I have seen pretty much All the serries of this kind! I loved 24 out of all until I watched The blacklist! I first thought that they could use a better actor for the main character of such long movie BUT then, then, then. Oh MY God!!! James Spader is Absolutelyyyyyyyy just right for this role. The way he approaches different situations is just wonderful. his smile, his kindness, his anger, seriousness, they all just right. I never get fascinated by any serries but The Blacklist got me. they could use a more expressive character for Dombey, and also Tom. One thing that didn't make sense to me was the moment after Redington got out of the hospital and first met Tom while Tom was waiting for Elizabeth and they two behaved like they don't know each other while in later season it turns out that Tom had been appointed by Redington. I am sincerely sorry that this serry didn't continue.
I loved and enjoyed every dialogue of James Spader and I have to admit that it kind of effected my literature. I will watch it again in couple of years again for sure.
