The Blacklist (2013–2023)
4/10
Seasons 1-4 are great... it then becomes parody
25 May 2022
Raymond Reddington is one of the best characters ever written and perfectly portrayed by Spader where as Elizabeth Keen is equally as impressive in how utterly awful she is, I don't believe it has anything to do with Megan Boone and its simply down to poor writing.

The FBI is portrayed as so inept and useless it's become almost slapstick, not to mention how it seems the worlds most highly funded agency seemingly is working with almost no resources ever. Many of the characters are so clichéd it seems like a child could of created them for a school project.

But with all these faults if they'd have just not gone down the writing route of utterly ridiculous and comedically unrealistic it could almost be defined as science fiction.

The first 4 seasons were really enjoyable, it seems like The Blacklist was another show that has outstayed its welcome and milked for the ratings long after the ldeas had dried up.
