Two entertaining plotlines - the escorts killing rich people chased by the FBI team and Red rekindling an old relationship and recovering a necklace. The Reddington strand benefits from James Spader's wit and delivery interacting with the women around him to make a compelling (if a little predictable) story. The law-enforcement crew struggle to hold attention without Spader in their midst and this becomes a rote procedural albeit with an interesting (though unoriginal) twist. The show is always stronger when Reddington is interwoven to both plot arcs as the show was originally conceived - hopefully this divergence will not become the new normal.

OK, yep. The A story is silly. It has a base in reality, but the extent of the implementation of the "products" is way too advanced.

HOWEVER - the B story is wonderful! Clever, subtle, and a fun twist. And Spader gets to play.

So it isn't great due to the primary silliness, but the 2nd plot is great fun!

A little bit of Black Mirror gives a bit of life to the plot ... good enough

but on the other hand, Cooper's not interesting at all ... it is a side line almost as annoying as the quest for the truth in the past. We do not really care about who is blackmailing old Harold, we wish him well and maybe a good retirement by the seaside.

I'm at a loss for words at how far this once great show has fallen. In the last few seasons, I'd actually cringe at most scenes that didn't involve Red. Now it's all scenes. I don't even know what I am watching anymore.

Ok, so this show seemed to be picking back up after we FINALLY ditched Elizabeth Keene. But this feels like an "April Fools" joke. Honestly, I can't even get my Roomba iRobot to reliably vacuum a room without bumping into everything and chewing up chords to lamps. How are we to believe that robots this realistic exist? Ridiculous!

Tedious, ridiculous and quite possibly the worst episode ever. The only exciting part was when Fonzie uses water ski's to jump that shark. Hopefully this they can recover the show but the signs are there. Change in writers combined with a central character leaving in the middle of the story line. All it needs now is for Redd's precocious blonde haired nephew to join the cast bringing jolly times and hijinks. Ugh.

Three different plot lines in this episode and only one that held my interest. Red's search for a necklace with two excellent guest stars was fun.

Henry Lennix seems trapped in the plotline that will not end. He deserves better writing. The rest of the team chase robots in a storyline that is very similar to an episode from the Ghost In the Shell cartoon. The cartoon was much better.

It has been a solid season so far, so one bumpy episode won't kill things. Hope the stories will get back on track.

Worst episode by far, but no details to be provided. I'd like to say it would be spoil it, but it is already rotten. Watch it and see for yourself. Definitely qualifies for a jumping the shark award.

I have to use 600 characters to describe this mess. There are no robots this sophisticated. It took one lab several years to get one to climb three step. Another to dance a preprogrammed jig. Come on. These things are women with all the stuff to make them women and total coordination of their bodies. Add to that the nut case who is in the middle of killing guys who buy the damned things. A secondary plot is Reddington meeting an old adversary (female) at the funeral of a guy who wasn't such a good one, Barney. Back in the day, one of the world's largest rubies was snatched away from these two and they go to see the widow, who is wearing it. I hope things get back on track in the next offering.

Home Improvement actress Patricia Richardson is guest-starring in "Genuine Models Inc." as the character Matilda Davis. "Little is known about her character, but we know the Task Force is "is led to an unusual suspect when the wealthy clients of an apparent escort service start turning up dead." Is Davis the unusual suspect? It feels like there's a good chance of that. Anytime you've got a big name turning up on this show, you want to make sure that they've got some pretty meaty material backing them up.".

When I started to watch the black list, I found it to be smart, sophisticated and talent rich in both cast, production and writing but as the years and seasons have gone by I've been able to forgive the small indiscretions that have popped up now and then (like being able to see the wheel ramp of a car chase or major lack of continuity between cut screens ect) in favour of solid and engaging story lines and performance but thanks to this episode, it appears I can no longer count on those thing's either anymore.

C grade at best storytelling given the outlandish nature of the material will be ensuring that I don't order season 10 on DVD in future.

As far as I'm concerned, The Black List ended with Elizabeth Keen!

Thanks anyway 👍

The technology in the show was already hilarious, but these ****** are just sci-fi. A few episodes ago stomach acid ''partially corrupted'' a usb stick, before that they called a SD card an SD ''chip'', an email was sent by clicking on the title of the email. I could go on, but clearly someone on the writing team has no idea what a computer is, what popculture is, what the limits of technology are. Some things are hundreds maybe thousands of years off, most is just completely wrong. Early on in the show we had things like the undetectable tracker, something that makes a bit of sense unless you think too long about it. Now the show is going into full sci-fi. These are not spy gadgets, they're uncreative and lazy writing cheats.

It's not all bad, I have laughed at and enjoyed the little blunders the writers made through the years. I certainly never have written a TV show, so who am I to complain. Their work is at least very entertaining, but these ****** are not fun, not funny. It doesn't fit in the show, and it's ridiculous. This isn't Black Mirror, this show is supposed to be something my dad can watch.

Again, not a professional writer, I know it's a hard job and things go wrong. It's hard to take a step backwards to see the full picture when everything's moving so fast

The stars are hiding the word Robots btw. Trying to avoid big spoilers.
