I totally missed the existence of that!
Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I barely heard about it before it started and I have no idea why - poor promotion or me living under a rock seem equally plausible.But it's good!
It's a John Rogers show which is why I wanted to watch it.
That's pretty much why I started watching it. And why I am confused about not hearing about it. I must be subscribed to the wrong blog. Anyway, it's definitely got that pulp thing going on. And Wesley Snipes appears to be having a good time.
Because "Limitless" proved so much better than its ads suggested, I took a chance on"Blindspot" My warning: "Blindspot" is at least as bad as the publicity suggest, maybe worse. The "clue" containing tattoos on amnesiac Taylor Shaw are an excuse to squeeze in as many nude shots of Jaimie Alexander as possible. Fir variety the nude scenes are punctuated by poorly staged gun battles, explosions, and hand t0 hand combat. There is also intermittent manpain on the part of a department store mannequin er I mean Sullivan Stapleton.
Goodness, Stapelton's line readings are some of the most stilted, wooden mumblings I've ever heard. I want to like the show for Alexander's sake, 'cause I love her as Sif. But Blindspot is making that difficult.
Oh god, glad I read that, I was about to give Blindspot a chance.
I find Blindspot to be a good background noise procedural, which pretty much fits my needs for TV at the moment. Anything that requires too much attention is hard to follow while taking care of ltc. I didn't recognize the lead as the same actress that plays Sif!
Jaimie Alexander is pretty good in it, as is Ashley Johnson, but Sullivan Stapleton is just terrible, and he brings the whole show down with him. It's also a really stupid premise.
He was quite good in the 300 sequel, and people used to rave about him on Strikeback (where he apparently had far less trouble maintaining an American accent). I'm inclined to blame Martin Gero for everything wrong with this trainwreck.
I do mourn the fact that Jaime Alexander isn't the lead on a Lady Sif series instead of this dreck, though.
