The Blacklist (2013–2023)
9/10
James Spader is amazingly entertaining as Raymond Reddington
5 June 2019
A great criminal thriller/action show that has had a few subpar episodes here and there but in general is very entertaining. The casting of James Spader was pure genius! I cannot imagine anyone else being able to pull of the role. The supporting cast are good as well. Many people complain about Elizabeth Keen's character but she is essential to the show. I guess she could have been played by a different actress but I quite like Megan Boone.

The FBI cases are interesting and range from homicides, terrorists, conspiracies and much more. Then there is Red's storyline's. He always has an alterior motive and you never quite know what his intentions are. He is a bad guy but one you root for.

The story arc just keeps you guessing. After six seasons there are still so many unanswered questions. Just when you think you know the truth, you really don't.

I'm glad that it is getting more seasons as season six was suppose to be the final season but I believe now there are two more seasons. I just hope they answer all my questions!

Definitely give it a chance if you are into crime, spy, action type shows. Definitely not your typical procedural crime drama.
