I'm still not sure how I feel about Niki. While she's okay in regards to stereotypes, she could have been a hell of a lot better. Partly because she was 'a desperate person doing what she has to do' - you very rarely see a character in the sex trade who is portrayed neither as a "slut" or desperate. Some people genuinely enjoy it, but you never see that on tv. Also partly because of the way they handled her MPD. That was incredibly stereotypical, though at least they made Jessica into a somewhat sympathetic character rather than a completely 2D psychotic.
