    Anybody else watch this show? Netflix finally put up season 3, so I'm getting back into it, and damn is it still good. Not as good as season 1, of course, but still solid af. f**king Raymond Red Reddington (James Spader has been the shit since Stargate).

    f**king Lizzy though. She changes her hair color more than I change my underwear

    lmao @ every episode where Liz almost dies. Like, yeah, I'm on the edge of my seat here

    She's like one of the annoying unkillable NPCs in every Bethesda game ever: whines a lot, always takes enemy aggro, and rushes into the middle of danger. But it doesn't really matter because she'll just make a miraculous recovery once the fight's over

    *** SEASON 3 SPOILERS BELOW ***

    For example, episode 18 of season 3, where Liz gives birth to the baby and then has "complications". This leads to a long, dramatic scene with Red rushing to save her life, and then ends in an emotional climax where Liz "dies" in Red's arms.

    I mean... come on... I was laughing through the entire scene because it was so f**king cliche. It could not have been more obvious that she faked her death to get away from Red. She was in the care of a doctor with obviously loose morals, and doing fine after giving birth. Clearly she asked the doc to help her fake her death. Apparently it's already been officially confirmed (I must be pretty far behind) that she'll be returning in season 4. At least they waited that long. I honestly expected the reveal to be at the end of the episode, or the next episode at the latest.

    This is being touted as an "epic, shocking twist". How? The only thing shocking about the twist is that people actually fell for it. The twist I'm waiting for is when they finally reveal that Red is Liz's father (I mean, it's pretty much assumed, but the twist will be that they spoiled the brilliant mystery they built up for 3 seasons)

    That being said, it definitely led to an awesome opening scene in the next episode. Red wakes up in an opium den, with the adorable den mother telling him that he's been there too long and must go. Really makes me want to find an opium den of my own.

    The new look suits her though.
    Started season 4 and Red proved once again not to cross him by killing Kate.

    I still miss how the show was more about the Blacklist and less about the Lizzie drama

    However I must say I always love how Red never answers anyone's questions

    Loved how the episode this week started out with a Blackister

    Yep I've watched it. I like it. Love Reds character and the mystery that still seems to surround him. Now just to wait for season 4.

    Season 4 airs here in the UK on Nov 4th. Can't wait >_

    And for the poster who stated "Season 3 is not as good as Season 1", I urge you to continue watching Season 3 until the very end... you may well be pleasantly surprised :D

    Is it just me that wishes she had died in s3 and the rest of the show was Spader going batshit, tearing through the rest of the blacklist mercilessly (while ofc avenging her)

    Genuinely one of the most stale characters ever, just such poor writing and acting all around.

    The only time I liked Lizzie was when she was holding Tom hostage and she was psycho for a little while, then she lost that edge

    I'm confused as to why they think The Blacklist: Redemption is a good idea. I mean, I've been waiting for Tom to get killed for 4 seasons and now they wanna give him his own show like anyone will watch it.

    Honestly,I would.
    Looks like the show focuses on private military.We get to see some black-ops and such.That could be interesting.

    Also Tom is a much better character than Liz.. >.> Although I have to say, I'm hesitant - spinoffs ALWAYS SUCK ASS (except Better Call Saul)

    Better Call Saul is seriously the only good spin-off series I can think of. I highly doubt Blacklist: Redemption is going to be worth watching (even though I love Ryan Eggold and his pretty f**king eyes)

    Tom is too goddamn pretty. I wanted to hate him, but those eyes...

    I never caught up with the rest of season 4. Is it worth watching?

    I've been watching but haven't been enjoying it, even Red hasn't been interesting. Although there is a story line with Mr. Kaplan that I'm looking forward to seeing it pan out.

    I do like Famke Janssen and am really curious to see her and Ryan Eggold together. I think they will have some intense chemistry.
