Season 6 of The Blacklist was a wild ride from start to finish. We had the fallout from Liz’s big betrayal of Red, a new government conspiracy leading all the way up to the President, Mozhan Marno’s exit from the…
‘The Blacklist’ 6×20 Review: Something Straight Out of ‘The X Files’
The Blacklist‘s “Guillermo Rizal” went all sci-fi, complete with a mad scientist and kidnapped groups of triplets who’s DNA had been modified to create a race of superior humans. Sounds like a new era episode of The X Files right?…
‘The Blacklist’ 6×08 and 6×09 Review: The truth comes out, well…sort of
A lot happened in this 2 hour The Blacklist event, so we’re going to have to unpack all of it one piece at a time. There were some big revelations that finally shed some light on all the secrets that…
‘The Blacklist’ 6×06 Review: Lies, lies, and more lies
We’ve seen Liz lie to the Task Force plenty of times, but she went way beyond what she’s ever done before this time. Instead of just asking for their help, Liz told the Task Force that Red had given them…
‘The Blacklist’ 5×15 Review: ‘Pattie Sue Edwards’
This week’s Blacklist, “Pattie Sue Edwards” was a solid episode. Not one of the season’s best, but still enjoyable. The most shocking moment came at the end of the episode when Detective Singleton was kidnapped and murdered by his boss, Ian…
‘The Blacklist’ 5×13 Review: ‘The Invisible Hand’
Last night’s new episode “The Invisible Hand” was a somewhat lackluster “criminal of the week” episode that still managed to drop a couple of bomb shells and had a lot of enjoyable moments. Perhaps the two biggest revelations of “The…
‘The Blacklist’ 5×12 Review: ‘Tommy Wattles’
On this week’s The Blacklist “Tommy Wattles” Liz finally confronted Red about what he knew about Tom’s death and the secret he had uncovered. Red did his trademark evasion of the question, but a short talk with Dembe convinced him…
‘The Blacklist’ 5×10 Review: ‘The Informant’
Ressler was front and center in almost every single scene of “The Informant” making it one of my favorite episodes of the season so far. Things finally came to a head with Henry Prescott, as Ressler had to decide whether…
‘The Blacklist’ 5×07 Review: ‘The Kilgannon Corporation’
Last night’s emotional tour de force “The Kilgannon Corporation” was the best episode The Blacklist has ever done, and no I’m not exaggerating. The characters were perfectly balanced, the writing was spectacular, the plot was intense and emotional, and the…
‘The Blacklist’ 5×04 Review: ‘The Endling’
Last night’s new episode of The Blacklist “The Endling” was probably the most disturbing installment of the fifth season yet. It opened with the completely unnecessary and cruel murder of a race horse and his trainer in a barn fire.…
‘The Blacklist’ 5×03 Review: ‘Miss Rebecca Thrall’
Have The Blacklist writers finally listened to fans and returned to the old style of the show that focuses on everyone in the task force and a new blacklister every week? It seems like they might have, as “Miss Rebecca…
‘The Blacklist’ 5×02 Review: ‘Greyson Blaise’
Wednesday’s new episode “Greyson Blaise” proved once again that The Blacklist is at its best when it focuses on blacklisters and the task force, not family drama. Pretty much everyone had equal screen time, and the entire task force even…
‘The Blacklist’ 5×01 Review: ‘Smokey Putnam’
The Blacklist finally made its return last night, with the season 5 premiere, “Smokey Putnam.” The episode opened with Red stealing cars and generally having the time of his life. Now that his criminal empire has been destroyed, a huge…
‘The Blacklist 4×21 & 22 Review: ‘Mr. Kaplan’ & ‘Mr. Kaplan: Conclusion’
As The Blacklist does best, last night’s two part finale, “Mr. Kaplan” and “Mr. Kaplan: Conclusion” gave us answers without completely giving us answers. In “Conclusion” it seemed like they had finally answered if Red is Liz’s father or not,…
‘The Blacklist’ 4×20 Review: ‘The Debt Collector’
Last night’s episode “The Debt Collector” was the last before the 2 hour season finale next week. Ressler was out of jail on O.R. (own recognizance) which was a term that I wasn’t familiar with, so I looked it up…
‘The Blacklist’: 4×19 Review: ‘Dr. Bogdan Krilov’
So, those of you who regularly read my reviews will know that I love Ressler more than almost anything in this world, and I have so many feelings about what happened to him in “Dr. Bogdan Krilov” last night. I…
‘The Blacklist’: 4×18 Review: ‘Philomena’
So I was expecting a lot from “Philomena” and I guess for me, it kind of fell flat. I was expecting things to really start escalating with the fight between Kate and Red, but it was pretty much just another…
The Blacklist 4×14 Review: ‘The Architect’
So I’m just going to come out and say it, last night’s The Blacklist, titled “The Architect”, was awesome. The episode returned to the style of season one and two, and hardly focused on any relationship drama whatsoever. Every character…
The Blacklist 4×13 Review: ‘Isabella Stone’
“Isabella Stone” promised to be an action packed episode. and it did not disappoint. I was worried that Isabella Stone would just be a throw away villain easily defeated by Red, but she actually lived up to the hype. If…
The Blacklist 4×11 Review: ‘The Harem’
Last night’s episode, “The Harem” was underwhelming to say the least. The group of female thieves were completely irrelevant, and it wasn’t even really a compelling case episode. There were a couple good exchanges of dialogue between characters, but almost…
The Blacklist 4×10 Review: ‘The Forecaster’
“The Forecaster” definitely lived up to expectations, delivering a successful return to the “case of the week” format. It was incredibly refreshing to see the team back together solving a case, with little to no over-arching drama involved. The case…
