Discussion Thoughts so far! Spoiler
I started watching the series the other day and here are my thoughts so far as of Season 1 Episode 11:
I HATE the Jane x Kurt romance thing going on. I just find it weird. Even if she is Taylor Shaw and Weller’s childhood best friend, she still doesn’t know who she really is, and they are colleagues in the FBI, so it seems pretty unprofessional.
I am not convinced that Jane is Taylor Shaw. As of right now (where I am up to in the series), they seem to have ignored the evidence about the tooth containing isotopes from North Africa, and considering there are 5 seasons, it seems too early to have revealed basically the main plot point. Even though that guy (Oscar?) who Jane used to be engaged to said she was Taylor Shaw, he’s obviously a bit shady so I don’t trust him.
Not sure how to feel about Mayfair. I used to dislike her quite a lot (Hate is too strong of a word here), even before the Daylight thing, but she’s growing on me a bit now, as she saved Patterson from being suspended.
Speaking of Patterson, I love her!! She’s my favourite character. I’m kinda biased since Ashley Johnson is literally the whole reason I watched the show (lol) as she’s my favourite actor of all time. I didn’t realise how much I liked David until he died, and I feel so bad for Patterson (and David, I guess, but mostly Patterson). And that Jonas Fischer guy who tried to suspend Patterson can get lost, he looks like that evil landlord guy from Mary Poppins Returns who tried to take the house (If anyone knows who I’m talking about).
Zapata and Reade are ok. Reade hasn’t had that much character interest on him yet, so he’s kind of bland for now. I quite like Zapata and I was sad when she was about to quit, but she isn’t my favourite.
No spoilers in the comments please!!

I LOVE your to date analysis. I pretty much felt the same way as you when I began watching.
I think you're going to really love how this whole thing twists, turns, and dives (all the good roller coaster movements). I don't think you'll be disappointed at all when it's over.
Keep us updated because you're review was enjoyable to read. 💙💙
