Watched the show from the beginning. There is only one other show I look forward to watch that is intelligent, somewhat believable, immersive, not melow dramatic, and the characters don't suddenly change to the whim of the writers. If you enjoy most of what is available to watch, then you may find the Blacklist confusing or even obtuse. If you do enjoy a good convoluted story where you can never be certain where the story will lead, do watch the Blacklist, and pay attention, because every thing you can witness on the show, will be either later revealed, or is for the edification of the audience.
