Is it worth starting?
This is 10 seasons deep — English drama, leaning crime, not one for younger kids. There's a lot of it, which is either the appeal or the problem depending on your week.
- Why
- It rates 7.6/10 on 3,723 ratings so far — a strong early showing.
- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
- A long run rather than a single sitting
Story
Raymond "Red" Reddington, one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives, surrenders in person at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. He claims that he and the FBI have the same interests: bringing down dangerous criminals and terrorists. In the last two decades, he's made a list of criminals and terrorists that matter the most but the FBI cannot find because it does not know they exist. Reddington calls this "The Blacklist". Reddington will co-operate, but insists that he will speak only to Elizabeth Keen, a rookie FBI profiler.
