This intriguing new crime drama had lots of marketing including many trailers and I really wanted to see it.

A beautiful lady is found dumped in a holdall in Times Square.

Christened Jane Doe(Jaimie Alexander)the woman has no memory of anything and is covered head to toe in mysterious tattoo's.

One of them says the name of FBI agent Kurt Weller(Australian actor Sullivan Stapleton)who vows to help Jane discover who she is.

Her tattoo's seem to point to crimes about to happen and the first is chasing down a Chinese terrorist plotting to detonate a bomb inside the Statue Of Liberty.

Whilst chasing him down Weller and his team discover Jane has hidden talents including excellent language skills and is an expert martial artist which frightens her.

With some flashbacks to show who Jane might actually be Weller works with Jane to try and work what the tattoo's mean and stop criminals.

This is a different spin on the usual crime series we see on TV regularly and the cast act very well headlined by Alexander who after being mainly a supporting actress in most her work gets to lead a show and show us what a talent she is and she plays amnesiac Jane very well and you always feel sorry for her as she tries to piece together things she might remember even though she might be hiding things from Weller.Its amazing too how a woman covered in tattoo's looks so stunning but Jaimie looks gorgeous all the time.

Stapleton is the best on show and is a big star in the making and has already proved this thanks to war series Strike Back and films 300:Rise Of An Empire and Gangster Squad and has chemistry with Alexander that even in the first episode crackles and you know they like each other and his Weller is very likable who though straight to the point is kind to Jane and wants to help her,the next big action star.

Others actors including Ashley Johnson though good are either not that likable or don't get to do much but maybe they will in future episodes.

This packs a lot of action into one hour including the scene where Jane emerges from the bag,Weller and his team storming a suspects house,Jane displaying her awesome martial arts skills(this girl kicks butt)and Weller chasing the Chinese guy on to a train with a bomb planted until we get to a slightly underwhelming finale at the Statue Of Liberty but still very good sequences in just one hour.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the first season and this has two excellent lead stars,great action and it was never dull with a strange man tracking Jane(who we see a few times including in flashbacks)even though other actors were wasted(hopefully just for now)and it can be a tad silly but a strong opener to a interesting new US series.

Trying to give this a chance..... But a couple glaring issues already...... If they really are that interested in her tattoos, why didn't they already have someone translate the Chinese tattoo on her? Why did it take her to translate it???? Pretty sure we have a ton of people in the fbi that could have done that! Second glaring issue is the one fbi agent said, if there was a female SeAL, they would keep it from public knowledge.... Which is an outright lie. The press and media would be having that story and milking it for years to come... It would be HUGE news. From what I can tell first couple seasons are decent but go downhill from there.

It's just like the great disappointment of the writing in Voyager. Producers are thinking they've got a mainstream good-looking piece of eye candy for the audience and they need to keep dangling her in one episode after another...at the expense of the other characters, and at the expense of the story.

Doesn't matter that just like 7/9, the character in question is a loose cannon and unwilling to follow rules and quite willing to do her own thing at all times. That does not portray a strong woman, that's an erratic woman/person.

Like one of the agents rightly asked, "since when does a case victim become part of the investigation team?". It's so wildly inappropriate the things they let the character get away with, it's like a teenager is writing this because they just don't know better.

Not to mention anywhere that she tags along *by her own insistence* and against my better judgement of other characters, EVERYWHERE she goes, the key people they're looking for end up dead.

The first couple of episodes were quite gripping, but then they just keep going with that same irritating theme. Overall the story has great potential, but they gotta cut that character loose (ok, ok, I know it was a few years ago now so it's a moot point, but still...).

I finished episode three last night, really losing interest. I decided to try episode four and I'm only 12 minutes in and I just know how it's gonna play out so I'm having a hard time sticking with it.

I was intrigued with the show. The premise is that a girl is found in a duffle bag in Times Square. She is covered in tattoos and she seems to have no memory of who she is, how she got to be in a duffle bag in Times Square, or why she is covered in tattoos.

One of her tattoos is the name of an FBI agent. He doesn't know who she is and she, having amnesia, has no idea who he is. They bring her in to interrogate her and determine that she does indeed have amnesia. They next try to figure out why she is covered in tattoos and what all the tattoos mean.

This seemed like it might be an interesting show. I thought that it might be interesting to see how they discover who she is and what all the tattoos mean. However, it was just dull. There was no point during the show where I was holding my breath or anxiously awaiting the next scene. It all just kind of plodded along.

I didn't find the acting to be that special. I didn't become invested in the characters. Nothing really caught my attention or made me care about any of the people. I also did not really feel that they were believable.

Everyone has their own tastes and opinions. Mine is that I won't be watching any further episodes as I don't think they are going to improve any. If they were unable to get me hooked on the characters and the story in the pilot, I doubt they will with any of the other episodes. I will give this series a Pass and move onto other, more interesting shows.

I just watched the first episode, great idea but with some cliches.

Black, white, asian and another black guys at the team. Obvious want to put all the races at a perfect team. Not convincing. The physician chick is so obviously nerd, every team has one. Her clothes, her pinky lipstick - so made up. The main agent too - unshaved, casual clothes, and amazing eyes.

The Jane Dow is too good to be true. White skin, black hair that is blind to see it's fake, a wig, of course amazing skills to fight and speak different languages. Why for a change don't you make a character that is down on earth?

Too fast goes to action, skipped scenes, introduction is important. It looks cheap like this. And again trying to put the big great America on a pedestal, now chinese are the bad guys. It was african, it was indian, it was turkish, it was russians - the entire freaking world is plotting against big great americans and they are always there to protect the peace. All the time someone else is to blame and americans are the heroes. Spare me the fabrications.
