Back to the tube tonight is USA’s In Plain Sight, which kicks off its second season. If you’re not familiar with the show, IPS is all about the Witness Protection Program and follows Mary Shannon (Mary McCormack), who is tasked with helping people find new identities.
The show is somewhat off the same template as fellow USA drama Burn Notice, serving up great procedural action and smart jocularity. And it’s worth mentioning that IPS was the number one new original cable series of 2008.
IPS owes all its ability to captivate to the strength of McCormack in the role. The stark contrast between her zest for her job and the dysfunction of her family makes for a good tug of war for viewers to watch. And fittingly, this double-life serves as the perfect metaphor of the lives of those she’s protecting.
The new season on In Plain Sight premieres tonight at 10/9c on USA Network.
I've been looking forward to this show, it better be good.
