The Blacklist is great. Fuckin awful but great.
I'm guessing I'm in the minority here but I thought it was awesome, a little slow here and there but absolutely amazing storyline and a lot of great characters.

I like the crazy theory that Red is actually his wife who got sex change and facial reconstruction surgery to keep his empire alive to protect her daughter.
Holy shit, was that not canon? I could have sworn at one point they said it plainly, after the stuff with his/her father. TIL lol
No canon but you could tell after a while that the writers were aware of the fan theory.
Great plot idea, but it felt repetitive after a while
Who's your father?
I'm your father!
Psych! I'm not your father!
No, seriously, I'm your father
Or am I???
I thought he was her mother.
Fuckin awful but great.
I watched the first couple seasons of the blacklist as they aired in spite of the show being bland because I love James Spader
I couldn’t stop talking like James Spader for like a month after watching some of that show.
James Spader is now my customer service voice. The little old ladies love it.
Does Rocky Horror Picture Show or Clue not fall into that category as well? Things can be absolutely terrible but also fantastic at the same time. In the case of The Blacklist it's just James Spader that drags everyone else into glory while Meghan Boone seems hell bent on putting in the most mediocre performance since Twilight.
Ahh, well, i didn't watch any of that show too 😅
So it's meh but also entertaining i presume?
How dare you, Clue is flawless!
Me and a buddy watched it together the other night. Both of us rewatching it for like the 50th time. Such A GOOD MOVIE. But not the best well made
Which ending?
It’s hard to pick a favorite, they all have their strong points
I don't get it...
The cop that arrested him was fat.
The cast of Blacklist was amazing. The writers, less so. They spent so much time telling us how brilliant Elizabeth was, but barely ever showed us. What they showed us most often is that the only way they knew to create conflict was to have her do the absolute stupidist thing possible in nearly every situation.
