For decades, ex-government agent Raymond "Red" Reddington has been one of the globe's most wanted fugitives. But then he agreed to work with the FBI to catch his "blacklist" of mobsters, spies and international terrorists -- on the condition that he must work with profiler Elizabeth Keen. Red's true intentions -- choosing Liz, a woman with whom he seemingly has no connection -- are unclear. Does Liz have secrets of her own? Red promises to teach Liz to think like a criminal "to see the bigger picture," whether she wants to or not.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though The Blacklist flirts with narrative overload, it's held together by James Spader's scenery-eating performance and wildly entertaining action.

Bob Sassone New York Magazine/Vulture Mar 25, 2020
I don't know if it was the fact that we now have several new characters on the show to give it a renewed energy or the fact that they seem to be beefing up the stories for the supporting cast, but it's a welcome thing. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Nov 14, 2017
Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone), remains fairly bland. Go to Full Review Jodi Walker Entertainment Weekly Oct 31, 2017
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this premiere ... is that while Red was as engaging and creepy-charming as ever, the tone didn't waver when he was away from the action. Go to Full Review Jennifer Stasak Tell-Tale TV Mar 25, 2020
3.8/5
I loved Liz's darker path this season because I recognized she was becoming more and more like Raymond Reddington. Go to Full Review Gary Collinson Flickering Myth Mar 25, 2020
Between all of the intrigue and action it could easily get messy and confusing, but the writers are really pulling it off leaving us with so many story threads we want to follow, that we should have several great story arcs for this season. Go to Full Review Rueben TV Equals Dec 15, 2017
I was grossed out, to say the least, and I'm sure that is just what the writers of the show were aiming for, right? Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Garry A @heavyg Oct 6, 2026 More of the same from season 1. That's a good thing. See more Paul D. @PaulDa Feb 27, 2026 Season two picked up just for season one left off this is fast becoming one of my favorite shows of all time. See more Faiz D @RT95588871 May 14, 2025 The last few episodes were great. See more Don J @RT83956876 Mar 30, 2025 Lizzie still has poor situational awareness. She needs remedial training. She keeps saying I can take care of myself. Obviously she can't. See more Helen Y @RT18677436 Feb 23, 2025 James Spader is the sole reason why I continued this show. Just can't believe Elizabeth, after all these episode still remains so incredibly naive, despite her make up being much better than the previous season but still terrible.
