Time to Say Goodbye: 'In Plain Sight'

mary mccormack and her alter ego mary shannon say goodbye tonight. this is not only the end of a series but the end of new adventures for one of tv's best female characters. i am always amazed that neither ms mccormack nor the show ever received a single emmy nomination. shame shame on the emmy awards. my overall rating for the four season series is a healthy B+. there were a few missteps but what series doesn't falter at times. special mention to frederick weller and paul ben-victor for four years of dedicated and wonderful acting support.

In Plain Sight' and 'Law and Order Criminal Intent' Have Started Their Summer Runs on USA

happily Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe are back in their original roles. Sadly this final season is only eight episodes long. maybe good ratings will change the minds of the powers that be. a really good addition this time around is julia ormand as the psychiatrist goren is forced to see to remain in his job. this could go so so far if the series is extended. so far damn good.

as season finales end on the networks usa brings 'in plain sight' back to fill the void. this season lives up to it's past three seasons with the amazing mary mccormick as the tough yet vulnerable mary shannon. why is this woman constantly ignored come emmy time? if you are not watching this show you are missing an intelligent adult drama. treat yourself.
