FIRST SEASON until SIXTH SEASON : 8,7/10.
SEVENTH SEASON : 6,8/10
EIGHTH SEASON : 6,3/10.
NINTH SEASON : 7,1/10
TENTH SEASON : 6/10.
I am a big fan of BLACKLIST, first six seasons were amazing. One of the best tv series of this genre. There was action, mystery, emotion, tension, very good writing and James Spader. His RED character is one of the most magnetic/interesting/exciting characters in any show of this century. He is breathtaking. Every BLACKLIST fan was rejoicing in his on-screen appearances. A phenomenon.
BLACKLIST would never be so successful without the relationship of Red and Elizabeth Keen and its mysteries. Either you loved or hated, Boone's character was a pillar of this show. A foundation. Without this relationship, BLACKLIST would be just another crime tv series. This spectacular Red character needed a good script to shine, otherwise it would be just another crime tv show. Just like the last seasons.
I am not hating the last 4 seasons. There were many good episodes here. But the truth is that, when the writers messed Boone's character, this tv show lost its greatness. This was not anymore a complicated and mysterious relationship. But, a mess. Probably they had a reduced budget, too. And the other characters lost their charm. BLACKLIST didn't make much sense anymore. Lazy writing. Almost like a parody of the first six seasons.
There are no words to describe the ending. One of the dumbest and most disrespectful endings in the history of television. Only a true hater of this tv show would decide to end it like this. I don't know what they were thinking. Uninspiring and ridiculous. I gave six stars in last season out of respect for Red. And Hisham Tawfiq. "Dembe" and Harry Lennix are giving their best efforts, trying to save this mess. Of course, Klattenhoff too.
In conclusion: If you haven't watched this, i definitely recommend it to you. Watch the first 8 seasons. And stay there. Don't watch the last 2 seasons. BLACKLIST ended at "KONETS" episode. Ninth season is probably the best season after 1-6, but it adds literally nothing to BLACKLIST "lore" and "mythology". Last two seasons are a different tv show, not BLACKLIST anymore.
Goodbye Red, we'll miss you.
