    I have stopped watching this show the background music is so annoying, loud, unnecessary and without any consideration for the viewer. It is really quite pathetic and adds nothing to the value of the programme.

    Absolutely love this series, it's something completely different and I just hope they continue what they're doing and people support it. A great cast, a great story and am really enjoying this, 10/10 from me.

    While intriguing and entertaining at first, Blindspot soon falls short when story lines are becoming cliche and unoriginal like every other procedural.

    The first two seasons were great and it should have ended there like it seemed to. Once again a TV show is trying to create more seasons using an unbelievable story line, more mystery tattoos?

    Good series He knows how to maintain the intrigue and interest in each chapter.
    Good rotation of secondary characters.
    Interesting and well-crafted patterns.

    Talk about starting strong and then going down hill fast. The premise and first half of the first season was really pretty good, but by the end of season 1 it was trash... and season 2 doesn't get any better between the bad acting and shaky camera work. Oh and the plot goes to hell too.

    'Blindspot' can be entertaining at times and have two amusing leads but it lacks substance and the storyline seems repetitive and unengaging. I'm also not a big fan of the way it is filmed, looks childish and it feels amateurish.

    Awesome premise, but there are far too many unrealistic actions and situations, and the acting is so-so.

    I enjoyed the first couple of episodes, but the requirement for suspense of disbelief eventually overcame me.

    Does anyone find Jan's emotional touchy- feely sessions in each of the episodes annoying? The action in the series is great and the story line is interesting but the "get in touch with my emotions" side of it is distracting and it appears each episode has to have 10 minutes or so of it. With a strong male character fresh from Strikeback this could be a good show. Please...less novella stuff.

    And the Panavision cameras have a big problem. I do not know what format you record in JC2, JP2K, JP4K or MPEG but whatever process is used to convert the picture to MPEG has a serious flaw when going to I-Frames to P-Frames. The picture is full of stutters and jumps.

    The series has an interesting start but since then every single episode had a ridiculous plot. The dialogue is incredibly bad, so bad that it becomes funny at times. The acting is also one of the worst I've seen on TV in the past 30 years. In a nutshell this series is arguably the absolute worst thing you can watch on TV for the time being.

    As hard as I tried I just don’t understand this show. The authorities find a naked woman with tattoos all over her body and the next scene she’s carrying a gun and going after the bad guys. Huh?

    Jamie Alexander’s last TV acting role as on another ‘quirky’ show a few years ago called Kyle XY. It seems she likes appearing on such programs.

    "Blindspot" has a very interesting premise but it's being diluted by the usual compromises of network tv. It appears their formula is that they decode a puzzle off her each episode which provides for a crime-of-the-week so that's disappointingly predictable. And their setting this within the framework of the FBI just breeds lots of "they wouldn't do that" plausibility commentary.

This is one of those series where there's an underlying, series long mystery to be unveiled and resolved ("Lost" anyone?!) so I'm thinking we're not going to get anywhere with this until the final episode of the season with all preceding episodes just slow dripping the clues, usually in the final scene.

    It’s a lot of unwieldy plot points--borrowing indiscriminately from “Alias,” “National Treasure,” and “John Doe.” What keeps it together is Alexander’s performance.
