Hello James Spader. Now, that I'm fatherless, I want to adopt you as my father. LOL.1. The Blacklist is a show that I'd never missed an episode.
2. This is what a show should be like.
3. So, Raymond Reddington is not Raymond Reddington. That's what we learned at the close of its fifth season. So who the hell is Raymond Reddington?
4. Whatever happens, I will still love Raymond Reddington. Red is my man, and I think Elizabeth Keen is...I just don't like her anymore. I used to root for her.
5. Mr. Kaplan, I 'hate' you. I know 'hate' is a strong word but I 'hate' you because from the grave you still screw with my loved ones - Red, Red, Red and Red.
6. I wait for Season 6. Hope to be a writer on this show too.

What an interesting show!!!! .The show is about a most wanted criminal Raymond Raddington who surrenders to FBI and comes to terms to help them catch the most notorious criminals of the world for immunity. He also only wants to work with Elizabeth Keen with her he thinks that both would make a 'great team'.
James Spader nails the character of Raymond Raddington. Megan Boon also justifies her role as Elizabeth. Kiefer Sutherland was offered the role of Raddington but Spader took over the role just three days before the shooting of show and I am very glad that he accepted the role. After watching the pilot his portrayal of Raddington's character reminded me of Dr. Hannibal lactor's character from silence of the lambs.

If the goal was to create an absolutely disgusting character - self-centered, self-righteous, self-absorbed, brainless, insincere, hypocritical, deceptive, and robot-like, I have to applaud the effort. Because it's my first review ever, which I just couldn't not write because of "Lizzie". Can somebody tell the "actress", that there are more than two emotions? That crying and indignation do not even come close to covering everything a person, who is at least alive, and not necessarily and actor, is capable of feeling?
It is almost painful to see how she runs around blaming others for "bad" things, while she doesn't even feel guilty when an innocent person dies because of her plot. No remorse, no sadness, no regret, no nothing! Really? Only after everyone around tells her it's not something to be proud of, she makes an attempt to "make amends", at somebody else's expense of course. In fact, existing at someone else's expense without a hint of gratitude seems to be her natural state. One minute, full of indignation she tells Red "I will handle it myself" and next minute she is talking to her fake husband, whom she abhors, asking for help. Really?! Myself? The word is getting a totally new meaning now. Oh, and every time she does it, she finds a way to tell people how bad they really are, and how totally wonderful she is.
I could go on for a long time, because it hurts to even see how mature judges, KGB agents, and other men of power shrink in front of this inexperienced, unintelligent, immature, incompetent, needy, and shameless manipulator. If you can ignore this, as well as an inexplicable need of others to "protect" her, while getting nothing in return, not even warmth and gratitude, you can watch this series. Red is really the only person, who knows what acting is, and has some human qualities.
