In all years of which there have been many few TV shows grabbed and help my attention until the last few years like M.A.S.H. did years ago. Today there are three shows on USA Network I don't believe i have ever missed. Psych, Burn Notice, and now In Plain Sight, They all have there way of getting under your skin on way or the other but In Plain Sight Is the least about the action and or comedy and adventure and more about real life and the interpersonal relationships of the cast as coworkers and those of the family members as well.
Mary has had a hard life from the time she was a small girl until she made a place for her self in the world and it was nearly shattered by her Mother and Sister neither one of which can stand on their own to feet and survive, but she still sticks with them helping, even if reluctantly at times I hurts her inside and makes her having a normal life almost impossible.
She has a boy friend with whom she spends far too little time and for that the relationship will fail, even though he's a nice guy who cares.

Mary Is Back, and she's happy?
The pilot was what caught my attention for this stunning series. though I felt the latter of season one didn't quite quench my thirst for suspense or live up to my expectations.
The excitement for this season was an eye opener, as Mary tried to cope with the trauma she endured last seasons. Mary's sarcastic outbursts weren't as prevalent, but all the other events made up for her character glitches, which proved hilarious on many levels.
Mary was still traumatized over her kidnapping; it makes sense, Mary is one to be in control of her life, her kidnappers took that power away away from from her and left her vulnerable and drained. Ironically, the only thing able to give Mary the power she needs to survive, is the same job which places her life in jeopardy.
We welcome a new character Eleanor Prince, played by Holly Maples. It appears that her role is to put disorder into Mary's lifestyle. Everyone else praises Mary, there must be one person placed to play the opposing role. Mary doesn't really budge, even when Eleanor rearranges the desks- sort of like having someone come into your home and telling...

Consistency,
this is exactly the type of material I appreciate in a series and it is most often rarely seen.
In Plain Sight manages to pull off a consistent 'Wow' of a Season 2! Giving us as viewers two consecutive installments, In My Humboldt Opinion, included.
Mary is now finding her way around her old job and she has 'The Newbie' Eleanor to deal with. As Mary tried to adapt to her surroundings and deal with her past struggles, Eleanor's new furniture arrangement wasn't cutting it. Good Mary was gone and Bitchy Mary was back, giving Eleanor competition for the 'bossy' title she wanted to claim. I smiled when Eleanor confronted Mary about her bossiness, saying that Mary cannot intimidate her, which is funny because by her saying that, Mary probably does intimidate her... as she did everyone. Everyone loves Mary, despite her ways and Eleanor had to earn her stripes, being the 'Newbie' and all!
In this week's case, Mary had to deal with a typical hypochondriac (Jerry); an owner of a marijuana plant testifying against his buyers. I found it surprising that he had a family; a wife and two children.
