It's been a rough couple of years for NBC. Majority of the network's shows were cancelled after raking in less than two stars in review. If not for 'The Blacklist', NBC would have been driven to its own lackluster demise. However, it seems the TV tycoon has yet to throw the towel after the recent (and very much surprising) buzz to its newest show, 'Blindspot'. Plenty of review sites have weighed in, including The New York Times. Now, it's time for us to give you our personal take on it.

Jane Doe Finds A Connection To Her Past on 'Blindspot'

The show has eight episodes in from its 13-hour season. One thing's for sure: It's a one-of-a-kind crime drama, unlike anything we've seen before. It sounds cliché, we know. However, if a show that opens with a naked woman found in a bag in Time Square doesn't tickle your fancy, then maybe a 'naked, hot, amnesiac woman found in a bag in Time Square with tattoos all over her body' will.

'Blindspot' EP Talks Possibly Romance Between Kurt & Jane

If you're getting tired of the reality show crap the tube has been conveniently been infested with, then here are some of the reasons why you should give 'Blindspot' a chance.

Those Intricate Tattoos
 

It's hard to get pass the fact that Jaimie Alexander's sculpted body is one of the big reasons why we're all over this show but more than that, it's those intricate tattoos on her body that's keeping us glued. Those are really, really good looking and meaningful tattoos. The atlas of cryptic atrocities forcibly inked on Jane Doe's body is what's set to keep the ball rolling. The longer we stare at these tattoos, the more mesmerized we are on what's coming next.

It's a Mental Exercise
 

We can all agree there are too many crappy shows that aren't moving fast enough. Worse, that aren't moving at all (cough cough, Scandal, cough cough). The good news is that 'Blindpspot' isn't one of those shows. In fact, we guarantee you will not get impatient with this show. Each episode is a mental exercise and a highly engaging one at that. As one mystery is solved, another one follows and it's surely a puzzle we want to solve and see through to the end.

The Ol' 'Case of the Week' Style
 

Fringe's first seasons were among the finest we have ever seen. Then, it was all downhill from there. One of the reasons why we loved that show's pilot season so much (along with 'The Good Wife') is how they dealt with a case each episode yet still intertwine each for everyone to see the bigger picture. 'Blindspot' effectively shows the audience that every case matters; like everything that happens is part of a bigger matrix that's yet to unfold.

Playing with the 'Identity' Theme
 

Shows or movies that are centered on identity keep us engaged. There's something about amnesiac characters that we empathize with; that we feel for and sometimes, romanticize. There's also this sense of wanting to discover who this Jane Doe truly is. We want to know her past just as much as the character does. To us, that's the kind of bait that's far too hard to resist.
