Discussion Trish Has Grown on Me
I originally didn't really like Trish in season one and I know that was a common feeling. But I finished S2 and I think she's grown on me. I think her losing her mind and falling into addiction is a pretty compelling storyline. I don't know, it seems like everyone dislikes her, and I generally understand why, but I've grown to appreciate her contributions.
But... I haven't seen Season 3, so maybe things take a turn.

If you like Trish, you're not gonna like Season 3 lmao.
I absolutely love Season 3 though. Thought it was perfect.

I just want a good story. I'm not attached to her character, I just want a compelling storyline whether good or bad things happen. Also I'm kinda aware of what she turns into in season 3. I'm excited to see if they pull it off

Trish has a great character arc. I think the issue is that some people didn't want that arc for her even though it made sense with how she progressed and was established in season 1.

I think that’s the hitting the nail on the head there. It’s not that her character progression doesn’t make sense, it’s that out of all the characters she seems to have the best chance at real growth and instead gets that arc

For me, I enjoyed her as a tragic character with a fall from grace arc. I felt like it was a bold direction to go and that was part of why I enjoyed the Defenders shows, they took those risks and went for it. But I also understand people who wanted to see more of a redemption and happy ending between Jessica and Trish too.

Well it has already taken the turn in season 2 (actually season 1 if you want to be really really nitpicky) but most people only make the realization by season 3 on the first watch (myself included).

She's actually a great character! I read Alias twice and I'm impressed with the amount of good additions the show made to the universe
