The Blacklist (TV Series) The Harem (No. 102) (2017) User Reviews

Unrealistic

[antcrynoveru · 6/10 · 25 March 2018]

My problem with this episode is that it's a bit unrealistic to think that a group of well connected criminals wouldn't recognize Elizabeth after she had been blasted on every news source as being tight with Reddington and as an assassin. One must suspend belief

Megan Boone looks tired in this episode

[franciswildemeersch · 7/10 · 3 September 2020]

The episode is fine, and Megan's rendition of her character is spot on as usual. She does appear a bit tired, though, bit that might be the result of early motherhood and sleep deprivation.

Filler episode, but a fun one

[foamythefearsome · 8/10 · 30 September 2022]

This episode was a long shot given the fact that Elizabeth has gotten so much attention across the news during the events of earlier episodes, up to the point where she was recognized from it by random people near where she lives; it is hard to believe she could function as an undercover agent in a covert operation with that in mind, but once you look past that fact, the episode becomes a fun Blacklist-meets-Oceans-11 concept which works fairly well.

The past episodes have all been slowing the pace of the season as it was racing by in the first couple of episodes, with a lot of seamless transitions into the next one up to the climax of the Red/Kirk arc. Now, its slowly building towards the next threat, and an episode like this is a welcome breath of air between two action packed, high pace story arcs this season.

All Female Gang

[Hitchcoc · 7/10 · 19 November 2022]

I really don't care if Elizabeth's eyes were red. She probably wasn't well, but filming is quite expensive and the show must go on. It had no affect on the plot. I do agree with my predecessors that Elizabeth is one of the most high profile faces in America. People recognize her as she walks down the street. And yet she walks into a group of women who are savvy enough to work on international politics. Suspend disbelief? The more interesting to me is the relationship between Red and his right hand man, who witnessed the "killing" of Kate. Also, there are big things going on with money being hidden internationally with World War III implications.

What's with Elizabeth's eyes?!

[Ebsmills · 4/10 · 22 April 2018]

I agree with other comments/reviews that this was unrealistic as the women would have recognized Elizabeth since she was so well known on news's a prior fugitive. But what was with Elizabeth's eyes? One scene makeup, next scene none and red eyes. Maybe sick? Pink eye?

Non sensical

[gilsonluciop · 1/10 · 8 February 2020]

How the greatest group of female thieves don't recognize Elizabeth Keen of the TV, the president gave her a pardon ffs.

Are The Writers Running Out Of Material???

[noonieblount · 5/10 · 31 August 2022]

Clearly this episode was written as a means to introduce a group on Reddington's Blacklist. However, the writers could written a better plot than to have Elizabeth Keen go undercover. It's laughable to think one of the most famous women in the world (ex-FBI agent, fugitive, spy, Presidential pardon, etc.) will be able to infuriate a group of thieves. And who really believes that Raymond really wanted that list for Kate's (Mr. Kaplan) sister. Could it be Elizabeth's mother is on that WITSEC list? OAN: why is IMDb requiring 600 characters when typing a review? Most of us make our point within a few sentences.

Love the series but this one was a dud - Why was Liz eyes so red?

[stanpriest · 4/10 · 20 December 2020]

The story had potential but it was not realized. and why does Liz have red eyes through this episode it was very distracting. Just not the normal expectations being met in this episode it seemed like it was very perfunctory. This left me scratching my head about the reasons, seems like the editing was off and possibly the direction? I forgive the series because this is one of the best series I have ever seen. I love the show, but this one. Pass.
