I'm also pretty unhappy with how they seem to want to go with this show but I'll give it a few episodes before I pass judgement.I read an interview with the show's network exec where he said "It's not necessarily a fairy tale, but we don't need to have everybody broken and bloody, crying on the floor." I'm pretty sure those were the moments where I decided that this show was actually worth watching above all the other fairly bland stuff on air right now. I really liked how they would pull these scenes off very dramatically but maintaining a very realistic tone throughout.   See 7 other replies

As said it wasn't bad acting just odd and out of place. It probably would have been better to have a anger induced, maybe punch the wall and start crying while leaning up against it instead of the sit down crying.   See 16 other replies

I agree with the posters above. This show thus far has showed real people as whole persons with real problems in real life, messy though it is. I think that is what resonates with viewers. To take out the dark elements and to get rid of the tension between Mary's personal life and her work environment would succeed only in changing "In Plain Sight" into another cookie cutter procedural cop show. It would be the death of the show. There are plenty of those shows out there that are popular and do what they do well. What drives this show is unique. Why do TV producers (and music producers, too, for that matter) so often kill what is best and unique and insist on conforming everything into this bland, cookie cutter mush that supposedly is what sells best? There is a place for that kind of show (or music) obviously, but NOT at the expense of good quality art that is different, unique, and usually superior in quality. When will producers "get it"?   See 7 other replies
