Telly’s Take
Once NBC’s biggest drama series, The Blacklist is down in the ratings again this season. With four full seasons, The Blacklist will have enough episodes for a decent syndication package. However, it still performs reasonably well on a tough night. Word is that NBC will likely renew the show for a fifth season.
5/11 update: NBC has renewed The Blacklist for a fifth season. Details here.

You must renew this show. The only other show I am this invested in is Game of Thrones.
Renew this show. Fresh, fun, fierce. The only other show I am this invested in is Game of Thrones.
Great show but, I don’t see it getting renewed. There’s still a chance it could but, that chance is very low.
