BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

anthony5146-703-344446 I have been a semi fan of police series, both UK and USA especially if they prove to not be run of the mill (Suits being another) and this is very much in that category. However, since I've been watching this the idea of dealing with the family life of the main characters seems to have caught on, but there's still the main characters' (Mary) general attitude to keep me watching, sadly we watched the last episode last night, series 2 or 3 which sadly was quite disappointing in that this woman who never 'holidayed' went on holiday with some FBI agent that had come into the series just 2 episodes back. Also, Marshal, her colleague, had more or less told her that 'he was the one for her but she failed to catch on. Shame, still, that's fictional characters for you.

redeyedtreefrog I understand that John McNamara had a medical issue that ultimately cut short the 2010 season of In Plain Sight. John Romano stepped in which resulted in only 13 out of 16 episodes. "A Priest Walks Into A Bar" ended the short season with a 'cliffhanger'. I do hope that John McNamara is okay, after all, health trumps entertainment. However, I do hope that In Plain Sight will continue for several more seasons. Why? In Plain Sight is an intelligent drama with just enough wit. It also has strong characters with strong and often complex interactions - chemistry. What more could you ask for? There are relationships that sometimes hot up and there are moments of action and violence but what carries the show is the intelligent and unique story lines. I've seen a lot of law enforcement shows but do not remember any based on the mysterious workings of WITSEC. The show needs to go on. However, a word of caution, don't pull an Ocean's 12. I LOVE Ocean's 11 and Ocean's 13. I tolerate Ocean's 12 but it sacrificed a strong story and strong characters for complicated and unnecessary action clutter. I hope we will see In Plain Sight back and with that winning formula: intelligence, drama, wit, chemistry and action.

S.R. Dipaling Tough,no-nonsense Fed Marshall Mary Shannon(Mary McCormack)juggles both her job as a lead agent in the Witness Relocation/Protection Program and her role as the one anchored(relatively speaking)sister and daughter of a VERY fractious,dysfunctional family. And you think YOU have problems...This fairly new offering from USA Network is an effective and largely sympathetic fusion of action,drama and dark comedy. Sort of a less "cool" version of "Burn Notice" or "Psych",but still a smart,consistent show with characters that are a good match for each other:Mary's partner Marshall--yes,a MarshaLL NAMED Marshall(Fred Weller,never missing a beat)--whose propensity for wit and droll banter doesn't make him any less a dedicated and able agent;her boss(Paul Ben-Victor)a harried but patient supervisor,primarily because he knows his agents can and will do the job;Mary's sister(Nichole Hiltz),an alcoholic with responsibility problems,and Mary's mother(Lesley Anne Warren,STILL sexy!),a chemically post-dependent drama queen whose issues mirror at least one of her daughters(guess which one). To say that Miss McCormack is able to infuse her character with the right amount of tough over emotional would seem like an obvious overstatement,but its still true nonetheless. previously somewhat lost--though never forgettable--in previous movie parts like Howard Stern's Private Parts,Deep Impact or 1408,she's give a chance to shine and takes it. Sunday nights(when this show is,at least for now,slated to run)are tough nights(in a good way,I suppose)for TV viewers because EVERYONE,from network to cable seems to bring out their best stuff. While some may think that a show like this may be unfairly matched against things like "Desperate Housewives","Brothers and Sisters","Cold Case","The Unit","Mad Men","Eastbound and Down","The Tudors" and "Breaking Bad"(among others!),I feel like this show holds its own very well regardless. I suppose that this is what TiVo is for. As I see it,this unique,funny and show deserves a chance,wherever it runs.

Vic_max I'm not really a fan of TV crime shows, but new series always give me the chance of experiencing some fresh air - so I check them out. In this case, I was glad I did. The pilot started off slow, but after about 30 minutes (it was 90 minutes total w/commercials), it actually became interesting and stayed that way to the end. Subsequent episodes have kept up the momentum.One novel aspect of the show is that its about a lady marshal in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She's in charge of people in the "witness protection program" who have been assigned to her area. She cautions and reassures them that since 1970 (when the witness program started), "No one who has followed the rules has ever been harmed." Powerful words. Can they comply? When things go wrong, can she protect them? How can she keep their identities safe - even from the local police?Aside from the setup, the show is ultimately interesting because she's fun to watch. She's sassy, witty, playful, smart, responsible ... and physically tough. I recommend watching an episode; if the lead character grabs your interest, then you're likely to enjoy the show.
