Having watched the pilot for Mary MacCormack‘s risibly noxious new USA series, In Plain Site, all the ads woven into the Closer’s return only underline the lack of decent material for actresses coming into their own. A couple seasons back MM had recurring roles on both ER and The West Wing. Now she’s a Federal marshall overseeing protection spivs with a dysfunctional sister who’s forced to… BEND THE RULES. And now HBO, high on its Wire fumes, lets Simon perform the ultimate act of genre glorification: Generation Kill. I gave up after one episode — it needed more of the Dickensian aspect.
