If you’re not already a big-time fan of “The Blacklist”, you really should be. It’s one of the most interesting shows currently on television. And, if you’re missing it, you’re definitely missing one of the all-time best acting performances on earth. James Spader plays Raymond “Red” Reddington on the show and the part fits him to a “T”. According to Rolling Stone magazine Spader is the “strangest man on television’. He does actually have a few odd outlooks on life. He believes in negative population growth and says that’s why he has two sons with his ex-wife, one with his current girlfriend, and no more. That way the three boys will eventually replace the three of them. Interesting theory. He also freely admits to having some very strong obsessive-compulsive issues. He later stated that this affects his work in a positive way by manifesting itself in an obsessive attention to detail. This OCD attention to detail is what makes the Reddington character so amazingly intriguing to watch. And, watch we will, right up until the last episode has aired and the last question has been answered. Continue here

Here’s something appalling to think about for this fine Friday — somehow, James Spader has yet to receive an Emmy nomination for The Blacklist. How in the world does that happen? It feels like almost the product of an elaborate Raymond Reddington heist, where someone infiltrated where the votes were stored and eliminated them from existence. Read More here

After a momentous, information-heavy episode last week, it’s no surprise that The Blacklist hit the brakes — but not too forcefully. “Guillermo Rizal” focused less on the content of the information revealed about the real and fake Raymond Reddingtons and more on the emotional fallout of that reveal. On one hand, that was a frustrating — if predictable — development. Red (James Spader) refused to share with Liz (Megan Boone) further details or even a historical rationale for his choices all those years ago. The show lets him get away with that kind of behavior too often. Read More here
