What in the actual fuck carry method is this?!??

I totally agree,,, it was a good show with a lot of twist ... NOT to mention the great cast of "known" actors that played small roles here and there...

Some of the crazy characters reminded me of real people I knew. Also the internal power struggles in government and back room dealing. Betrayals and lies. Drama of course but not as far from reality as many may believe.

Next to The Sopranos, Blacklist was my all time favorite series. I watched every episode. Pretty much the only cable/TV content I have watched for quite a long time. Spader played that role really well.

Yer gonna like it. Some strange twists and turns. I wont spoil it for you.

From when I was a kid I loved spy thrillers and imagined being like a Red Reddington, Jim Phelps from Mission Impossible or of course James Bond. Perhaps an international jewel thief like Alexander Mundy. A rogue who takes no sides and always wins. That makes for great drama but romantic characters like that are uncommon in the real world. Mostly those who choose that path end up dead or in prison.

I met my wife in a fancy restaurant in DC with a group of friends. She asked my buddy and his GF why I was walking with a cane and what I did for a living. Their reply was that I was an international man of mystery. She married me anyway. Eventually. :)

I missed the first 9 years,,had never heard of it... after 2 or 3 episodes, I was hooked.
I started "binge watching" 3, 4, 5 episodes in the morning when I got home from work... took me a few weeks to catch up, then had to wait a couple of months for Season 10 to start,,, Red is a cool character to follow,,,, like they said, lots of plot twist...
OH,,, and some cool songs to go with them,, Gordon Lightfoot especially... very fitting.

And don't forget the hat... The man with the hat,,,

Just finished the series finale (season 10, episode 22) of The Blacklist and you were 100% spot on because I thoroughly enjoyed the story line, masterfully played by James Spader, supported by a wonderful cast, dozens of cameo appearances by lots of great actors, excellent writing, beautifully produced, and a wonderful sound track. I was totally enthralled right down to the very last second with an ending that could hardly have been more fitting or more dramatic, with a very cool cover of Dylan's Knockin' on Heaven's Door playing in the background near the end! Bravo! (y)(y)

Thank you for not spoiling the end.....we're right in the middle of season 9. Aside from the political correctness BS sprinkled-in here and there, it is a FANTASTIC show. Spader may have played his best role ever. And yes, lots of recognizable actors (popular and character actors) from the TV and the Silver Screen along the way. I don't forget faces, and it drives my wife nuts. lol...... ie: "Hey..... hey honey he was IN...REMEMBER THAT?" lol or "do you recognize the actor?"
 
I'm nearing the end of season 1. I doubt I'll watch them all or even more than 2 seasons. I'm NOT faulting the show because it IS pretty good. It is just when the plot of a serial show starts becoming predictable, my ADHD kicks in and I lose interest. NCIS fit this category--I think I made it through 3 seasons.

BTW, ADHD is an "illness" made-up by big pharma so they can get parents to get their kids hooked on pills early and create life-long "customers" (addicts). :(
