TV-Reviewed

We’re now seven episodes in and I’ve yet to fall in love with the show in the same manner I did with many of the other USA Network shows over the years. I enjoy In Plain Sight, but I’m just not loving it yet.

Mary and Marshall had quite a problem on their hands this week when a young girl witnesses a gang shooting and she and her family have to be relocated for their safety. Things are hampered by the arrogant father.

Marshall hasn’t had to run the show very much. Mary tends to do that with Marshall doing a thing here and there in the background. Frankly, I’d like to see Marshall take control a little more often. He’s not that intimidating-looking, but he seems to be able to handle himself… verbally at least. He stood up to the doctor without too much hesitation. I thought Wendell Pierce (The Wire) did a good job of portraying the father.

For the past couple of weeks, the writers have been hinting at a possible love triangle with Mary, Brandi, and Raph. It gets a little play here and there, but that story was certainly a go here. Raph is Mary’s girlfriend, more or less, but Brandi is getting closer every week, though she doesn’t want anyone to think so.

None of the witness protection storylines have done a whole lot for me thus far. I’m really just here for the characters and their interesting behavior.

Rating: 6.8
