Thrilling. Intriguing. On the edge of my seat at times. These come to mind when watching the series premiere of NBC's Blindspot.
The series is about a mysterious woman found in a bag in Times Square; she freaks out the FBI team on who she is and why Agent Kurt Weller has his name tattooed on her back along with others. The team figures out that Jane Doe was drugged with a substance that has made her forget her past.
But when one of the tattoos sparks something, Weller and the team take on a suspect who might know something; it turns out the suspect will plan an explosion of the Statue of Liberty for family reasons.
Jane goes out on the field to help with Weller, who doesn't think it's a good idea. But that changed my mind pretty quickly.
We do get to see some background of who Jane was, like learning how to shoot a gun and also getting drugged by the mysterious breaded man. Who asked the question, what was she doing this for? What was she hiding?
This series started terrific. I was on the edge of my seat at times. The show brings a bit of The Blacklist and Jason Borne.
Jaimie Alexander, who plays Jane Doe, performs excellently, mainly in the outstanding fight scenes. Also, I can't say enough about Sullivan Stapleton as FBI Agent Weller. I'm very much interested to see where this series will be going and who Jane Doe was.
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
You can catch Blindspot on Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC
