Jane

no memory of who she is and her body covered in elaborate tattoos
that all hold the key to her identity. Tattooed on her back is the
name of a FBI Agent Kurt Weller (Stapleton) - though the two have
never met. Soon, the Police realize that the markings on her body
are warning signs of various terrorist attacks across New York City.

defense and combat and becomes an asset in the investigation of
various crimes that spell out clues, all whilst discovering her true

I
found Blindspot
to be an entertaining thrill ride. Mixed with the feel of an
NCIS-type
show, along with the Memento-esque
angle of Jane Doe not remembering her past and the tattoos all
holding a different meaning, one of the most original programs that
NBC has produced in years.
