In NBC’s newest drama/thriller series The Blacklist, James Spader stars as Raymond “Red” Reddington, one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, who turns himself in and offers his expertise to help take down various crime lords, but of course, there’s a catch: he will only work with one female agent who has yet to even start her job. As far as expectations go, watching will ensue Sherlock Holmes-style detective work (i.e. fast-speaking Brits smoking pipes and eating crumpets), Mad Men-style class and composure (sexy people in suits swimming in pools of one-hundred dollar bills), Dark Knight-style suspense (Nananananananana…dynamic use of camera angles!), Vin Diesel-style explosions [Fast, furious, and lady-killing (note use of double entendre, winky face)] M. Night Shyamalan-style plot twists (Bruce Willis is a ghost the whole time, plants are evil, etc.), and Fifty Shades of Grey-style romance. Wow, is anyone else feeling a little lightheaded? Because this show sounds awesome. Can’t even use full sentences now. Anticipation.
Show airs Sept. 23 @ 10/9c on NBC
