What do you think? Do you watch The Blacklist? Are you glad it’s coming back?
Love this show. James Spader makes the plots so
Believable! The entire cast plays so well off his character!
Finally, someone came to their senses and renewed this despite putting in the “Killer” time slot. I hope they have the same wisdom to put in a better time slot.
Blacklist is a favourite show of mine, always has been. It is creative and intelligent which most shows are lacking.
