We have recently been downloading and watching the first series of The Blacklist which stars an absolutely brilliant James Spader along with a handful of mediocre wannabes.
Don't get me wrong I find the programme enjoyable - it is just annoying that one well conceived character carries storylines that under scrutiny are lazily written with gaping plot holes.
It suffers from the usual FBI types who stand around detailing what they have discovered to each other... plus the usual track down the villian and dispatch him in the last 2 minutes. Having said that the episode where Red bumps off his betrayers is terrific.
Well worth a watch for Spader.
Rating: 8/10
