I thought the main story of tonight would have been much more compelling than it turned out to be. Loaded with cliche’s, “Good Cop Bad Cop” was only good for advancing the love triangle of Mary-Raphael-Brandi, which ended up being a little disappointing, frankly.

The love triangle is the only aspect of the story that lasts for more than one episode. Mary and Marshall protecting a dirty cop didn’t pan out to be all that interesting of a story. And the fact that he and Mary slept together a while back didn’t make it any more compelling.

The end of “Good Cop Bad Cop” left me very curious about Brandi. Her past hasn’t been discussed all that much. What she has to transport for her “friend”, whether it’s drugs or money, isn’t going to go well, I suspect. I can’t wait for Mary to have to come to Brandi’s rescue at some point because she’s gotten in over her head.

The one constant in this show is humor. The dialogue on the show reminds me The West Wing — it’s very fast paced. Because there is so much dialogue, and its spoken so quickly, the jokes are over and done before you know it, leaving little time to react. If things were toned down a little bit, I think people would get more enjoyment out of In Plain Sight.

Rating: 5.2
