychotic mind controller, meets Jessica on the street during one of her acts of heroism, and becomes infatuated with her.

No. Mutants don't exist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to licensing issues. Fox holds the rights to Mutants in Movies and TV, Marvel does not. So it can't be Jean Grey's help.
As to how it happened, it has not been explained yet.
