if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Please don't be like the networks that cancel a show after a couple of episodes. I feel that In Plain Sight keeps getting better. Give it a chance! I'm no great fan of Psych or Burn Notice but I keep watching. Some episodes I like...Some episodes I don't like. And for all of you Monk fans out there...Did you pay attention to who wrote the theme song for In Plain Sight? Jeff Beal! Credit watchers unite! In fact I came to IMDb to find out who played Horst (David Foley) in one episode of In Plain Sight. It took until that episode for the show to hook me and it was the 4th episode, I think. I'm a big time fan of Monk and not all Monk episodes are great. In Plain Sight has potential so please don't write it off too soon.

With the addition of In Plain Sight, it's official...the summer cable shows like The Closer, Saving Grace, Burn Notice and Damages are so much better than anything the major networks have to offer during the "regular" season. Love the chemistry between Mary and Marshall. Love the quick quips and the realistic dialog. And the addition of a fine looking black detective with the unlikely name of Dershowitz for Mary to butt heads and crack wise with is pure gold.I do agree that the mother and sister are best in small doses, but they do provide a nice slightly off-balance counterpoint to the thoroughly professional handle Mary has on her work life. One line describes the relationship beautifully: in replying to her n'er-do-well sister's question about why Mary won't just get rid of her defective car, she says "because, like my family, I love it a little more than I want to kill it." The people she's protecting have been getting better and better with each successive show. The most recent, David Foley, was a real hoot as an assassin's middleman.All in all, I don't care if it's not exactly as law enforcement would do it. I'm not looking for authenticity in a summer show. I'm looking for fun, and In Plain Sight has it in spades.

I spent 21 years as a sworn law enforcement officer working in the patrol, training, and evidence divisions. Before retiring I was admitted to give opinion evidence in the field of finger and palm print identification, development and preservation of latent evidence in that field in both the District Courts of the State of Texas and before Fifth Judicial Circuit of the Federal Court System. Further I also retired from the military as a senior Noncommissioned Officer E-7.I have generally enjoyed the majority of your Law and Order series, with few exceptions. Having had the opportunity on several occasions to work with Deputies of the US Marshals Service, I looked forward to the inauguration of your new series. Having seen the first three offerings I am severely disappointed.I have no doubt that by now disgusted Deputy Marshals around the country cringe in horror when ever your show is mentioned. The plots are contrived and unbelievable, unlike the greater majority of the Law and Order series.Especially your last offering. Unbelievable. Two allegedly experienced and firearms qualified Deputy Marshalls fired, (assuming 13 rd 9mm magazines) a minimum of 91 rounds in the general direction of bad guys standing in the open – she fired two magazines (26 rds) from the inside of the vehicle; he fired from the rear of the car after getting back up, assuming at the apparent rate of fire at least one 13 rd magazine. They both fired two full magazines (total of 52 rds.), standing in front of the car as the baddies were fleeing to their car while also returning fire.One baddie and one Marshall took a hit. The baddie what looked like a minor if painful through and through in the upper muscle of the right arm, and the marshal a serious sucking chest wound in the right chest.During the inevitable after action review normal in any agency following a shooting incident, they both would have been called to account for their lousy shooting if for nothing else in the entire procedural comedy of errors. I have over the years qualified on a regular basis first with the .38 and .357 revolver, later with the .45 government model, and later with the 9mm Glock and Berretta Model 9 and FS 92. As a civilian police officer we were required to qualify every 6 months, and in the military annually and before deployments. I have to wonder if either of these "Deputies" have ever fired anything other than subsonic blanks in prop firearms.I won't even start on the quality of either the acting or the character development of the principles.

I watched all of the first episode and 10 minutes of the second before giving up. The characters are very contrived, weak story lines and the acting is very bad however I did like the scenery around Albuquerque.Bits seemed to have been lifted from many successful or semi successful TV show and thrown together in the hope that the mix will spawn a winner not the mongrel that it is. The sponging mother, drugged out, useless sister, dysfunctional personal life and very unfunny one-liners made me cringe. It reminded me of a poor rehash of Burn Notice without the humor. Warring incompetent governmental agencies (FBI, Marshals, Police etc)have all been done to death.The credibility of the first script was next to zero - a NY mafia hit-man relocated to ABQ stretched me but I went with it but the Witness Protection people still calling him by his old name - don't think so. The son keeping his old NY driving license - nope. The mother's noisy sex - eeww.This will only keep on the air if there is nothing to replace it but I would bet money it will be axed by next season.
