    The cast of Blacklist was amazing. The writers, less so. They spent so much time telling us how brilliant Elizabeth was, but barely ever showed us. What they showed us most often is that the only way they knew to create conflict was to have her do the absolute stupidist thing possible in nearly every situation.

    I’m guessing I’m in the minority here but I thought it was awesome, a little slow here and there but absolutely amazing storyline and a lot of great characters.

      I watched the first couple seasons of the blacklist as they aired in spite of the show being bland because I love James Spader

      Does Rocky Horror Picture Show or Clue not fall into that category as well? Things can be absolutely terrible but also fantastic at the same time. In the case of The Blacklist it’s just James Spader that drags everyone else into glory while Meghan Boone seems hell bent on putting in the most mediocre performance since Twilight.
