The Blacklist (2013)
Waaay too long, often repetitive and mediocre
30 March 2024
As much as I love the FBI espionage/terrorist theme, I ultimately found The Blacklist somewhat disappointing. At ten 22-episode seasons it is often repetitive and mediocre (see the episode guide), often difficult to differentiate between seasons. The rigid structure of the US television format dilutes a potentially interesting show. Had this been produced and presented on premium cable it could have been very good. I have always liked James Spader and he does a terrific job. I don't have the aversion to Megan Boone as others although ultimately I found her tiresome. The support cast is excellent with some surprise cameos. 7.5.
