I'm wondering how many of these episodes were shot at once. So far, they've all got basically the same production and writing value, which isn't a bad thing, but usually once a show gets its feet under it, the values go up. Right now, there's still *way* too much of the convenience factor, with the last two episodes being glaring examples.
Being led to the dude whose case number is tied to like everyone was bad enough, but the one that really bugged me was the hacker-girl's "Hey did you notice this obscure not-quite-black pattern in the block on your arm?" thing that opened up the idea of layered tattoos. It's highlighting something fairly severe in the show, which is that the premise just isn't sustainable. I think this one would have worked better if it had been made into a movie. The longer it goes, the more glaring the "coincidental timeline" will stand out. They're solving cases in order, but the order has to be both random AND planned out in advance for the story to work, and it's really starting to grate my nerves. I'm kind of hoping for an episode where Jane totally loses it and goes to the doctor to have the tattoos removed without telling anyone. (Yes, tat removal is more complicated than that, but I don't think it would matter on this show.)
