In Plain Sight: Lose Yourself Into USA Network’s New Series

Posted June 5th, 2008 by faith

Television series are getting better and better each day. After the avalanche of new TV series that came following the success of CSI, USA Network’s new original series In Plain Sight launched its pilot episode on June 1. How is the new series different from the rest? Well, this time, it details the exploits of US Marshals with the Witness Protection Program.

I checked the website and tried to find out more about the new series and find out if it’s something to look forward to when the series catapults itself into cable here in our country. I have been a fan of CSI, Prisonbreak, and Dexter. I wonder if the Witness Protection Program has as much excitement as the CSI. I checked out the characters too and read their bios. I believe I would find Mary Shannon the most interesting character of all. Like her, I prefer to keep details of my job off limits to family. I don’t discuss it with them over dinner or during evening chats. However, Shannon’s character goes a bit further as she is required to keep her job totally undisclosed to family to keep them safe. This is necessary when your job is to keep the identity and location of your witnesses a secret and hot on their heels are criminals trying to shut them up.

Shannon works for WITSEC, the Federal Witness Protection Program of the US, and is assigned in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her family believes she is a normal Marshal serving court orders to normal citizens of the US. How does she do it? How do you keep your witnesses out of plain sight? It would definitely be an interesting job. However, I doubt my nerves can handle it. Every second, your witnesses’ identity are at risk as criminal elements would do anything to get their hands on them and keep them away from the court.

Check out the website and you will find interesting games and features that the new series has come up to get you tuned in.
