The Blacklist Season 3
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Top shelf from beginning to end, whatever grabs you about intense character driven dramas the Blacklist has it, from the electric script writing and story, to the procedural and technologically accurate window it shows on the Fed’s, to the totally believable actors that present the show, once again nothing but top shelf and flawless. Having said all that I watch because of James Spader., as much as I liked him on Boston Legal he’s kicked it up to another level for this roll.so thanks to the network the writers the producers and everyone else that allows Mr. Spader to do what he does, which is continue the Hollywood tradition of just making the best most entertaining shows in the world.

I was hooked from the first episode. Spader is so good with this character and has the ability to show emotions without even saying a word. It’s a great show full of twists and surprises. Everyone I have talked into watching has become an instant fan. Highly recommended!

The rapid pace, complex story-telling, excellent direction and acting, and captivating mythic arc make this the best serialized tv drama I have ever watched. Each episode merits watching several times. Clues to the show’s mysteries are scattered throughout but it is much more than a detective or mystery show. Each episode features a “Blacklister” who evokes current issues dealing with politics, medicine, technology and international relations making the show highly relevant and thought-provoking. In the first season, James Spader’s nuanced acting held but show together but by this season the other actors have improved as their fascinating back stories have been developed. The guest stars are also excellent with Peter Stormare as Berlin, Alan Alada as Fitch, David Strathairn as The Director and Edi Gathegi as Mr Solomon deserving special mention.
The show has a large international following and a huge fan base active on social media. The show’s producers, writers and actors engage with fans on Twitter and provide other features that enhance viewers understanding of the story and the story-telling craft. These include comics (Nicole Phillips, Titan), an exposition on how an episode is shaped from concept through production (by Dave Metzger), and coming on March 29, 2016, a book (“Elizabeth Keen’s Dossier” by Paul Terry and Tara Bennett). The Blacklist features music from a Russian lullaby to hip hop. A second collection of featured songs will be released this summer and playlists for each character and the show as a whole are available on Spotify. Numerous blogs follow and elucidate the show. It has inspired more than 1500 works of fan fiction on archiveofourown.org and fanfiction.net – so far.
The showrunners made a decision this season to feature actress Megan Boone’s real life pregnancy rather than try to hide it or write the actress out for several months, a brave decision that hopefully will be adopted more regularly by the industry.
