The Blacklist - S1E6
WARNING: This review contains spoilers.
After a strong episode last week, The Blacklist delivers "Gina Zanetakos," an episode as hard to follow as the title is to pronounce. A lot of stuff happens within the show's 44 minutes and a fair amount of it does not make much sense.
As I've said previously, for me to enjoy The Blacklist, I have to suspend logic and just come along for the entertainment of Spader's acting and the big-budget action scenes. But this week requires more than a suspension of logic. It requires thought. And thought during The Blacklist can make the show much less enjoyable, because most of the plot of The Blacklist does not make sense.
