The Blacklist - Renewed For Season 8 (Page 1 of 2)

Still hooked on this thing.

Although I reckon if it wasn't for James Spader I wouldnt bother with the show at all.

I generally can't really tell when actors are "doing the acting" well or not but the main woman in this, the actor who plays "Elizabeth Keene", would have to be the worst actor in the entire goddamn solar system. She is distractingly shit, even to a drongo like me.

The season final, S7, E19 was a complete surprise (sort of, and sort of not).  I like the creative way they dealt with completing the episode haha.

It was a nice idea to get the season finale done given the (coronavirus) circumstances, but I found it a bit distracting... especially how different Reddington looked. And some minor audio issues. Ah well, it's just a TV show.

And it was a nice reminder to how production works, that everything is not filmed in the order it's shown.

Yes.

Well... some of the show's characters are less than perfect and not always 100% plausible.

But I still enjoy the show (albeit recently a bit less than before).

I said this from the very beginning of this show. For some reason, the producers of this show feel the Elisabeth character is important. Most times I would say it is all about the writing, but besides the writing, what made this a good show was left on the table after the first season. For a while, this show was a bit like "Better Call Saul", (which I enjoy).

I get the feeling James Spader has given up trying. He's on auto-pilot now, has been for at least a couple of seasons. I watch it more out of habit than genuine interest these days. A shame, the early seasons were great (& Spader was electric).

I can't be done.  Though I hate with a passion what it's all about right now I have to see what happens next.  I want to hope something good will happen and things will turn around for the better but I won't hold my breath.

I just want to throw this wild prediction out there - Redington is Elizabeth's mother. That's the big mystery of the entire show and the only thing that makes sense at this point.

I thought the same thing a few seasons back. Could be worth a giggle.

If I recall correctly, didn't  they already confirm that

  Although I suppose that having script writers that seem to like to repeatedly

I guess that wouldn't  be a major issue.
