The Blacklist

Former government agent Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) has eluded capture for decades. But he suddenly surrenders to the FBI with an offer to help catch a terrorist under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone), a young FBI profiler who's just barely out of Quantico.

Cast:

Normally not my kind of show, but besides the small flaws here and there I actually liked the first episode and plan to watch the second tonight. If it's as good as the first I'll be watching the show more often, plus James Spader is awesome!

Steff

Just watched the opener, and I think it has potential. The notion of a guy in a secure facility knowing every major crime plot because he's been off the grid and hanging with scum is obviously preposterous, but it's fun and twisty. Lots of unanswered questions and a premise that can yield cases of the week for as long as its audience wants it to.
