TV show description:
Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) is a former government agent but has been one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives for decades. Known as “The Concierge of Crime,” he has brokered shadowy deals for criminals across the globe.
Things take a strange turn when he mysteriously surrenders to the FBI with an unusual offer. He offers to help catch a long-thought-dead terrorist named Ranko Zamani — under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth “Liz” Keen (Megan Boone). Liz is a rookie FBI profiler with seemingly no connection to the master criminal.
Zamani is only the first of many on a list that Red has compiled over the years. He has a “blacklist” of politicians, mobsters, spies, and international terrorists. He will help authorities catch them all — with the caveat that Liz will continue to work as his partner. He’ll teach her to think like a criminal and to “see the bigger picture” — whether she wants to or not.
Naturally, these events concern Liz’s associates like FBI Assistant Director Harry Cooper (Harry Lennix), FBI agent Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff), and her husband Tom (Ryan Eggold), an easygoing guy who has a few secrets of his own.
Episode #218 — Raymond Reddington: Good Night
The future of the FBI’s Reddington Task Force is decided.
First aired: July 13, 2023.
What do you think? Do you like The Blacklist TV series? Do you think it should have ended? Would you have watched season 11?
I don’t watch television much, but upon discovering this show, it has become one of two of my all time favorites. Excellent writing and engaging plotlines keeps one coming back. I was anxiously waiting for season five to begin, only to discover (to my disappointment) that it may not be renewed.
In my opinion it is one of the best shows that I’ve seen in a long time and it would be a grave disappointment to many if it isn’t renewed.
Please keep this show! It is one of the best, if not the best, show on TV at this time. I have watched from the beginning.
This is a case where the original and outstanding plot line coupled with some of the best main character actors ever; has been too toyed with by the writers. Red out witting the bad guys supplemented by varying degrees of secondary stories and wonderful characters has morphed into soap-opera-like side shows. Still hope it gets renewed cause in spite of the unnecessary tinkering it remains one of the best.
continue tv series the b;lacklist
absolutely love the blacklist.. best series i’ve seen in a while.. SUre hope they gave season 5… spinoff just not the same
I started this show late. I fell in love with the show watching it on netflix. Now I am a constant watcher and will be again when it returns in April. Please don’t cancel the best show on tv.
Don’t cancel. I love James Spader. I wish Boston Legal was still on.
Please do not cancel The Blacklist!! Love this show!! James Spader is phenomenal! As well as the rest of the cast!!
Don’t cancel!! I’ve been watching since day 1 and there are so many unanswered questions! It’s still my favorite show.
I absolutely love this show. When there are weeks it is not on I go into withdrawal. I love the characters and their roles and would be sad if it cancelled. I also have never missed an episode. Seen every one since its inception on the small screen! DON’T CANCEL!
Really appreciate the writing for this show, as well as all the performers that has brought this series to life. Please do not cancel.
The show has run its course. Spader is a great actor but he needs a new home.
I LOVE THE BLACKLIST. I think that’s clear enough. It’s every character and every story line, absolutely captivating.
Please, do not cancel the Blacklist. I have watched Blacklist Redemption, although I do not really like it. I love Red and Liz, plus the other characters of the Blacklist. It is actually the only TV show I watch on a regular basis. It cannot be cancelled – there are too many questions to be answered. Liz’s father, etc etc. The Blacklist is the best television series since LOST.
I LOVE The Blacklist!! It’s one of only 5 shows I still watch on the never-been clever network…they’ve cancelled the rest, and given me to other networks with each cancellation. But I will watch Red until he has not a hair left on his head, and even beyond that! PLEASE do what you can to renew this gem, and quit putting Red in mortal danger!!!!
LOVE James Spader and ‘Red’s’ clever lines. Agreed, he IS the Blacklist, though other characters are good too. CAN’T STAND Megan Boone as an actress. Her half-blinking and continually stunned expression with her jaw dropped and open mouth drive me up the wall! She has no range and is frustrating to watch. Get rid of her and watch the ratings climb. Overall, I hope very much to see the show continue!!
