In Plain Sight is an American television series that aired on the USA network from 2008 to 2012. The show revolves around the life of Mary Shannon (Mary McCormack), a United States Marshal who works for the Federal Witness Protection Program, also known as WITSEC.

The program's primary objective is to provide a new identity to people who have witnessed or been involved in criminal activity and are therefore in danger of being targeted by criminals seeking revenge. Mary's job is to ensure the safety of these people while they adjust to their new lives, which often involves a significant amount of surveillance and relocation.

Throughout the show, Mary is shown to be competent and confident in her work, but also prone to a brash and irreverent attitude that sometimes gets her into trouble. She is often supported by her partner Marshall Mann (Fred Weller), who is more analytical and cautious in his approach to the job.

Also working with Mary and Marshall in the WITSEC program are Brandi (Nichole Hiltz), Mary's irresponsible and trouble-making sister, and Peter (Joshua Malina), Mary's boss who often finds himself at odds with her unorthodox methods.

In addition to the regular cast, the show features a rotating cast of guest stars, many of whom play the witnesses that Mary and her team must protect. Some of these characters are sympathetic and endearing, while others are difficult to work with and put the entire operation at risk.

One thing that sets In Plain Sight apart from other crime dramas is its examination of the emotional toll that this line of work can take on its characters. Mary, in particular, is shown to struggle with her personal life as a result of her intense job, which puts a strain on her relationships with her family, friends, and love interests.

Despite its serious subject matter, the show also has a strong sense of humor and is not afraid to poke fun at itself or its characters. This balance of drama and comedy makes In Plain Sight an engaging and entertaining television series that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Overall, In Plain Sight is a must-watch for fans of crime dramas and strong female characters. Its unique approach to the witness protection program, coupled with its talented cast and sharp writing, make it a standout show that is sure to leave a lasting impression on its viewers.

In Plain Sight is a series that ran for 5 seasons (88 episodes) between June 1, 2008 and on USA
