Okay a couple points I want to bring up as I read over some old threads:

- Remember when they made a blatant clip show in season two?

- I'm still firmly in the camp that Reddington is Katarina Rostova as a post-op transman. How else would Reddington have escaped from Alexander Kirk? And even in the first season, there are so many tantilizingly relevant hints.

- Bro I thought Charlene was gonna dump Harold in season 3, and then she reveals she was FUCKING THE NEIGHBOUR HOLY SHIT. That was a really funny moment of the show for me.

- The guy playing Mattias Solomon was fantastic. They wasted him on Redemption.

- Actually speaking of The Blacklist: Redemption, why the fuck was it not like a suicide-squad show full of former Blacklisters doing covert ops? Instead we get Locke from Lost and a cast of all-new characters who have crazy sci-fi tech. I know the main show is unrealistic, and episodes like the Cyranoid have eye-cam contact lenses and stuff, but it felt so out of place in Redemption and there weren't even fun cameos like Gina Zenatakos or anyone related to Tom's past. I binged it in a day, I didn't like it. What a disappointment.

- The music they pick for this show is great a lot of the time. Any time Gordon Lightfoot comes on, shit's gonna go down - If You Could Read My Mind was such a pleasant surprise. They also used a song by the Weepies, which I can only explain with a screenshot:

So imagine how hype that shit was.

- High point of the show was the Mr Kaplan revenge arc. That's where the show peaked.

- The beginning of the end was season six. The president wants to kill his wife because she wants to tell the police he ran over a child. That carries significantly less weight after 2016 and 2020, where we know the public would not only excuse that shit but take up arms and attack government institutions if the president was prosecuted.

- The show jumped the shark when the Real Killer of the episode was a sentient AI.
