Netflix adds Blindspot to its library, the 2010s crime show that’s still worth your time

Blindspot, i.e., a 10-year-old show, is officially now streaming on Netflix, and it's already making its way to the audiences once again. Nearly 10 years after the show first released, it's now making rounds on one of the biggest streaming platforms.

Now, if you're wondering whether it's worth the watch, the answer is a definitive yes.

The drama follows a 'Jane Doe' covered in tattoos, each tattoo being tied to a criminal case. With all 5 seasons now streaming on Netflix, the show is the kind of binge-worthy series that balances mysteries with a long-running storyline and plot.

And surprisingly, it still holds up, even today.

A puzzle-box crime drama that knows how to hook

The setup is gripping from the very first scene: a woman with no memory is found in the middle of Times Square, zipped into a duffle bag, and to top it off, the woman is covered in fresh ink. Her body is essentially a crime map, and decoding those clues becomes the FBI's newest challenge.

The woman, who is eventually nicknamed Jane Doe, doesn't remember who she is, but here's the catch: each tattoo points toward a crime that needs proper solving.

Blindspot's mystery is strong, but it's not the only thing that keeps fans locked in. As the episodes and seasons move forward, so do the secrets, drawing both Jane and FBI Agent Kurt Weller into conspiracies.

Their dynamic being part investigation and part emotional push and pull makes for solid character-driven storytelling.

Even if you're into 'case of the week' shows, then Blindspot adds something extra. There's a pattern, yes, but also layers that unfold slowly, with the identity puzzle sitting at the center of it all. And that makes watching the show feel like you're piecing something bigger together one clue at a time.

Why Blindspot still feels fresh on Netflix

Adding Blindspot to Netflix feels like a win for crime drama lovers who also truly enjoy long storytelling. While many recent shows stick to short seasons, this older one offers five full-length seasons, filled with twists, action, and a plot that slowly builds up toward actual closure.

One reason it's managed to stand the test of time is because of how it balances fast-paced episodes with a burning mystery. From the start, the drama doesn't reveal everything you need to know about Jane or her tattoos.

Instead, the show teases the answers, keeping the stakes high even when the formula stays familiar.

It helps that the performances land well too. Jaimie Alexander, who plays Jane with the correct blend of vulnerability and strength, while Sullivan Stapleton's Kurt Weller keeps the show grounded. Other characters like Patterson also help out with the team and make the group dynamic feel more authentic.

With that being said, the show ends with most of its big questions wrapped up, which isn't something every crime series can promise.

Blindspot joining Netflix is a perfect excuse to either revisit or start the show from scratch.

With its plot having major twists and turns and satisfying long-length structure, it vouches for both suspense and entertainment. Whether you're streaming it for the mystery or the binge, this 2010s gem still delivers.
