Anyone watching this show? From NBC: I like the puzzle aspect of the show. Believe it or not, the analyst (Ashley Johnson) is Chrissy Seaver from "Growing Pains." |

boxofrocks- it's right up there with Quantico in that it's losing steam for me. I like Jane Doe as a character better than Alex Parrish, but over all I like the Quantico cast more.
Like you, I'm intrigued by the puzzle aspect of the tattoos, but I'm suspending too much disbelief to really care about the weekly cases.

I'm enjoying it, but it feels like they're taking their time giving any real information. A bit more story advancement would be nice. And I didn't know she was Chrissy Seaver! That's why she always seemed so familiar.  |

Oh they're going to drag out the central mystery as long as possible. After NBC tried and failed to launch other new shows in The Blacklist's wake, it looks like they finally decided to throw all the same elements together (female with mysterious background, male who works with/looks after her, really dumb FBI agents) with some alterations. Being in The Blacklist's old time spot helps, too - and just like that show, I have pretty much given up on any real answers about Jane's background. It's just easier that way. So far, I enjoy the ridiculous cases. I don't have to think too much and it's not too soapy. It's also fun to watch the actor playing Kurt Weller decide whether to mumble-growl through a scene or not. |

Is anyone else still watching this?
I watch it every week it's on (there's only so much scripted drama on Monday nights) and I don't mind it at all.
Just a totally random question about tonight's episode; when did TV shows (unless totally intentional for the fans to notice) start using actual phone numbers and displaying them for the audience to see? I haven't called it to find out, but this was not a typical 555 number and it's a little close to my own cell #, TBH. Ideas? (The number was 818-478-5090) With this being a cryptic, clue-based show I wondered if maybe this was something along those lines.

I watched 4 or 5 episodes and just kinda dropped it. Does it get better? Of course, the first episode grabbed me, after that...meh.

I still watch, but I do tend to roll my eyes a bit. It's not as out-and-out bad as Quantico, but there are lots of secrets with everyone involved and it gets a bit tedious for me. I'll keep watching out of hope that the story will progress a bit more soon.

I'm liking the show more now that Jane/Kurt aren't being forced down our throats. Not sure how many conspiracies are going on, but all of this mistrust/lies amongst the team members is ridiculous. How are they supposed to have each other's back when they are constantly suspicious of each other?
Smart, but dumb people, annoy me. I like Patterson, but her cutesy, nerd relationship with David grated on my nerves. Following clues to David's scavenger hunt was the epitome of stupid and reckless. I know she's grieving, but damn...

I know she's grieving, but damn... That really, really bothered me, too. I mean, did she not learn ANYTHING from venturing out on her own with the tattoos from the last time? You know, WHEN DAVID GOT MURDERED!? Jesus. I mean, yes like you said, she's grieving and dealing with things because of this tragic and unexpected loss...but you've already seen the badies related to the tats and you're just playing with fire to the nth degree. She's still my favorite character of the show and I think they just want to give her more to do in the field. She's no JJ from Criminal Minds (where she went from case worker/Profiler to full on in the field Profiler) and never will be. But I think they're better off keeping her in the office and if they have to let her interact with the team more outside, just do this on maybe less serial killer/human trafficking-esq kind of cases. Call me crazy. |
