Reviews

PaulaMary This is a great show, despite being predictable now and again. I love the characters and I love the soundtrack. Both Mary and Marshall are complicated and interesting people. Mary's family is as crazy as any family can be, but as the saying goes, every crazy family is crazy in it's own way. I wish we knew more about Marshall's life because he's easily one of the most interesting men on television, despite having no personal life whatsoever. He's well read and wry and very patient and insightful. Only drawback: I miss Robert Dershowitz! My husband and I blew a rainy Saturday watching one episode after the next on Netflix. As rainy Saturdays go, it was a good one.

laurakay30 Love this show - Have just watched all 3 seasons back to back and love it - i'm now getting withdrawal symptoms waiting for Season 4 . I Love the interplay between Marshall and Mary, and how she copes with such a screwed up family life . I hope that this show runs and runs for many more seasons. To hear more Marshallisms and to see whether or not they eventually get it together as its so obviously Marshall is in love with Mary. Think they should bring back Eleanor thou it was so funny watching her and Mary Bitch at each other.The Guest actors they have had so far are of high calibre with the likes of Alison Janney & Joshua Malina. Roll on Season 4

S.R. Dipaling Tough,no-nonsense Fed Marshall Mary Shannon(Mary McCormack)juggles both her job as a lead agent in the Witness Relocation/Protection Program and her role as the one anchored(relatively speaking)sister and daughter of a VERY fractious,dysfunctional family. And you think YOU have problems...This fairly new offering from USA Network is an effective and largely sympathetic fusion of action,drama and dark comedy. Sort of a less "cool" version of "Burn Notice" or "Psych",but still a smart,consistent show with characters that are a good match for each other:Mary's partner Marshall--yes,a MarshaLL NAMED Marshall(Fred Weller,never missing a beat)--whose propensity for wit and droll banter doesn't make him any less a dedicated and able agent;her boss(Paul Ben-Victor)a harried but patient supervisor,primarily because he knows his agents can and will do the job;Mary's sister(Nichole Hiltz),an alcoholic with responsibility problems,and Mary's mother(Lesley Anne Warren,STILL sexy!),a chemically post-dependent drama queen whose issues mirror at least one of her daughters(guess which one). To say that Miss McCormack is able to infuse her character with the right amount of tough over emotional would seem like an obvious overstatement,but its still true nonetheless. previously somewhat lost--though never forgettable--in previous movie parts like Howard Stern's Private Parts,Deep Impact or 1408,she's give a chance to shine and takes it. Sunday nights(when this show is,at least for now,slated to run)are tough nights(in a good way,I suppose)for TV viewers because EVERYONE,from network to cable seems to bring out their best stuff. While some may think that a show like this may be unfairly matched against things like "Desperate Housewives","Brothers and Sisters","Cold Case","The Unit","Mad Men","Eastbound and Down","The Tudors" and "Breaking Bad"(among others!),I feel like this show holds its own very well regardless. I suppose that this is what TiVo is for. As I see it,this unique,funny and show deserves a chance,wherever it runs.

del hart Mary McCormack is the only believable actor/actress i have seen in a police drama series since Helen Mirren in the early Prime Suspect stories. She is not like your Without a Trace or Numbers cops, that seem to be posing for every shot, or putting folders over there bodies to cover up the fact that they are going to have a baby, Mary McCormack's character in "In Plain Sight" is the reason to watch this program, she really is amazing, as a in your face, don't give a damn, down to earth veteran US Marshall the stories are not bad, getting better in fact, some of the other cast are a bit hammy, , so what, over all its an entertaining show, with some great one liners, plenty of action and i can only hope that the networks realize that they have little gem of a series here and give it a fair chance, and not kill it off before it starts, so to speak.
