I watched the first 20 episodes of Blindspot. There are 100 altogether.
The premise is intriguing.
A mysterious, tattooed woman with no recollection of her past or identity shows up in Time Square NYC.
The FBI discovers that her tattoos contain clues to crimes they must solve.
Jaimie Alexander as Remi "Jane Doe" Briggs is excellent.
I also like Ashley Johnson as Patterson. She's very convincing as the nerd who wants to do the best possible job.
I was far less convinced by Sullivan Stapleton as Kurt Weller, head of the FBI Critical Incident Response Group. He looks the part of the tough guy. But isn't believable.
The show is 72% on Rotten Tomatoes and lasted 5 seasons. A lot of people like this kind of mindless shoot-em-up where the heroes never seem to get hit by AK-47 bad guys.
They survive car crashes without a bruise.
No need for a search warrant for these agents. 
It's non-stop thriller. Like 24 — but not nearly that good.
Seems to me there is a template for every episode. Cliche dialogue is not only allowed, but preferred.
I can imagine writers being asked to 'dumb it down'.
