    Mary doesn't win 'em all, but In Plain Sight is a W for USA.

    With this shaded tone and careful plotting going for it, In Plain Sight is a welcome addition to USA's line-up of detective shows. Especially when it keeps focused on the new places and new identities, rather than the old memories.

    In Plain Sight already seems tired with its crime-of-the-week, flawed-protagonist self.

    Could be a good show, but relegates stars to typical Hollywood dysfunctional characters. Nothing redeeming about current story plots. Predict short life w/o major rewrite. Too bad. I was a deputy US Marshal and know how interesting this program could be-challenging Law & Order.… Expand

    Mary McCormack is drowning in this show! Her talent is wasted with the listless scripts, the very unfunny characters and the awful supporting cast. Put the show out of its misery.… Expand
