The Blacklist: Redemption

I think this gets a hard time because people expect the Blacklist but it's not. It's a side story for Tom from the Blacklist, one of that shows better characters.

This show is very decent. Good story, good acting, plenty of action and lots of twists.

The people responsible should have probably dropped Blacklist from the shows title. Don't kick it because it's not The Blacklist.

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.

The indefatigable Tom Keen from The Blacklist sets off on new adventures as part of a shadowy organization contracted by the US government that may or may not be the good guys. As with The Blacklist, it's hard to tell who's naughty and nice in this exciting TV show that, while derivative at times, benefits immeasurably from breathless pacing and meticulously plotted stories. At its core, this is a story of love and betrayal, with liberal doses of paranoia thrown in. I wouldn't want to live in Tom Keen's world, but I have to admit that it makes for an entertaining hour of television.

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
