Think I'm gonna have to pull the plug on Blindspot. The story is already pretty shaky (I'm only about halfway through S2), but I can let that go if the episodes are good enough.
They're not. It's starting to feel like they've already started making it up as they go along.
And it's not overtly woke, but enough that when you stack it all up, it's incredibly cringe. Especially the girl-power shit.
There's someone of every race & nationality all the time - a white guy, a white girl, black dude, latina, persian woman for a while, persian dude is off & on, either black or mixed (can't tell) chick, black chick, a British South American...it always feels like they're making sure to check as many boxes as they can.
And the women are always the toughest & smartest ones. If there's a fight, the woman wins. If there's a fight between a bunch of people that's going 50/50, it's a woman joining the fray that tips the scales. A woman will fight two people and win. The women are usually the ones that solve the biggest mysteries & puzzles.
The episode I'm on has them doing this scavenger hunt type thing chasing this pair of hackers. All the participants end up in this warehouse and Jewel Staite reveals herself as one of the hackers. As she does, the monologue is along the lines of, "Oh, you were expecting a man? Me and my SISTER are the ones that started this ring..."
Like I said - it's not always overt or right in your face, but it's the quips and tone that put it firmly into eyeroll territory.
