what happens
The team unlocks a cryptic tattoo that points to Major Arthur Gibson, an Air Force pilot with a painful past and a lethal agenda. Jane continues to search for clues to her identity and is haunted when flashes of a disturbing memory force her to question her past. Meanwhile, Weller thinks he might know Jane's true identity.

Not enough to put a number on. The shape below is drawn from what there is, with the widest uncertainty band we use — it is the start of an answer, not one.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

what people actually wrote
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
“the pilot got me somewhat interested”

“The second episode doubled down on everything I hated in the pilot: the lazy, gimmicky writing, the stock characters reiterating lines you have heard a million times elsewhere and were worn out on first use, everything is explained explicitly in dialogue multiple times, the required unimaginative action sequences in exactly the moments you would expect them at the appropriate intervals. The camera work and editing is flashy and without real purpose. It's paint by numbers TV show fare.”
