I love James Spader. Started out watching The Practice, and followed him to Boston Legal. Currently watching The Blacklist, which I think is his best yet. He is a wonderful actor, so thoroughly believable in every role. This show is action packed, and requires that you pay attention. He faces some serious challenges, both legal and ethical, as he is not only a criminal, he is also a flawed father figure who is doing the best he can to protect his daughter. It's hard for her not to love him, and the audience feels the same. Wonderful show!
