I'm actually surprised by how much I liked Blindspot. It's easy for this show to get lost in the shuffle of all the other crime shows to choose from because there are a million of them. Don't let it though. It's one of the better ones that's been on in the last few years. This show not only met my expectations but surpassed them in every way. It has an intriguing premise with so many twists and turns that it will keep you wanting more. The mystery and action was good enough to hook me from the very first episode. This show ended on its own and wasn't cancelled on a cliffhanger so you get to see the finished story. All that mystery pays off in the end and finishes with a satisfying finale.

Blindspot starts with a naked woman, Jane Doe (Jaime Alexander), in the middle of Times Square with no memory of who she is or how she got there. Her body is full of fresh tattoos which turns out that each one is a clue to a major crime. Agent Kurt Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) and his FBI team (Ashley Johnson, Rob Brown, Audrey Esparza) try to solve the tattoos and discover who Jane Doe really is and how she got these tattoos. It's a show filled with action, mystery, twists sand turns, etc. At the very least it's a show that will keep you entertained and intriguing enough to keep you coming back to watch.
Blindspot started off great, Seasons 1 & 2 were entertaining and I found myself binge watching it on Hulu. Season 3 was okay, it was kinda boring in the beginning as I felt myself slowly getting less and less interested and stopped watching it a few episodes in. I eventually came back to it about 2 weeks later, and finished season 3 and was surprised it had picked up quite a bit and had struck my interest again. However, season 4 has been quite a different story. The series takes quite a turn and almost immediately becomes quite honestly terrible. The acting is progressively getting worse. The story has done essentially a 180 degree turn and things hardly make any sense anymore. It's safe to say it becomes extremely disappointing.

Despite the pretty couple and specially beautiful actress, this series has not much to add. it's just another sad plot that could have happened had the lead actor not been so hard and unimpressive.
It is good to see how well it was photographed but unfortunately the camera man has weak hands or the production had no money to buy a tripod.
After two episodes the viewer is totally dizzy with rough zoom ins and outs, very fast re framing and sudden psycho moves that turns the whole history into an optical nightmare.
I really don't know what's the intended effect that it might produce but it hasn't reach its goal.

After 5 seasons, it has finally come to an end. It was a really good series. I enjoyed it. The characters are likable, you grow into them and explore their world with them and it ended well, a very befitting end after 5 years.

Have faithfully watched this series from day one an have always found it enjoyable and credible.
However an unfortunate downturn has taken place,
Scripts have become more and more outlandish and unbelievable.
Time to call a halt.

I'd actually give this an 8.5, but decided to round up vs. down to counter balance some of the negative recent reviews submitted by others. I thought Jaimie Alexander was great and demonstrated her talent in this role more than I've seen from her in past roles such as Thor and The Brink. Sullivan Stapleton's acting was admittedly a little wooden in the pilot, but I liked his tough guy persona in Strike Back & think he'll grow into this role with time also. Yes, the story line is completely far-fetched and unrealistic. Yes, the plot does borrow from different formulas we've seen before, but not in a way that's a total rip off from other movies or TV. It doesn't have the originality of Mr Robot or the grittiness of True Detective, but it's fun popcorn entertainment. If you put Bourne Identity, Blacklist and Momento into a blender, you'd end up Blindspot!
Been watching since the beginning. Through the seasons some episodes have been hard to watch, hard to follow and watching the characters act and interact is somewhat cringing. Some episodes are not interesting, poor acting and the chemistry between the characters are hit or miss. This season is by far the worst! The train in the show has gone off the track. It's time to cut the loss and move on.

Just literally finish the final episode, it's a surprising ending one of those that makes you think, it's a good series I watched from day one, kind of sad that it's over, good twists each season I recommend it

The first two seasons are amazing. The third and fourth season are not as good as the first two, but they are still good. The fith season however, is where I feel that the writers kind of lost it. At this beginning of this show I was positive that this was going to be a 10/10 show for me. But since I personally feel that the show started to get worse after the third season, I could not rate a 10. All in all this is a great show and I would definitely recommend it.
If you are someone that has been looking for shows similar to Blindspot, I could also highly recommend either Homeland or Blacklist.

I am really disappointed in the turn Blindspot has taken. I'm sick of the Roman storyline & his seemingly unbreakable hold on Jane. Also,Jane talks through gritted teeth all the time,which is extremely annoying. We started out really enjoying this show,but we are fast losing interest.
Enjoyed the show the first couple of seasons. But pretty hard to watch anymore. Acting is terrible, stories are just prolonging the end of a series. Think it's ran it's course.

Jane Doe, the main female character in 'Blindspot,' doesn't know who she is, but she has abilities not possessed by the average person - male or female. She is vulnerable only in that she has no memory, and she doesn't know who put tattoos over her whole body, addressed to the FBI. But, there her vulnerability ends. When threatened, Jane kicks butt as well as any man, better than most. It doesn't hurt that she's drop-dead gorgeous; we're talking TV after all. This is, in my humble opinion, THE best offering of this TV season. Complete with a brooding FBI agent who has some serious issues, who happens to work for a tough woman senior agent, 'Blindspot' is set to defy all of the cinematic stereotypes about female characters, and it's about time.
If you are after narratives that are purely factual and literal, then Blindspot may not be the one for you. If it is sheer escapism and a non-stop cavalcade of exciting events that hold your attention, then give Blindspot a go.
A naked woman turns up in an abandoned bag in the the middle of Times Square in New York, and she has no memory of who she is and she's tattooed from head to foot. The only immediately decipherable symbol or number on her tattooed body is a reference to an FBI agent. From the point on, her existence is an emotional roller-coaster as the FBI analyses her tattoos and attempts to establish her identity. As the meaning of each symbol and number is revealed, the plot becomes more complicated and the woman involved more confused and unstable.
I like the show very much and I understand series two is being shown in the USA at the moment.

Creative, exciting, new twists, great action; why do we watch TV? There's always a new clue, a new story, a twist to add that keeps you wanting to watch the next week. She is a top trained pro, and there is a level of doubt. The character interactions between Jane and Heller are complex, close, tense, loving yet harsh and unpredictable. The build-up of all the characters on the team is well thought out, not haphazard, and slowly creates a solid cast, just like CSI Miami, or the Sopranos was developed. This show captures your interest and is unlike another cop, medical or court series I've seen in a long-time.
I really looked forward to this show and I am not at all disappointed. I cant give it a 10 but a 9 does just fine. The characters are interesting and I find myself looking forward to each episode! 7/10

When i start watch the show, i don't know what to expect, but with every episode the story develop and characters too. The end of first season will be exciting and i'm sure it will prepare the viewers to season two. I like how the crew behind series trying to develop every main character and we about for every of them little by every next episode. Dynamic of episodes is good. Have everything: action, thriller, mystery and some puzzle to resolve. Yes, sometimes i notice a mistakes, but often they aren't in story line, and in successive scenes, but not so significant for story . Generally i like the show and i hope "Blindspot" has a bright future.
Since the days of Michael Scofield from Prison Break it's been a rare occasion that a character has plot line literally tattooed on their body. Blindspot offers a couple of intriguing gimmicks and mysteries with the premise of savant consultant and stern officer, but it tends to be the same investigation cop drama again. Its original hook might not endure its barren plot device, underlying secret or romance subplot.
Jane Doe (Jaimie Alexander) pops up in Time Square, wearing nothing but full body tattoo. After thorough inspections, some of these flesh drawings are related to ongoing crime or terrorist act. It becomes clear that this will be your typical case-of-the-week gimmick, while the main plot of her mysterious identity is gradually revealed.
The most successful example of this premise in recent time is Blacklist. Unfortunately, Blindspot doesn't have the charismatic lead character, it goes with a more vulnerable Jane Doe for more sympathy effect. The other role of agent (Kurt Weller) Sullivan Stapleton, since the procedural show needs one authority figure for the dysfunctional buddy cop role, is not really memorable.
These two serve as eccentric consultant and stoic agent, which may have a bit romance subplot. It's honestly a bit dull, but Blindspot still has a shot with the mystery. The use of her tattoos can be interesting as long as it's consistent and not random patches for typical cop show. Psychology aspect should not fall to usual amnesiac cliché, which can be hard considering the premise, but it already sets Jane Doe for her own personality.
It also keeps the setting as part of story. The later episodes might not have grand Times Square or famous landmarks, but if it continues to played out in more natural environment, not just dreary office or facility, it will be more realistic to audience. It'd be even better if the tattoo or symbology could correspondent to distinct plot or particular of the episode.
There's a lot of inherit hindrances of this theme. For example, how much influence this girl can have or how the series handle the memory loss. It may pique audience's curiosity with the concept, but it would be a tough sell since the other elements feel overused.

Quite the entertaining show indeed. I enjoy the plot lines, however at times quite predictable. The story is compelling and makes the viewer want to come back week after week. The action is exciting and driving. Like most drama's but worth a watch. However it is like most cop shows "Crime committed, cops hear about crime, try to collect the evidence, Figure out who,what,when,where. Solve crime, catch or shoot crook." I like where Jane's tattoo's are a link to the crimes, and makes me wonder will they ever get to the bottom of huge list of tats on her body. Will she ever regain her total recall. Must watch to find out. Excitement week after week and another problem solved.

I watched the first two seasons, liked them, intriged me in some way.
Then I went for the third season, but halfway episode two I quit.
What are they doing with the camera's? It gives me headaches. From left to right, shaky, stupid close ups, person 1 in close up because he's speaking, person 2 in close up because she answering, then back to person 1 because he continues. Really horrible.
So I quit, no clue about anything, but the lousy camerawork made me stop.

Blindspot is a pretty gosh darn good FBI show.
This is just one of those things that is generally entertaining. There is a nice mix of more serious stuff and sakes with some decent humor causing the show to never feel like its trying too hard to be dark or light.
Sure, it has it lows. The filler episodes in season three feel recycled while season four has good filler episodes, but a weak over-arching story. A couple of the supporting FBI members lack chemistry. But it also has some great highs, including some great comic relief, a fine performance from lead Jaimie Alexander, and a unique feel.
I recommend this.

I don't know at what age kids would find this blunder to be good. Whatever happens and wherewver it happens, its these 6 FBI agents always around. They seem to get lucky with clues and be at the right time at the right place every single time. Nothing makes sense.
