A week-in, weak-out study in same-y procedural storytelling and mythology stalling that's powered by the usual salacious crime exploitation and the unusual lead performance of James Spader. [Blu-ray]September 23, 2014
If this fast paced action and story keep it up, then I'm all in for what should be another great season of The Blacklist.September 23, 2014
And so the second season of The Blacklist begins. Did anyone else miss the phenomenon that is James Spader as Raymond "Red" Reddington?January 09, 2017
Spader continues to nonchalantly demolish the scenery surrounding him with is pursed lips and blasé delivery. Truly, he is a gifted SOB even if looking at him wearing that trademark hat makes me despair.January 09, 2017
This was a pretty good start to the season.September 23, 2014
It's important that the show doesn't forget that its first season thrived with sturdy, efficient standalone episodes that didn't try to jam so much stuff into the proceedings.September 23, 2014
It does seem like the writers are trying to fix the problems that really made the show so uneventful and unfulfilling. It's not a gigantic shift for The Blacklist, but hey, it feels like a move in the right direction.September 24, 2014
Throughout the episode, in a very unsettling way, dots are connected: tracking markers in ties, drugs people take, World War II documentaries we're watching on Netflix, subscriptions to the Wall Street Journal and Cat Fanatic.December 13, 2016
With such a flamboyant lead in Red and more and more outlandish bad guys, it's felt for a while like The Blacklist wants to be a looser, wilder show than its fairly straight-faced procedural beginnings suggested.September 23, 2014
The Blacklist moves away from questions of Raymond 'Red' Reddington's true motives, and towards getting things at the FBI black site back in order, so that more names can be checked off the titular blacklist.
