New to the series. I've only watched the first season so far. It's not bad, but there are a few things that i don't like.

1) I think they overdo the "Red is a badass!" scenes. There are just way too many of them.

2) The characters, outside of Red, are fairly forgettable. Most of them seem to only exist to serve the plot.

3) The score is overly intrusive. The songs just seem to "on the nose" particularly in the (seemingly obligatory) closing montage of every episode.

4) It sounds silly, but there are too damn many secrets. I know the show is built around major secrets that are only hinted at, but does every episode need a half dozen mini secrets sprinkled into the plot? It's just overused to the point of ridiculousness.


Criticisms aside, I'm still enjoying it.


Favorite parts so far:

Tom Noonan, Bob Ross, "The Suspense is killing me."

It's okay. Not as good as the first season.

I pretty much dropped this show from my watch list. Too much of the same thing every week.

I've liked this season a lot so far. The role reversal has been refreshing.

That fall finale was cringe-worthy. So bad.

One could only hope. Her character is terrible at this point.

If I have to watch 1 more episode of her bitching to Spader after he has saved her life numerous times....

How can she not know by now that she's his daughter? Next to Lois Lane not knowing Clark Kent is Superman, it's the stupidest most obvious thing.

This. I love this show, but hate her character. I'm ready to watch Reddington go on a killing spree. 3 episodes left in the season. Time to start the hunt, cliffhanger, and start the rampage in season 4.

Although I am tired of the BS of her whining about Redmond.

Was kind of thinking the same thing when watching. I truly hope not.

They are spinning off Tom into his own series with Solomon as his main antagonist. Starts next year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Thursday’s episode, Ryan Eggold’s Tom was horrified to learn that Liz (aka his almost-bride, played by Megan Boone) died following the birth of their daughter. The tragedy leaves Tom a widower and a single father. It also intensifies the rivalry between him and Edi Gathegi’s Mr. Solomon, the baddie indirectly responsible for Liz’s death and — not so coincidentally — the primary antagonist in the aforementioned spinoff.


Meanwhile, the apparent death of Boone’s Liz comes as the actress herself prepares to give birth to her first child, likely leading viewers to wonder whether the character’s demise is merely a ruse to accommodate her real-life maternity leave. This wouldn’t be the first time James Spader’s Red faked her death as a protective measure (see: this season’s fifth episode, “Arioch Cain.”)
