I have been watching this series for last 10 years, or more. It was my most favorite series. Perfect mix of suspense, emotion, drama and adventure. And no-one can do it like Raymond Reddington.
But I totally totally not agree with the way it was ended. Red has been shown as the most well planned, know-it-all criminal boss of the world. The way he disappears in thin air, as he has done a thousand times before, begs the question what the director thought of while ending the show.
For example, just to argue logic. Why would Red run away from US and go to Europe where US agencies can track him? With his world wide networks, he could have gone to many countries which do not have any cooperation treaty with the US or UN.
I think that the director just ran out of ideas how to end it. I can imagine its hard to conclude a series by showing BAD has prevailed. But the whole setting of the series highlighted how Red was 'good' at the core of his heart.
I completely repulse the way series ended, I think the director just didn't have guts to show what I am sure majority of fans would agree to, is for Red to prevail and have his way.
I love the series, I think its one of the best ever made.... but I would prefer to change the way it ends. Long live RED.
