Wujing storyline is over
Joseph_111 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The previous one was definitely my favorite episode this season, it was everything we love about Blacklist and Reddington. This episode was an interesting one, Red still continues to work with the task force, and this time it has The Postman, an engineer who has been wrongfully imprisoned, and was planning a revenge on the Attorney German who was behind his conviction, he spent 25 years in prison being innocent. It's a bit of a stretch, but I think that Reddington might use this guy for some future job, like he usually does with the blacklisters. Otherwise this was Cooper's first case, and he believed Lawrence was innocent back 30 years ago when he was sentenced.

I wonder what happens in the rest of the season, since this is the final season, Red is now safe as far as his FBI connection, but I still wonder if they will ever reveal who Reddington really is. If the the episode have great stories like the previous episode I don't really care. 8/10 solid episode.

Excellent episode

Warning: Spoilers
The previous storyline was seemingly put a bit on hold with investigations of Red's actions in the previous episodes following later, which seems to be a bit weird for a government organization. But damn good episode: even though it seems to follow the classic Blacklist-structure more, it clearly actually addresses the Harold-Red relation by Red showing that a man who is innocent can become a criminal later on. This is of course what happened to "Raymond Reddington" as far as we know. Clearly Red created this situation to make Harold understand him better. Really like the Herbie addition too, brings a bit weird humor into the series haha. The story surrounding Ressler and him helping another federal addict is also done quite well and smooth; previously this was in my opinion done a bit too much in your face... now it actually fits quite well in the story and his character development. Actually, also Agnes got quite some screen-time, also in the last few episode, which in this episode was seemingly done as a metaphor of how a bad man can still be good. Also thus to make Harold understand Red better.

So, this episode was more of a filler-episode, but totally not wasted by actually deepening the character development of Harold, Red and Ressler and introducing Herbie as proby of the Post Office Team.

Honestly hope that Agnes is gonna play a larger role in the story and that Red's health is gonna be addressed more. Also, why was he sick in the previous seasons and now seems to be completely fine.... ?! Just to allow for this season to happen? I actually hope that the series will end with Red rounding up the big enemy it all began with: The Cabal.

Good Stand Alone Episode
Hitchcoc20 February 2024
Wu is gone and the FBI needs to be able to show their workmanship in solving cases so the task force can continue. Red has expunged himself from all records so even though they are so effective, there is no record and nothing to hand a subcommittee. Red throws them a bone, a man who was convicted of a murder he didn't commit and sought revenge when he was out. He is an engineer and develops a weapon to deliver a deadly chemical agent. The fun part of this episode is that it is not based on previous activities by the group. Of course, Reddington is on call and is needed to close things out. Satisfying ending with a little positive payback.

A Case from Harold's Past
ZegMaarJus16 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This Episode begins with Lu, he shot a few of his fellow prisoners to death. Harold is angry because Red killed Wujing and Zhang Wei at the post office. Red has a new case for the task force, The Postman is the new name on The Blacklist. The real name of The Postman is Lawrence Nelson. Ressler and Siya interrogated Lu about the deadly gunfight in prison. Ressler and Siya interrogate Gina about Lawrence. Lawrence got arrested by the FBI. Nice Episode of The Blacklist Season 10, again a great one. But this time there was not much action. Hope for a better one next time. Red will have still some plans!
