What do you think? Do you watch The Blacklist? Are you glad it’s coming back?
I started at Season 2 and really loved it … until Episode 3 of the current season. Really? Blowing up a man in a box while people watch? Alan Alda’s death in a similar manner made sense in context, but that was just gratuitous. It seems the mystery element has been replaced by sheer gore, and they’ve lost me.
I love the Blacklist!! I have watched it from the beginning and can’t get enough!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE KEEP IT!!!!
My daughters told me to watch Blacklist. They said I would like it. Well, I watched it and binged until I caught up 5 seasons in about 3 weeks. I am obsessed and think this show is the best that I have seen in a very long time. Keep it coming, I will be ready!! Love, love love the show and the cast!!
I have watched from the very first show. Thank goodness for DVR’s!
I love Blacklist, and i will watch every Episode. Raymond is, what i should say, Raymond and simply I wan`t more
Our favorite series ever (runner up was Person of Interest). Seasons five and six were kind of all over the place, so personally convoluted! We hope new season is back with a rengenace and ready to run strong again, although we will always miss Mr. Kaplan!
Love the Blacklist!! Watched from first show, will definitely watch!!

This show is number 4 in my top ten favorite series airing currently. Thank heavens that NBC chose to renew it! I would have been VERY upset if it had been cancelled.
