Blindspot is one of the shows I DVR and watch when I have time. It's not a great show. It never was a great show. But I watch because I started watching and now do it out of habit.
Well last Friday's episode started a new story line where the girlfriend (now fiancee) of the Asst Director of the FBI (Reid) turns out to be an illegal immigrant. She explains that her uncle got her family to the US on forged documents when she was a little girl. She didn't discover it until she was 16, and now she has a flourishing career as a journalist, and doesn't want to be deported to a country she never really knew.
The story line materialized out of thin air and had no reason to be there. It seems like NBC just got a memo from the DNC to add a sympathetic DREAMER character (do they even need a memo? They are probably more than happy to carry water without prompting).
It is insidious and odious how the networks use their platform to subtly normalize liberal positions. There are very few shows that are good enough to overcome this kind of nonsense. Blindspot is definitely not one of them. I am done watching.This message has been edited. Last edited by: ChicagoSigMan,

It's NBC. It was only a matter of time.

For us, it was good at first and slowly sank into oblivion. We lost track of it a few years ago.

Either way. Liberals are destroyers, and must destroy all the things.

This is why we can't have anything nice. Like tv shows.
Gonna be fun to watch the Archie Bunker remake. Not.

Was wondering if it was just me getting tired of it or what? This thread put the end to my interest in the series.
Thank you guys for the time I won't waste watching more episodes.

It's not the first nor will it be the last. I saw a recent episode of Law n Order SVU where the cops kept saying "B B B But we are a sanctuary city" as ICE hauled an illegal off to be deported.

Well, shoot. I just came across this on Hulu (trying to decide if I want to continue subscribing) and watched three episodes.
A Jason Bourne-ish plot with a couple of twists: The amnesiac super-hero is a woman with a body full of new tattoos. The tattoos are all clues to the weekly episodes.
OK, so it's pretty contrived. I kept thinking it was NBC, so at some point the suspension of disbelief would become so tedious that I couldn't help but discontinue watching.
Reading the horrible sub-plots to come, I guess getting out now is the best thing.
Hulu, I think you and I are done.
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.
