Blindspot Season 2
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Love the packaging the discs come in (very good quality slip cover, not some flimsy paper that most other bundles come with) but extremely disappointed that it does not come with a digital copy.
If that is important to you, then be aware that this does not come with it.
Funnily enough the first season does have a digital copy bundled together.

There are a lot of words and phrases that you can use to describe this second season of “Blindspot:” Adrenaline driven, non-stop action, high speed, strong female characters, fights (lots and lots of fights), and even seemingly out-of-place words like “romance” and “love.”
They all apply to this really interesting season that focuses on the backstory of the mysterious Jane Doe (who crawled out of a bag in NYC at the beginning of the first season wearing nothing but tattoos) and the secretive organization she once belonged to.
Those tattoos can lead the FBI team she now works with to the solutions of crimes and the apprehensions of criminals if they are clever enough to figure out the riddles they contain. It’s not always easy and the motives behind the people who inked Jane’s body aren’t always clear.
That’s part of the fun of this show, frankly. I mean, as viewers, we expect the FBI to figure these clues out eventually but it’s still fun to see them do it.
If I have one quibble with this show it’s that the bad guys – with rare exception – seem kind of hapless.
They regularly lose fights and even when armed with automatic weapons they can’t seem to hit the main characters from 20-30 feet away. Some people do sustain some wounds in this season – I won’t say who gets shot or stabbed or how seriously they are injured – but by and large the villains can’t shoot straight. My point is not that I want to see the good guys killed off or turned into cripples. No, it’s simply that I’d prefer it if the bad guys DIDN’T shoot as much since they can’t seem to hit anything anyway.
This season was made more interesting by the addition of a shadowy – Hindu – NSA agent played by the beautiful Archie Panjabi. I thought her characterization of Nas Kamal was on the money. Nas is driven, understands that she has to be better than the men around her if she is ever to advance, loyal, self-sacrificing, and brave; she is a marvelous character.
This series is remarkable in that it features so many strong female characters in a mainstream show. On top of that, they come from many ethnic groups and widely differing backgrounds. The writers have also done a good job, I think, in creating male characters that – whether they like it or not – have to work with these woman and treat them with respect.
There is a lot of drama in this season’s episodes that has nothing to do with guns, knives, and bombs: Relationships that collapse, personal betrayals, and romantic involvements are all featured. Some touchy subjects (child sexual abuse, drug use, alcoholism) are also addressed in this season and I thought they were handled well by the writers.
My take: This is a 4.8 season, just a shade short of 5 stars.
