The Endgame

For those of you who think that this is a female "Blacklist" you're wrong. Elena Federova is captured and brought to a black site for questioning. In the meantime seven different banks are robbed by military precision motives unknown. Ms. Federova has begun her game of cat and mouse. It seems every scenario. Results into wrong doings by one of "the good guys" are brought to light thus taking out another criminal. What Ms. Federova endgame is who knows.

Her F. B. I. Counterpart. Val Turner seems to have Federova's respect. Turner herself wants to know what is what and despite some of her superiors misgivings she seems to be Federova's "Elizabeth Keene" to Raymond Redington. What would be interesting would be a Blacklist Endgame crossover..

I m enjoying this so far. Is it great, no, but not as bad as so many others. Many keep comparing this to The Blacklist, but I don't really see this. For some reason, I keep thinking about The Following when I watch this show. She is charismatic like the cult leader, clever and seems to have her followers. I'm looking forward to seeing where this show goes.

I'm not sure why the low reviews that seem to be based on similarity to The Blacklist. I see the comparison but I thought this was different and intriguing. Great cast, pro production, potentially exciting story... and all stories are derivative if you've seen a similar idea, so no points off for that. Morena is always excellent but the role of the queen really seems to fit her. I'm in.

I like this way more then I thought that I would. I am hopeful for a season 2. If there is a season 2, I would like for them to step it up a bit as far as the action scenes are concerned (I feel like they don't have that big of a budget). I would also want to see more of a drama aspect.

I was surprised to see this having been rated about 6. This is a solid crime thriller. Everybody has done a very good job in terms of acting and the screenplay keeps you hooked. I watched all 10 episodes in one go so i was probably at an advantage. Its smart, its suspenseful and all the main characters have been developed nicely. Binge worthy.
