James Spader is riveting as a criminal-turned-informant, and his presence goes a long way toward making this twisty but occasionally implausible crime procedural compelling. Read critic reviews

Positive: Spader's character grows on one as the series progresses. His recounting of his adventures are entertaining. Negative: Everything else. From the beginning, "Lizzy" (Megan Boone) is a repulsive character. She constantly does the wrong thing, with arrogance. Boone is a mouth breather, and I found myself yelling at the television for her to shut her mouth, since her mouth is incessantly agape. I hope that each episode ends with her character being killed off. Then there is her dog. For countless, painful episodes, she lives out of a hotel. In the last scene, while still in the house with "Tom", he takes their dog for a walk. The dog is not seen again or accounted for until much later when the train wreck couple get back together, and you find yourself wondering, "Where was this dog all this time?" Then there are the fist fights where 125 lbs women beat up 250 lbs thugs. Give me a break! The continuity is horrid. The agents fly around the world for two hour meetings in Budapest, and are back in time for lunch in Washington D.C. the same afternoon. I continuously find myself shaking my head at the silliness of this sort of thing. Given the option of watching this show or eating a bucket of meal worms, choose the worms.

Really like this, why haven't I heard if it before? Absolutely brilliant series.

I have only watched 1st season so far, but will (probably) continue. However, something about the main character irks me. Spader does a good acting job, but I don't like the way the writers have scripted his character. I am fed up with his know-it-all smugness. I wish they toned that down a bit.

This series started out strong. Really good character storylines. Episodes leaving you wanting to know more and binge watch the next episode. But once the big reveal happens in the later seasons the show runs its course and it becomes clear the producers are simply making a show for the sake of making a show,

Je n'aime vraiment pas le personnage féminin, je la trouve totalement sotte et sa situation (vient de sortir de formation et est en couple avec soit disant un instituteur mal payé mais a une maison, un chien, envisage l'adoption, prend les choses entièrement en mains tout le temps) totalement peu crédible.

Raymond Reddington is on of the most wanted criminals by the FBI, which makes his decision to take himself in pretty senseless to the viewer first. But not for long... There was a time where I would have put "The Blacklist" in my Top 3, but sadly that fiddled out over the seasons. I have the feeling that the authors just came up with a secret to keep the series exciting without even knowing where they ultimately want to go with it. The secret gets pushed back even further with every season and we don't even get any hints that lead to the answer, over the seasons. The only reason to keep watching the series up to its now 10 seasons is basically James Spaders outstanding performance as Raymond Reddington. Still, I can't bring myself to rate it below 4 Stars, because of the many good hours I've had with the series.

Outstanding show. The hr goes by so fast. Keeps one engaged in episodes.
-
Good idea for a series. Fairly well written bur the stilted and overdramatic acting by the Elizabeth Keen characheter maks the show uwatchable.

S1-9: Czasem wciąga, czasem nuży, czasem denerwuje, czasem zaskoczy. Równia pochyła. Każdy sezon coraz gorszy, mniej satysfakcjonujący i gubią sens
