Blacklist Season 1
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I started watching this show when it first aired but did not watch all of them and in the middle of the 2nd season had cut the proverbial cable cord and again missed more episodes. So, I ordered all the seasons and decided to watch them from the beginning. It turns out I remembered some of it and missed several episodes. Since each episode builds upon the others it was much easier to watch it this way. I can’t wait for the next season.
In the first episode we find that the #4 on the FBI’s top 10 turns himself in and according to the FBI has a list that he calls The Blacklist that contains names of people the FBI doesn’t even know to look for. The catch is that he only wants to talk to FBI Agent Elizabeth Keen. Keen and the FBI are wondering what her connection is to Ray “Red” Reddington. She agrees to help and in return he shares part of her past but as the season progresses she wants to know more than Red is willing to offer and at times is at odds with Ray and wants to quit the Task Force. Ray on the other hand has his reasons for wanting to help the FBI that we sort of find out about by the end of the season only to find out that we still don’t have all the pieces.
This is a good show. Just when you think you have something figured out, you don’t. The show has been renewed for a 6th season and I have 4 more seasons worth to watch. The writing & acting are great and I’ll just have to keep watching to find out who’s good and who’s really bad, etc …
About the only bad thing was the case for me, which had the bottom socket cracked that held the disks in place. This happens far to often in these multi CD cases.

Getting to know the characters again was amazing! Nobody but James Spader could ever play the part of Raymond Redington! He is amazing with how he can calmly look at someone while he shoots the man next to him and makes a comical comment to make a point! All while looking as relaxed as can be!!! And his surrounding cast…His Lizzy especially…so awesome! Her character grows right in front of you throughout the season. And all the FBI characters that play a role are also excellent! What a cast! What a show! And this is just the 1st Season!!!

Amazing comeback by the legendary James Spader. An instant cult classic, underrated, makes me speechless, every episode is a crazy ride, and really does leave you wanting more no joke. Great supporting cast, and not a little adult tv show. Blood, murder, deception, betrayal, some cursing, and very film noir like feeling when hearing James speak. Fine quality dialogue and acting from everyone. A+ for me no doubt, love and adore this show.
