    Another good start for The Blacklist. The show continues to do well with the serialized story and the case of the week. James Spader is just amazing and he is the best part of the show.

    The show got more bad-ass, what with crazy revelations that I need not spoil for anyone interested! But, yes the Blacklist got more interesting, and Spader, as always, is at the head of the class.

    Season 2 has been an increasing disappointment for me. It has become laughable how the FBI characters can "divine" the plans and motives of the villains and even anticipate their actions on a moments notice.
    There always is a scene where they all meet to pronounce their in depth understanding of all of the circumstances surrounding a plot they have just been briefed on by our mystical
    Season 2 has been an increasing disappointment for me. It has become laughable how the FBI characters can "divine" the plans and motives of the villains and even anticipate their actions on a moments notice.
    There always is a scene where they all meet to pronounce their in depth understanding of all of the circumstances surrounding a plot they have just been briefed on by our mystical main character, Red, who is omniscient regarding all matters of global crime.
    The writers' expectation that the audience will buy into these fantastic, high speed revelations, tells me that they must be targeting non-thinking adolescents. That is OK, but don't tell me it is good writing. It is juvenile and silly.
    My question is: Does anyone in the audience care about these characters? I think not.

    Extremely weak characterization. Almost every episode the main character, Keene, does something that would get her fired. She is written as violent, naive, defensive, dense and immature. There is nothing to like in this season. Airing this show is an insult to viewers.

    Much suspension of disbelief is required as every week we bypass any meaningful investigation into the new 'big bad' to get to the shoot out in 40-45 minutes. The big questions, the Fulcrum/global conspiracy and the 'Lizzie/Red" relationship are interesting enough as a show premise but very few real developments or answers have been given the long suffering audience over two seasons.Much suspension of disbelief is required as every week we bypass any meaningful investigation into the new 'big bad' to get to the shoot out in 40-45 minutes.

Rather than resolve and building new mysteries, the writers seem content to let the old ones hang and draw them out until the cancellation notice comes in. James Spader works hard, but even he looks a bit bored as we close out season 2. Expand
