Why did they make Blacklist into such a goofy show?

I feel like I'm watching Touched by an Angel. This show could have been the y2k Swordfish. Reddington's whole development is too outlandish.

I liked Safehouse, so I figured they can pull this off. And Swordfish was good, so I thought no way can they screw up a show of terrorists hunting terrorists.

But the show is mostly melodrama but feels way more empty and not as hard hitting like Hannibal which is damn near flawless.

i seriously think the big networks will go bankrupt when the baby boomers starting dying or people get sick of procedural crime shows. CSI, NCIS, law and order etc are the bread and butter of the networks. all the other shyt they come up with now are :scusthov: hannibal is one of the few gems left

I love everything James Spader.....but I don't think I'll ever watch this show again. 2 episodes was enough.

I found the whole thing to be ridiculous but enjoyable for some odd reason. I don't know why but it's aiming for over the top it seems.

James Spader is in top form. Every time he talks down to someone I'm like :wow:

No one does derisive laughter like he does.

Breh, the ether Spader serves up in every episode is almost unfair. Dude gives no fukks at all.
