The Blacklist: Redemption

So far I'm enjoying this. Tom makes a pretty good main character, and it focuses on his history and backstory with very little involvement of characters from the original series. I really liked the first couple seasons of the original Blacklist, but the recent story lines around Tom and Elizabeth's daughter became dull and uninspiring. All in all its got interesting story lines and good action sequences.

Characters are great - Tom, Scottie and Mattias work well together but it is awful without the focus on Reddington.

A real hotch-potch of an attempt at a spin off. Never liked split screen rubbish in anything but coped because I loved the characters.

Shame season 2 has been axed rather than fixing the drunk writers and having another go.

First off i love the Blacklist,but this is poor in every department. Actors sleepwalking their roles,plots seen a zillion times.

The action scenes run of the mill,no tension whatsoever. The reason the Blacklist is such a hit is because it is different, good script and charismatic acting.

I really wanted to like this but it is the pits.

So far I enjoy the characters they are building. I find that today stories need to unfold and people always jump on the hate wagon to early to allow the story to be told. This series has action, suspense and interesting characters, the uncovering of Tom's story is very good.

I feel the key is how they weave it into the Blacklist to give this world a sense of cohesion with the BL universe. It will be nice to see Liz and Red join the fray. I am enjoying it thus far 3 episodes in and look forward to seeing what is next. I find good stories are not in if the story has similarities to other stories but the nuances of how the story is told and the feelings we get toward the characters who are setting the pace.

I have always thought Tom was a bad ass and loved Famke she is top notch and nice on the eyes. Again the key is in how they cross over the two shows and I sure hope people give this show a chance to develop as i feel every spin off needs time to stretch its legs. Until later I think this is a great watch.

this is not a Blacklist and i hardly forced myself to sit and see it. I was positive surprised to see more mystery about Tom's parents. Good stuff. Similar like mystery of Elizabeth's father. Action scenes are mostly just like any other average crime action TV show. Hoping that season 2 will give us more then season 1 did. But i still miss Reddington
