Blindspot (2015)
Piecing together her past. One tattoo at a time.
A vast international plot explodes when a beautiful Jane Doe is discovered naked in Times Square, completely covered in mysterious, intricate tattoos with no memory of who she is or how she got there. But there's one tattoo that is impossible to miss: the name of FBI agent Kurt Weller, emblazoned across her back. "Jane," Agent Weller and the rest of the FBI quickly realize that each mark on her body is a crime to solve, leading them closer to the truth about her identity and the mysteries to be revealed.

Where to watch Blindspot

What kind of watch this is
Martin Gero built Blindspot on a premise that sounds like a fever dream: a naked woman in Times Square, inked head to toe with unsolved crimes. The catch is the name of FBI agent Kurt Weller, tattooed across her back. That single detail binds their lives together in a way that feels less like romance and more like a hostage situation. It is a procedural where the mystery is the map, and the map is a person. With 5 seasons and 100 episodes, the whole thing clocks in at 70 hours. You do not watch it for the answers. You watch it because the questions are literally on her skin.
What the critics said
Critics found the mystery compelling enough to ignore the gaps. Rotten Tomatoes places the first season at 68%, based on 113 reviews. The consensus notes an intriguing plot and strong action that propel viewers into a necessary suspension of disbelief. Metacritic scores it 65 out of 100, a figure that signals generally favorable reviews. The math suggests the story works if you are willing to look away.
How it did with audiences
Blindspot skipped the box office report entirely. There are no ticket sales to dissect, only the numbers people assign when they finish watching. On TMDB, users rate it 7.4 out of 10. It is a quiet presence in the catalog, defined by viewer consensus rather than studio spreadsheets. The audience verdict stands on its own.
What came next for the cast
Jaimie Alexander’s path is a loop. She appeared in Thor in 2011 and Thor: The Dark World in 2013, then returned to that franchise in 2022. The credits do not say Blindspot caused the return. They simply note the gap. Sullivan Stapleton moved from 300: Rise of an Empire in 2014 and Gangster Squad in 2013 to Renegades in 2017. Two distinct arcs, one shared year. Careers rarely move in straight lines.
