The Blacklist S1E9
WARNING: This review contains spoilers.
Lizzy comes to work on her day off and channels her inner badass.
The promos for the latest episode of The Blacklist suggest that the show is stepping up its game. So I tuned into "a very special Blacklist," expecting an unknown international turkey smuggler being the target. Because its Thanksgiving. What I got was much better.
It is fun and cathartic to watch the highest rated new show of the season. The characters are over-the-top, the plot makes absolutely no sense, and there is a big budget which translates into lots of stuff blowing up. A great release for those of us who watch prestige drama.
