For whatever reason I waited until the show hit season 7 to start watching it on Netflix; although people raved about the show, idk, it felt like I almost had to convince myself to start watching the “Blacklist”, as I thought I just would not like it..... BOY WAS I really, REALLY WRONG!! Not ONLY do I like it, I LOVE IT & I AM BEYOND SOOOOO ADDICTED TO IT! There are so many reasons why this show LITERALLY one of IF NOT THE VERY BEST shows I’ve EVER WATCHED... Seriously EVER!! First off- JAMES Spader- HATS OFF TO YOU SIR and STANDING OVATIONS ALL AROUND..... You Sir are truly BEYOND BRILLIANT! Your character, your acting, quite literally everything about you in the Blacklist not only keeps me on the edge of my seat, but also leave me begging for more at the end of every episode- I can not click “Next Episode” fast enough. James Spader is so effortlessly witty, charismatic, charming and devious all in one and his love for his “Lizzy” is truly beautiful in every way and that folks makes this show unstoppable. Then you add in every other PERFECT CHARACTER- Agent Elizabeth Keene, Black Ops. agent TOM KEENE😍, AGENT DONALD RESSLING 🥰, Director Harold Cooper, Agent Aram Mojtabai, Agent Samar Navabi, Super Sweet- yet TOUGH as NAILS Mr. Kaplan (aka Kate- yes Mr. Kaplan is a woman- such an awesome idea) and OMG literally one of the BEST, SWEETEST, & MOST BAD-A$$ characters- Reds right-hand, selfless protector Dembe Zuma♥️... Jon Bokenkam- you sir are a genius- you simply could NOT have written a better show, created better characters and selected better actors/actresses to star in this ABSOLUTELY AMAZING & ASTONISHING show, as they are what makes it quite simply irresistible! Every episode has a new twist, a new turn, a new heartbreak and a new heartwarming story stirred all together & filled with furry, redemption, love, suspense, & fun! All of this makes up for all the pain they suffer through and YET still remain a team & FAMILY & they are simply is UNSTOPPABLE! They simply are perfect together and the show is simply INCREDIBLY AMAZING filled with INCREDIBLY TALENTED actors/actresses. I regret not watching it sooner however, now I can binge watch it on Netflix and there’s NOTHING BETTER than that! If there has been one show I wish could go on forever it would undoubtedly, MOST DEFINITELY be the Blacklist! I won’t spoil any details for those who haven’t seen it but I MUST ADVISE those of you who haven’t watched it yet to hurry up and get hooked! It takes 1-3 episodes— first season- and you’re done! Ok I won’t ramble anymore because truthfully I really could go on and on but I shall leave you with this..... if you don’t start watching it ASAP you’re crazy and you’re losing out on quite literally the greatest show to EVER air on television! It’s gritty, it’s suspenseful, it’s beautiful, it’s powerful, and it’s simply INCREDIBLE! James Spader- you sir are mesmerizing! If I could give 1,000 stars ⭐️ I’d give that and more!
