Neil Truick

I was sold in the first ten minutes back in 2013 when it debuted. I cut the cord back in 2010, but this is one of only three shows I absolutely have to watch each episode as soon as it comes out, and the other two have been off the air at least two years. (Thank you, NBC, for allowing us to stream this.) I love a show that keeps me guessing, and the fact this show has been doing exactly that for almost eight years is impressive. Raymond Reddington is the perfect anti-hero--just the right amount of ruthlessness, compassion, genius, and ethics to make you like him whether he's being good or bad--and no one could play him the way James Spader does.
