This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was the first time I seen this and it will definitely be my last time I refuse to even watch the new one season 8. Season 7 was definitely was the worst one and it the main reason why I will let family and friends and lawyer's know that they should never watch this show. When Liz pick her mother or red that was it for me. I am ashamed to even say I seen this show I strongly recommend that this show stop making anymore of this so called show it a uncalled for show that upset and outraged me Jamie's I can't believe you would even play on this show you deserve better then what they are doing to you.… Expand

A repetitive show with predictable plot writing, miserable acting, all dragged on episodes that are way too long, on seasons that are too long, and on a show that is too long. There has never before been such an overrated show. I got halfwayA repetitive show with predictable plot writing, miserable acting, all dragged on episodes that are way too long, on seasons that are too long, and on a show that is too long. There has never before been such an overrated show. I got halfway through season 4 and I just couldn't bare it anymore, and this is coming from someone who watched all of Lost and Fringe (if you didn't know, those are also both terrible shows). The person playing Agent Keen is perhaps the worst lead actor/actress to ever lead a series that aired for this long. Most of her supporting cast isn't much better either. If anyone ever recommends this show to you or tries to say it's good, know that their opinion on things is not one that is worth listening to. Think this is too harsh? It's on Netflix. Give it a watch through 4 seasons. The first 2 seasons aren't great, but at that point it is too early to really know exactly what sort of predictable cringe you are about to endure.… Expand

How did this show last as many seasons as it did? The two-word answer would definitely be James Spader. The writing, both plotting and dialogue, are sub-par even by network standards. The lead actress is so out of her depth (but cute!) andHow did this show last as many seasons as it did? The two-word answer would definitely be James Spader. The writing, both plotting and dialogue, are sub-par even by network standards. The lead actress is so out of her depth (but cute!) and she isn't helped by the supporting cast who are all held captive by the one-note characters crafted by the writers. There is potential in the Brilliant Villain of the Week concept, but a one hour show (minus commercials) short changes the execution of same, at least as realized by this series.… Expand

Les épisodes suivants ne font que confirmer dans leur répétition ces scénarios foutraques où on fait n’imorte quoi, où on mélange les terroristes, la CIA, les Chinois, les cartels, un pseudo-Hannibal Lecter ou Keyser Söze (?!) (de pacotille) et une oie blanche du FBI.

Il y a pourtant des moyens et James Spader (qui a perdu ses cheveux) fait ce qu’il peut mais rien n’y fait : non seulement on n’y croit jamais une seule seconde mais surtout on s’emmerde irrémédiablement dans ce tourbillon ininterrompu de conneries dont même un roman de gare en solde ne voudrait pas ! c’est du putain de n’importe quoi de A à Z !… Expand

Reddington has become a d*mb id*ot, not even seeing the obvious infront of his eyes.

Keen has just become the skyler of breaking bad. Bad script, unrealistic, unrational decisions, bad acting. Every scene has become annoying with her.

This series started glorious, then it made the decision to get rid of the good villains half way through, which resulted in this clusterf*ck that we now have, where characters make dumb decisions that don't fit their characters at all.

Reddington once knew every blade of grass that Keen stepped on, three years ago. Now? lmao giga ridicolous, his archenemy can life next door, Keen can meet with everybody on planet earth without him knowing, he has been downgraded in intelligence by the writers from an IQ of 150 to 49, barely beating a buttered bread.… Expand

Started as a great show in the first season or two, then became a soap opera with never ending questions which were never answered.   For a while, that was intriguing.

Then for literally years people were saying “answer the questions”, and they never did.   About 20% of the show was great, so that’s why I gave it the rating I did. The other percent will aggravate you enough to hate the show, so don’t even get started.  

However, there is one ridiculous theory that most people believe, but it is ridiculous, and there still don’t give you a definitive answer. I won’t spoil it other than to say you’ll hate it because it’s so absurd.  Pick another series to watch instead or you’ll hate yourself 200 hours of watching from now.

I can’t believe I wasted all that time. Summary: Worst ending ever.… Expand
