I'll write out my thoughts after I get dinner. Might post some screenshots of my old Blacklist topics from That Other Site for content and to avoid repeating myself.

The one thing I will say is this: as much as Keen going to war with Reddington is a mid plot development that I'm not wholly into, I think it fits the character and I'm getting fucking sick of seeing the IMDB review scores getting review-bombed because Elizabeth Keen is in the fucking episode.

Also the last decent season of the show was season 5. The story arc in season 6 was a wet fart, though the execution plotline was good, and season 7 was where the show began to dive off a cliff because Laila Roberts's Katarina Rostova just kind of walked into everything she wanted and the turn Elizabeth took didn't have the weight I think the showrunners wanted. Season 8 has had some really fun ideas that I really like like the Cyranoid, but I don't buy Liz matching Reddington pound for pound like she's been able to do.

And even still, the abject hate that she gets is beyond me. By far my least favourite part of the Blacklist experience is the scathing hate for her.
