Every episode is a criminal apprehended, a crime/case solved(a name on the list crossed), and combined with the brilliant performance of a great cast, adding the characters’ struggle and mind games and clues planted at times, it's pretty much what the Blacklist presented itself for now.
If you are coming for special effect and big, dramatic scene, it will disappoint you utterly. I don’t understand why couldn't they push the post-production a little bit harder but hell, it was just a few seconds in some episodes. (Budget gone to the mega cast?)
Much like other shows presented in a ‘case-of-the-week’ format, like ABC’s Castle, every week was a fresh start, you can just drop in and drop out without knowing much of the main plot(character story for the whole show) or side plot(character story for that episode).
But the thing is, when the list ran out of names to fill, would it be the end? Or would it try to pull another stunt like that in the first episode and bring surprise to us?
So far, the crime in every episode was the highlight of the show, nothing ordinary about it there, the details and revealing process were done exceptionally well. It’s more serious than Castle but still, entertaining at its own premises. More doing, less juggling.
It’s mysterious, it’s brilliant, it’s surprising.
It’s my kind of show.
You can catch the latest episode for free on Hulu and NBC.
