Critic Reviews

Alan Sepinwall

Season 1 Review: In Plain Sight is a definite for any summer TV To-Watch list; don't cross it off until you've seen at least one. Read full review

Ken Tucker

Season 1 Review: The plots are often unbelievable. But I like Mary, especially as she's set up in the series premiere, complete with a wacky mom. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Season 1 Review: The plots are a little obvious--you can usually stay a jump or two ahead of the revelations--but the actors keep you well distracted. Read full review

Jonathan Storm

Season 1 Review: In Plain Sight may not offer the newest characters on the block, but they're diverting, and at least they can spell. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Season 1 Review: McCormack, a rangy actress who looks more comfortable in Mary Shannon's tank tops and casual jackets than she ever did in the lawyerly business suits she wore way back on "Murder One," manages to make all this crankiness intermittently endearing. Read full review

Robert Bianco

Season 1 Review: The writers overplay the banter and allow Mary to become so harsh, you wonder why even the most devoted partner puts up with her. But for the most part, as long as McCormack and Weller are together, or sharing time with their boss (Paul Ben-Victor), the show functions as harmless hot-weather pleasure. Read full review

Robert Abele

Season 1 Review: In Plain Sight already seems tired with its crime-of-the-week, flawed-protagonist self. Read full review

Interesting show, the strength of which is the acting of the female lead. She's a powerhouse on screen. Highly recommended.
