I've watched Blacklist from the beginning. I've liked some story arcs better then others. But there's always James Spader! And the rest of the cast has been outstanding. I missed Tom for awhile, but I got over it. Spader is terrific, as always. Also loved him in Boston Legal.

Outstanding! Idris Elba will break your heart. I've watched all four seasons twice, because nothing else is nearly as interesting to me. I'm eagerly awaiting Season 5. But I'm another who would like to see Elba as Bond, soon. I suspect that the hesitation is because he is black. What a waste, if that is the case.

I watched GPS for the first time in years. I seldom watch TV news, preferring to read digital publications on-line. But I tuned in this morning in the hope of getting an overview of events of the past week, highlighted by the killing of Suleimani. In the first few minutes, I was reminded that during the Iran-Iraq war, 1,000,000 Iranians were killed. Since then, to greatly oversimplify and contract the intervening years, the situation in the Middle East has become increasing complex and as of our unprovoked attack which killed Suleimani, much more dangerous. Fareed and his guests were able to unpack all of this in a way that I was able to understand. I plan to watch it a second time.

One of the very best television shows I've seen. I'm no critic, but I hated to see it end. David Miltch's dialogue echoed Shakespeare, especially as spoken by Ian Mc Shane (sp.?). The foul language was perfectly suited to the time and place. And the cast was filled with marvelous actors playing wonderfully drawn characters.
