In Plain Sight is now common among the new cable and even network. They have shortened their season from the usual 22 to 13 episodes. The down side is the longer the wait makes you want to look elsewhere. Mary Shannon... Full review

This show is absolutely terrible and I cannot believe it is being brought back for a second season. The show does look intriguing from its trailers, but upon actually watching the show, it is contrived with awful writing. The one-liners that... Full review

With the addition of In Plain Sight, it's official...the summer cable shows like The Closer, Saving Grace, Burn Notice and Damages are so much better than anything the major networks have to offer during the "regular" season. Love the chemistry between... Full review

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this show. Our comment was that it looks like Hollywood people actually can write. We prefer character driven shows and the characters are great. There is whimsy and great interplay. The plot was complex but... Full review

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,... Full review

But "Sight's" writing is distressingly predictable....In Plain Sight" has hidden promise.....In Plain Sight" would amount to very little without an actress of McCormack's talent and temperament in the central role.....if it's aiming to be bad, but not bad enough to be scorned as completely awful.....On the other hand, McCormack's kickass performance is a pretty good alternative to network reruns or mind-numbing reality slop..... ...

In Plain Sight' on USA has promise....As lead character Marshal Mary Shannon, Mary McCormack is blasé, blunt, seemingly bored, and most definitely always bothered.....McCormack is such a good actress she gets away with Shannon's parade of bad behavior.....The new USA series, premiering June 1st at 10 pm, has a compelling cast of supporting characters;.... ...
