This about where I am on it as well.

Been binging the 1st season of Blindspot all weekend. Not a great show, but a good procedural. Similar to the Blacklist, but really lacking an actor with the gravitas that James Spader brings. That said, I actually like the supporting cast a lot better than the 2 main characters. Can't think of too many other shows where that's the case.

Think I'll give Americans another episode or two. On episode 4 atm. Hasn't really gripped me like I thought it would. The concept is good, 2 Russian spy agents etc in America. But there's no proper plot so far. It's mainly just the 2 of them doing small time missions every episode. There's no major story that unravels episode by episode.

It gets to that. Don't stop. They are just introducing them and the position they are in.

It's a hard life being a perfectionist sometimes. hmm

Can just imagine MT perched on the couch on a year long bulk watching pay per view WWE events while yelling at Mrs. MT "ma.....MAAAA...meatloaf".

Can't wait to go to MTs 'perfectionist' flat with cans of special brew all over the floor and 2009 Barca games streamed all over in 4kHD

Just read through the synopsis of every season 1 episode, they all seem like different missions. hmm
