The Blacklist is an American drama series that premiered on NBC on September 23, 2013. It stars James Spader, Megan Boone, and Harry Lennix. The pilot was written by Jon Bokenkamp and directed by Joe Carnahan

Former government agent Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) has eluded capture for decades. But he suddenly surrenders to the FBI with an offer to help catch a terrorist under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone), a young FBI profiler who's just barely out of Quantico.

Sounds Hannibal Lecter-ish

Might be interesting though

One criminal mastermind. One rookie agent. First thing comes to mind: TheSilence of the Lambs.

can't even be compared to this classic movie (it's an insult to Silence, if u insist on comparing them both). the pilot ep just had too many loopholes. also they made the good guys just too darn stupid so that the bad guys can look somewhat "intelligent" which they are not and are totally predictable. i give it 2/10, one of the worst start to a series i have ever experienced.

^ What you've said is right, but I don't think there is anything comparable on tv right now so I'll continue watching it. I don't think its 'one of the worst' pilots though.

Will you guys give it another chance for 2nd episode ?

On my watching radar for new show. Give a try for another few episode.

already given up on it, wasted my time. if they can do such a crap job on the pilot, can't expect anything good for the rest of it.

can suggest any good series to follow now ? Dexter and Breaking Bad no more after this

LYN tv series thread

The newsroom
Hannibal
Game of Thrones (if u haven't watch it yet, u really should)
House of Cards
Elementary

if u have plenty of time and likes sci fi:

Stargate SG-1

I suppose I will, just to see how it turns out.

Have you tried Person Of Interest?

Currently follow Game of thrones, The Walking Dead and Supernatural, will watch pilot series for all 4 suggested, let's see which one catch my interest
Never watch b4, nice ? Police type of series ?

it was so-so. maybe i watch the 2nd episode i have a free time. if they make it one terrorist per episode, ill definitely drop it.

the bad guy seem to know everything, the FBI seem so stupid. which very unrealistic.

the worst part is, if the guys at FBI watches any kind of Hollywood movies, they should know better than to do what they did to fall into that super obvious trap (this is NOT a spoiler btw, if u watch the pilot, u will guess everything correctly)

The teasers look good. If this guy can pull of this character, he'll be awesome as Ultron

I like it. Not really a 'police' show, but they're there also. If you watched Lost, you'll see a familiar face there.

huge fan of lost, got evengeline lily ?

any improvement from the pilot? im not too eager to download it..

Episode 2 quite boring, still follow this series just to know why Reddingtong pick Lizzy and what Lizzy husband real identity

revenge..i love their cloth
