Blacklist: Redemption is a sturdy show built on a smart premise. Read full review

The real question for The Blacklist: Redemption’s future success is whether or not Janssen and Eggold will be able to carry a title that has been, until now, entirely dependent on Spader’s magnetism. Based on the premiere, it seems unlikely--Tom is not even the second-most interesting character from “The Blacklist,” and Scottie’s mystique makes it hard to feel intimately connected to her character.

I am a big Blacklist fan and wasn't expecting to like Redemption as much as I did. I love this show and I adore this Team. This Team working for Scottie is so much fun!! The bantering between Tom and Sol is hilarious. This show is worth watching and I hope the network renews. The plusI am a big Blacklist fan and wasn't expecting to like Redemption as much as I did.

The plus about Blacklist Redemption is that there is no Reddington character that dominates the show. The strength of Redemption is the entire cast. I love Blacklist but I do not enjoy Liz's team as much as I enjoy the team Tom works with. Awesome !!!… Expand

"The Blacklist: Redemption" is not quite an originality, but it works just fine by giving a wider look into this world it created. Despite the lack of changes to bring some fresh content into the story, the formula is suitable to provide a good amount of action.

I started watching this show, with no prior knowledge of "The Blacklist". I think it is semi-good.

I think NBC needs to get another Medical TV Drama started, and all these other types of drama's need to be left alone for a little while. NBC, has almost no comedy's, maybe they should do some comedy. My score= 66%… Expand

The Blacklist stands on James Spader's performance and for that reason it's always entertaining. This spin-off however has no one of that caliber - just wooden actors. Best avoided.

No. No no no NO! This is NOT what NBC should produce out of a masterpiece that is Blacklist.

They just some fringe characters from Blacklist to put together the flattest single-layer cliche characters who are now members of a supposedly ragtag group of operatives, flowing with the usualNo. No no no NO! This is NOT what NBC should produce out of a masterpiece that is Blacklist.

They just some fringe characters from Blacklist to put together the flattest single-layer cliche characters who are now members of a supposedly ragtag group of operatives, flowing with the usual arrogant over-confident quips you would expect from C-class spy-genre wannabe directors who don't actually know what makes a "badass" operative character.

Plot is already obvious and badly setup, team members have the same depth and personality of your average aquarium goldfish, motivation of the show characters is weak at best. And relateability? non-existent.

You now have Good Blacklist, crappy Blacklist, and this crappy new Blacklist desperately needs... Redemption, from this joke of a premiere.… Expand

Strip The Blacklist of its charismatic lead and clever plotting and you are left with the empty husk of this spinoff. The simplistic linear plotting relies too heavily on posing obstacles for the leads then overcoming them with far too simple - and not believable - solutions. (Hey, need toStrip The Blacklist of its charismatic lead and clever plotting and you are left with the empty husk of this spinoff. The simplistic linear plotting relies too heavily on posing obstacles for the leads then overcoming them with far too simple - and not believable - solutions. (Hey, need to get through a tight security system? Just steal an access card.) The two leads are bland and uninteresting on their own, and Janssen's character simply makes no sense to me. Further, the interaction between her and Eggold ("Tom") is creepy, given their relationship. As the writers and producers become more desperate, as they inevitably will, perhaps they will breach the TV taboo of incest to generate some hype. I mean, anything goes, right??… Expand

Let me start by saying, this is not the blacklist. More like a rehash of action series seen formulated to drive the tension: without any character or much of a story. Its bland, stupid at best, and I will not bother with another episode.
