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’ 5×14 Review: ‘Mr. Raleigh Sinclair III’
The Blacklist returned last night with, “Mr. Raleigh Sinclair III” and they hit the ground running. Towards the end of the episode, Liz brought Detective Singleton into the Task Force’s headquarters to prove that her relationship with Reddington wasn’t something…
‘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’ 5×11 Review: ‘Abraham Stern’
Last night in “Abraham Stern” The Blacklist celebrated 100 episodes. The tone of the episode reflected the celebration and happiness of the occasion, as we were treated to a much more lighthearted episode than is the norm for the series.…
‘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’ 5×09 Review: ‘Ruin’
In last night’s all new The Blacklist, “Ruin,” Liz returned with a vengeance, single-handedly dispatching five members of a crime family who dared to attack her at her cabin in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness. In order to mourn…
‘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’ 5×06 Review: ‘The Travel Agency’
Last night’s new episode of The Blacklist, “The Travel Agency” held steady with the blacklister-centric theme, focusing on a defunct crime ring of for-hire murderers. The blacklister was a former member of this crime ring, but after a job gone…
‘The Blacklist’ 5×05 Review: ‘Ilyas Surkov’
Last night’s new episode, “Ilyas Surkov’ was another enjoyable installment, potentially setting up some big revelations for the rest of the season. The promotion for “the death of one of our own” in “Ilyas Surkov” was a misdirection, as most…
‘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’: 4×18 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’ 4×16 and 4×17 Review: ‘Dembe Zuma’ ‘Requiem’
The Blacklist finally returned last night, and oh man, they did not hold back. The first hour of The Blacklist event “Dembe Zuma” answered our two biggest burning questions from the 4×15 cliffhanger, and “Requiem” just took off from there.…
The Blacklist 4×15 Review: ‘The Apothecary’
I’m going to try and make this review as coherent as possible, because I’m still reeling from that winter finale. We knew “The Apothecary” was going to be extremely painful because Red has been poisoned and was slowly dying, but…
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…
