In Plain Sight

When I stumbled upon this show about a month ago, I was having a a pretty bad flair up with my fibromyalgia and after watching two episodes back to back, I knew that I was hooked. I was laughing so hard because I could relate to her frustrations with her job, boss, family, and life in general. Well, in a non-Marshall kind of way. :)




Mary Shannon is the tough US Marshall, who doesn't take diddly from anyone. Yet, she takes sweet care of her dysfunctional family, well with a side of sass. Her wit is sharp. Razor sharp. But beneath that tough exterior is this amazingly vulnerable woman.

Marshall Mann is her partner. Their relationship has its quirks. Her boss really doesn't know what to do with her. But she excels at what she does, so they give her a wide berth. Then there is her family. An alcoholic mother and her irresponsible sister that drive her crazy. There have been some conversations that took place on the show between Mary and her mother that came very close to conversations that I have had with my mother in times past. Dysfunctional at its best!

If you get a chance check it out. It's on the USA network.
