Interesting premise. Hot chick in duffle bag emerges, naked and covered in fresh tattoos with no memory. One of the tattoos says to call a certain FBI Agent.
I watched the first two episodes and I will watch the third but I am not sold yet.
Good pacing, decent action, but there are problems. Some of the problems are that I am a curmudgeon. But they are the same problems I have with most new cop\CSI shows.
It’s way too big of a team. FBI doesn’t have unlimited manpower. It starts off as naked tattooed chick with no memory. That alone would not warrant 8 investigators.
FBI? No tie and a scruffy beard? Maybe they have changed and lightened up since Mulder and Scully but he don’t seem FBI to me.
Humorless. There hasn’t been one laugh yet. If it doesn’t let up from the brooding “It’s so dramatic. He feels sooo muuuch!!” I won’t be able to hang too long.
Yeah there was a thread started when the pilot aired.
I guess it kind went stale. I got last night’s episode on the DVR and I’ll get around to it eventually. I pretty much agree with you up to this point. It’s got it’s faults, for sure, but the premise was interesting enough. I’m guessing it will lose steam by season’s end.
I like the actress playing Jane Doe (She was Sif in the Thor movies). But most of the supporting cast are simply intense and bland, without personalities.
On shows like this, if the mystery is ever solved, there would be no reason for the show. Ergo, the mystery will never be solved. At least, not without adding more mysteries.
And this mystery has a handicap worse than most; the premise is that the entire mystery is already tattooed on Jane Doe. Which means the FBI already has all the information it’s going to get.
Sure, it’s working now. But imagine how much it’s going to strain the show’s already fragile believability when they find clues for crimes that are committed six months from now.
Yeah, it seems a little convenient to find the right tattoo for the crime that day. They should have an episode where a bomb goes off or something, and THEN they find the tattoo that predicted it.
I cannot handle the beard! It takes me out of it every time I look at his face. Maybe the FBI allows beards, but it doesn’t suit a team leader. He looks like he just woke up from a 3 day drunk. TRIM THAT SHIT!!
And you gave a weapon to a civilian with no fucking memory and she shot people. I think that’ll be hard to justify when you are testifying in court.
And no, she is not an asset. She is a victim. It doesn’t matter that she has skills. She doesn’t know she has them. And she cannot follow orders. And when her memory comes back, she may not be a nice person. As the show has already demonstrated, people with military-type skills are sometime criminals too. And we are not desperate to learn your identity. We don’t need to endanger investigations or risk lives to learn it…because it’s only been three days! It may all come back on it’s own after four.
The underling, Edgar, is right. She has no place travelling with the team or being an active part in the investigation. Weller is far too close and has lost all objectivity. He should be removed from the investigation altogether. And he should shave. At least sculpt, ferchrissakes.
Figured I’d revive this thread to say that I, too, am done with Blindspot. I watched Monday night’s episode and it’s just too damn boring. Boring story, boring characters, just kind of a crap show. So, if anyone out there is gonna fight the good fight, let us know if it gets any better.
I’m struggling to stay interested. sigh. It seemed like such a fresh idea. But the show doesn’t seem to know what it is supposed to be? Police action or suspense and intrigue?
I wish they focused on suspense and intrigue. Jane and her story. Solving the imminent disaster of the week is getting silly.
I just watched the first episode. I enjoyed most of it, but I hated the ending. The intent was obvious - hint that there is a real plot more interesting than the red herring plot - but that fails when you liked the red herring more than the alternative.
