Jaimie Alexander is "a fine actor,” says Alex McCown, "but her character’s defining trait is pitiably staring into a mirror, wondering who she is. If the people surrounding her were anything beyond a stock assemblage of types (the gung-ho agent who can’t be bothered with niceties, the sympathetic female assistant, some barely-there FBI toughs), this wouldn’t be as big of a problem. But unless the show quickly works to inject some vibrancy into these rote roles, Blindspot will leave audiences without much reason to care.” PLUS: Blindspot’s blind spot is its off-putting use of women as props (http://www.vulture.com/2015/09/blindspot-review-women-as-props.html), at least Blindspot is different and eye-catching (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/blindspot-tv-review-822829), and Blindspot works if you don’t think about it too hard (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/21/blindspot-ew-review).
