The Blacklist: Katarina Rostova (No. 3): Conclusion (2020)
I'll be dead before I find out the truth
This had gotten dreadful. Liz, has gone totally rouge. What mom would sacrifice her only child, who already lost her father? Does Agnes not come 1st? So it will be a (dark) cat & mouse season. Red & Dembe keep me watching. I think Katarina is alive. I hope Red does not die, although it points that way. Perhaps they will die at the same point or time, a dying Red confessing all to a dying Liz.
The Blacklist story line could have continued w/o Liz, who needed to go long ago. Witty, imaginative writers would have that ability.
And she hornswaggles military bomb making materials to kill Red & nothing happens?
It is now insufferable but I love Spader & will watch to the BITTER end
The Little Drummer Girl (2018)
Better be engaged
One needs to pay very careful attention from line one of this show to prevent getting lost. Once you get it, watching it play out is easier. You can't allow for distraction.
Although some claim it's laboriously slow, it adds to the suspense. Characters are droll and lack animation, but it works. This series makes you use your imagination & tenacity. I enjoy the character interplay & putting the puzzle pieces together only to find they are in the wrong place. NO Hollywood bang-bang, shooting up buildings & wrecking dozens of cars. I love (so far) the lack of romantic interplay, that's a bonus. I wouldn't Charlie to be a hottie. She's a naive small time actress going nowhere fast, throwing in rebellion for attention. She's fascinated & intrigued by (the older) Gadi, a very believable situation in the 70s. I love her performance.
This series is truly worth the try. Some things don't ring true, such as describing distance in miles rather than kilometers. Also a runner in the background in (I believe) Munich who is wearing modern day running clothes.
