BellaOnline Forums TV and Movies Specialty Channels Are you watching In Plain Sight on USA?

I watched the pilot last week of USA's new series In Plain Sight. I can't wait for the new episode tonight! I love Mary McCormack!

My favorite parts was when did the "faking it" on the phone call to the mobster and also loved the bar bathroom scene.

The whole show is great!

Has anybody else noticed that the guy Marshall has played a bad guy on Law and Order CI & SVU and on Monk?

Gues he had to play a good guy at tome point! LOL

ALSO, the boyfriend is also played by Cristian La Fuente from Dancing with the Stars. This was my first time seeing him off DWTS but I do enjoy him as an actor AND a dancer.

Mary McCormack is doing a great job with her role as Mary Shannon. I like the character's tough demeanor but its obvious she is still affected by the people she has to protect. But then how would you not? I think its a funny and interesting show so I'll definitely be watching..

We just watched the first two episodes last night. I'm sort of hesitant on this one. We love the Closer and we love Saving Grace. I think this is trying to capitalize on that "strong 'bad' woman in the police" mentality. So a lot of it so far is very stereotypical. The boss is over the top in his brain-deadness. Mary is over the top in her being obnoxious in rule breaking. Why malign the cop when she parks in the wrong place? Why make fun of the barroom guy's manhood size, never mind assault him with soap? A lot of it felt very forced.

But then again, all of the other shows I mentioned had intro shows that were equally as "stiff" because the actors hadn't worked into the characters yet, and the writers hadn't figured out what to do yet. I think just as the other shows eased into a more enjoyable, sharp writing style over time that this one has potential too.

We did laugh out loud at the whole "Columbo" segment. That was brilliant

I agree with you Lisa. Most shows take a while to really get set into a rhythm. So far, I found the show pretty entertaining and the characters endearing. They definitely have had some story lines so far and I see the potential for more in the future. And how adorable was the little boy she had to protect? I liked that she bonded with the kid, but then how could you not? he was pretty adorable, almost like what I would image Mary being like as a child... tough and sassy but still quote lovable.
