Blindspot

So bad I don't even know where to start. An absolutely ridiculous plot with a storyline so full of holes you could drive a tank through it. I mean - the whole bins thing? Seriously stupid stuff like that turned it into almost a comedy.

The acting is dire. Kemp, who is no Olivier but is a decent enough actor, must be wondering where his life went wrong if this was his best option for an acting comeback. The rest of the cast aren't good enough to get a job as extras let alone get speaking parts! The lead character is vile - obnoxious, rude, totally unlikeable which actually could have been an interesting challenge for someone who could act, but Beth whatever her name is (I suspect we won't be hearing much of it in future) is as bad as the rest of them.

The whole thing has the vibe of a midweek daytime soap. I can only assume the 9 and 10 stars are friends and relatives of the cast. I gave it 1 star as zero wasn't an option. Really so, so bad - what were ch5 thinking?!?

Literally stood next to the bins in an ally, 'Wait! The bins, check the bins!' three policemen stood in the ally next to two 2 bins, 'we haven't got the resources to be looking in a bin that is literally next to us', she can't as she is in a wheel chair, 'ok we will check one of them but if we don't find a body there mustn't be any need to check the other one', next day the woman's cleaner 'Bin men are here' 'oh no there a body in one of those bins....' it's just propostuous writing. She is actually quite good and Ross Kemp is really trying to not be the character in extras.....I just can't see past it!

Take a terrible script writer, several really bad actors, one known soap actor, throw in a low budget and you get an appalling amateur boring four part series called Blindspot. I can't believe the Channel 5 production team would finance this and then having seen the finished production actually put it on tv!

I thought that many other channels shows were poor but few have reached this low a level. Even the villain wasn't that menacing and couldn't act either I'm surprised RADA gave any of the cast membership maybe a reflection of how low the younger acting profession has sunk to in recent times!

Ok, it's pretty implausible but still I found it fun to watch! I like the main character: Hannah. I have watched 2 episodes so far; hope that her back story is told at some point. Why is her hair gone in episode 2? I like the fact that her work buddy is a fantasy nerd. But also seems like he could be her best friend.

Her voyeuristic life behind the CC is not a new idea; seen "Rear Window"? But it works for me as the spunky woman who can't stop. Or is she really a "stupid" girl which seems to be everyone's adjective for her.

Both parents dead? Was she in an accident? Why did Zoe's father speak to her in such a terrible way?

One thing: twice they called Hannah "Ruby" and once Amber's mother called her "Emma". What the heck????

This is so horrendously bad - I'm addicted to it. If this was Ross Kemp doing a documentary on bad acting, I'd give it a 10/10.

The acting is bad, the script is bad, the story could be good if it had been better produced.

For a thriller, there are few thrills and little in the way of tension or apprehension. It has literally stirred no emotion in me - apart from disbelief.

The CCTV was installed post-murder to make the estate safer. But no CCTV installed to cover the dark bin area which was the scene of the murder 🤷

If I could be bothered, I'd play cliché bingo - every sad cliché has been used. The over-acting would be considered good if this was an end of term school play, but as a prime time drama it lacks any quality.

Having said that - I will continue watching on the off chance it gets better.
