The Blacklist (2013)

I have always enjoyed James Spader as an actor and was eager to see this and now closing in on the end of the 7th season I am still a very big fan of this show.
With its novel (compared to most U.S. crime shows) approach to combating major crimes, some of which would be at home on that (ended) series ‘Fringe’, and the character growth of its actors, I think most people who are fans of crime, drama, action and anti-heroes will like this.

Well said. I, for one, have always been a sucker for a good anti-hero. And Red has always, in my alleged mind, been the best of the best. I have always felt that Red, and I doubt that this will turn out to be any kind of a spoiler, this is just my opinion, mind you, but have had this working theory that from the beginning he went into this when he was very young with the idea of doing what he is doing now, to take down major criminals once he got high enough up the food chain to have enough information to do it.

He had to do a lot of nasty things along the way to get there, certainly, but you can clearly see that he kept his humanity in the process. At least the parts that count, which is why people root for him. Even the task force likes him. That says something about the man, even though it’s a written character, he was written to be that.

Maybe that will come out to some extent in this last season, or maybe I’m totally wrong, and it will turn out to be something totally different, or maybe I’m partially right, who knows? Either way, it’s been a great ride.
