A beautiful woman, with no memories of her past, is found naked in Times Square with her body fully covered in intricate tattoos. Her discovery sets off a vast and complex mystery that immediately ignites the attention of the FBI, which begins to follow the road map on her body into a larger conspiracy of crime, while bringing her closer to discovering the truth about her identity. A mysterious woman is found zipped up (alive) in a duffel bag, in Times Square. This Jane Doe has no memory of who she is or how she arrived there but is found to be nearly completely covered in cryptic tattoos. The FBI is called in to investigate, and the tattoos are revealed to be a mysterious 'treasure map' to preventing crime. Instead of watching the news and hearing the same stuff, different day, I chose to watch Blindspot. The show is about a FBI group in New York. In the latest episode, the director of the FBI tries to forge documents for an illegal alien that he is in love with. His girlfriend goes on to say that it isn't her fault that she is illegal, then invents a innacturate process to become legal. It takes me 4 minutes to Google and determine the legal process towards citizenship, this woman had 30 years and still nothing. Why is it that everyone, including hollywood, is blaming Republicans for following the law?? I tried too hard to like this show, and that's on me. IMDb reviewers were clear in their warnings and I would have benefited from reading them before putting effort into finding a mindset that made this show watchable.<br/><br/>7.6 stars with over 35k votes, it turns out is not a valid reason to turn off my brain and indulge without looking further.<br/><br/>Is it more reasonable to believe the executives who green-lighted this insult to intelligence are astonishingly incompetent or that they are willfully and accurately targeting their demographic? To me, they're saying if you're smart enough to hook up a Roku, you wouldn't be watching NBC anyway; and I kind of feel like they're giving me the finger.<br/><br/>It's easy to beat the show up for it's lack of originality, plot structure, acting, believablity, etc. But what caught me off guard was how the IMDb ratings have devolved. It's not something I believe should be campaigned against or can be changed, it's just a fact that a you cannot see a high number and attach any expectations to that.<br/><br/>I learned my lesson with Blindspot. The 3 stars I gave are what I believe it earned. I didn't inflate like some admit, to offset what I thought was unfair, or give a flat 1 star because the show "wasted my time" and I'm mad.
