I'm only on Season 5, but… Raymond Reddington is literally one of the most interesting characters I have ever encountered in a television series. He reminds me of BBC Sherlock's Moriarty and Mycroft merged into one man, with a little flavor of his own. Most of the characters in the show are really well done, and I love how each episode has a new Blacklister, often with their own interesting development as well. Elizabeth Keen does get on my nerves sometimes, but… I really love Dembe, Aram, and Tom.
:0000 yes! I'm so far behind, I think just barely in season 3 but I'm totally binging once school finally lets me take a break.
Liz does kinda get on my nerves sometimes, as does Tom, but Aram is literally a precious bean, Dembe's a kind soul and we stan how badass he can be when he needs to, and Red? Oh, Red needs no explanation XD
(I'd probably say, I've hated Solomon the most for Blacklister wise ahaha)
Hooray! Another fan! :)
Red is literally the best. I cannot even express how much I love his character. And James Spader does such a fantastic job at playing his character, too. It's so perfect. Dembe is seriously awesome; I love his personality. He's so loyal and pure, but will snap somebody's neck without even thinking twice if necessary, and good gosh I just appreciate his character more with each passing moment. Aram is literally so precious. Those three are, without a doubt, my top favorites.
I actually like Tom alright. He's not a top top favorites with Red, Dembe, or Aram, but I like him. When the series started I highkey hated him, but as the episodes have gone by he has slowly grown on me. Little by little. But now he's starting to do some things in Season 5 that are starting to… concern me… But I won't spoil anything for you. (Besides, I can't remember what has happened in Season 3. I've binged it so much that the episodes run together.)
As for Liz… well, I don't know what it is. I just feel like she makes a lot of foolish decisions and that she is kind of a jerk to Reddington, all things considered. I mean… yes, he is a criminal and whatnot but… c'mon. He's Reddington.
I feel like she's kind of confused with it all, which is why she doesn't trust Red. There's so much to deal with and then the
Spoiler - click to show.
fact that she has a kid
is also a huge deal. But yeah, I totally agree that she jumps into things too quickly and then it just looks bad on her part, or it's a stupid decision.
And for Tom, he's more like a 50/50. I like him in is current arc, but as soon as Tom was found out, that's the Tom I don't know how much I really like. He's a character you like to dislike sorta
Please someone send Aram more hugs.
Aram deserves all the hugs.
And yes I agree that Liz confused, which is thoroughly justifiable, and even distrusting Red is pretty much justifiable as well, but… I don't know. There's just something above her overall behavior in general that really grates against me.
And yea, I get exactly what you're saying about Tom. In Season 1 I full-on hated him.
Not gonna lie, Samar bothers me just because she can't make up her mind about Aram and the fact that she couldn't understand Liz faked her death because of a perfectly good reason. Ok, being mad I get. Holding a grudge awhile, maybe. But holding it so long that you just transfer??? Girl smh
Yea, especially with the Aram thing. Aram has been crazy about her since she arrived and she has kind of majorly taken the guy for granted. I mean… c'mon. And even though I disagreed with Liz faking her death, I did think transferring was an overreaction of Samar's part.
Check out the one-season spinoff The Blacklist: Redemption.
I've never heard of that. I'll definitely have to look it up. Thank you very much.
