![]() By the end of the season, it coagulates into her one true desire: her desire for powers. That was the key to her for me this season, playing with the varying shades of how she wants to matter. She’s tired of towing the corporate line at Trish Talk. ![]() It’s just not happening, particularly as a journalist. She has a radio show, she has a relative degree of fame due to her career as a child star, she has money …” But she also has a gaping hole in her, a yearning to be more than she is. You can look at her on one hand and think, “She really has it all. I love playing a character who on the surface seems very polished. We really had to break her down in order to eventually, hopefully, build her back up. It does, because Trish certainly goes through the wringer in season two: career growing pains, relapse through the inhaler, her shifting friendship with Jessica - especially given the ending of the season - and seemingly developing some powers of her own. It emotionally explains a lot about what season two is, up to that point. She’s been made to feel in her life that she was not respected. For the first five or six episodes, Trish is going in a number of different directions, in terms of her appetite for wanting “more.” There’s nothing she’s not prepared to do to feel more powerful or be closer to Jessica, and for me, episode seven is a window into why she’s the way she is. Getting a direct window into a very different version of Trish Walker was very exciting. I feel like season two is really all about diving deeper and darker into the personal histories and personal traumas of all of our characters. ( Laughs.) But I think episode seven is my favorite episode of the season. It took me three or four months to shed it. For Trish, she’s just branched out into pop music, and is celebrating the release of the song from which the episode gets its name … Let’s start with the earliest point in which we see Trish, even if it comes about halfway into the season: “AKA I Want Your Cray Cray,” the seventh episode of the season, which flashes back to who Jessica and Trish were long before we met them. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Rachael Taylor opened up about Trish’s rocky road through the second season of Jessica Jones, how her storyline mirrored the # MeToo movement and the pitfalls of celebrity at points, the violent twist in the season finale, and more … beginning with the “ cray cray” beginning. ![]() The catlike reflexes demonstrated in Trish’s final scene are an obvious nod to the character’s roots as the Marvel superhero Hellcat, a development one hopes and expects to see expanded upon in a likely third season. This is combined with Jeri Hogarth who doesn’t have much of a role in this season.'Jessica Jones' Star Janet McTeer Pulls Back the Curtain on Her Top-Secret Season 2 Roleįor their part, Jessica Jones viewers will likely see the same thing in Trish as what the title character sees - but they also see something more, now that the former host of “Trish Talk” is starting to exhibit powers of her own. After her run as a junky she teams up with the other third wheel Malcolm on a side adventure that dovetails back into the main plot…but it isn’t very satisfying. While I like Trish (aka Patsy) Walker, I find her getting really irritating this season. ![]() The show is also hampered by a few supporting cast storylines. It is right for the character, but it is drawn out and a bit tedious (with no real good solution…leading to a lot of back-and-forth). With the introduction of Alisa Jones (Janet McTeer), Jessica finds herself caught up in her own past, her own self-doubt, and leading down a road which is more slippery than her alcoholism. The series stays true to the character presented by Season 1, but this season doesn’t have a fulfilling second season villain since the story is a more personal one. A ******spoiler alert****** is in effect for the rest of the review. With a fantastic (and well played) villain, Jessica Jones-Season 1 was a tight series, but Jessica Jones had a bit of a sophomore slump. I really liked the character of Jessica Jones and the first season of the series did a decent job capturing the trainwreck that her life is. “Hey Jessica, let’s go dumpster diving into your past…won’t we have fun?” ![]()
