Ok hear me out. The central conceit of the show is that organized crime is so professionalized that it can sustain a vast underground network of highly specialized contractors who provide services like “dissolve man” (no. 161) or ”destroy economy” (no. 109) or “deceive wife” (no. 7). James Spader is having the time of his life in his role as our central character: Raymond Reddington, an ex-US Naval Intelligence officer turned Concierge of Crime (yes), turned FBI confidential informant. Every week, Reddington turns over a name on his “Blacklist”—invariably someone the apparently feckless FBI has never even heard of—in exchange for some personal strategic advantage that remains mysterious to both the viewer and the Bureau until the end of the episode. Oh, and Reddington will only speak with Elizabeth Keen, a profiler who has only just graduated from Profiler School, and may or may not be Reddington’s daughter.
10 brilliant seasons that culminate in a shocking twist. I highly recommend to everyone with a brain and eyes who doesn’t want to use them.
started watching true detective and it’s awesome.
watched s1ep5 around 1am and the ending was so scary. lowk though it does have men who over-intellectualise everything disease like you can think stuff and also just be nice and fun! i think maybe rust should be prescribed with sobriety and some outside time, can marty take him on a walk next ep? i do think we should start to investigate men who say that a show where women and children are tortured is their ‘comfort show’ because what @ paul mescal x still have 2 eps left #excited #hashtag
