The Netflix series is reportedly adding four new roles, two of which are for minority women. "Jessica Jones does an excellent job of depicting its white female characters as three-dimensional people with rich, complicated interior lives," says Charles Pulliam-Moore. "But more often than not, that richness comes at the expense of the characters of color who end up being hurt or killed as a result of their connections to Jessica, Trish Walker, and Jeri Hogarth."
