22. Watching Blindspot for our Ashley Johnson Marathon

This week, we're watching Blindspot, a cop procedural that has no real grasp of science, tattooing, or how to make cops look like the good guys. We discuss the uncomfortable violence and legal violations that seem to define the genre while also noting the things about this show that make it seem like someone, somewhere, must be fucking with us. (Patterson's dad is canonically Bill Nye. He is not played by Bill Nye. He is, in fact, Bill Nye.) Our inability to like Kurt, understand the plot, or stop calling one of the characters by the name of a Survivor player is probably quite confusing, but we like to think it's endearing and entertaining. Will Kurt ever stop being a tired cop stereotype? Is the throuple the finale promised really canon? How does a drug that wipes your memory slowly work its way up your brain stem in an attempt to make you forget how to breathe? The answers to all this and more as we play "is this terribly done cop propaganda, or does this show actually understand its own conspiracy plot line," a one-of-a-kind game show that is very easy to win.
