Did The Blacklist Cast and Crew Really Film in All Those Countries?

Did the cast and crew of The Blacklist actually travel to all the international locations featured in the show, or were most of those scenes filmed somewhere else?

Rewatching S2 currently and

Im at 2x15 and boy, what on earth are those „german“ people and license plates?

They prolly hired american actors who can speak german instead of real german actors and it sounds awful as a german.

It just feels like they didn‘t wanna commit to the real piece and found the easiest solution, sadly.

Pay attention! Redarina Theory

  1. Agnes told Reddington that Liz told her before she died that Reddington was the most important person in her life and that he was Russian. And Agnes playfully asked Red "when did you stop being Russian" that's where Red was hinted that Dembe gave the letter to Liz before the night she was shot and the letter had everything in it from why Red came into her life.

  2. When you watch Nachalo, Red told Liz Ilya became Reddington on a few occasions but someone else decided to continue being Red, but he never mentioned Katarina, but in the flashbacks it was apparent that Katarina became Reddington when she started seeing Hans Koehler

  3. When Tatiana Petrova(fake Katarina) abducted Dom and was asking who had the Sikorsky archive, Dom hallucinating told her that She and Reddington both had the Archive. (What does that tell you)?

  4. Cape May: if Red wasn't Katarina how was he able to have memories of what happened in the house each when Katarina was there alone

  5. The scene where Red's back was burnt, it was clear from the onset that It was only Katarina and real Reddington who were in the house on the night of the fire and Liz shot Reddington, Katarina got burnt trying to pull him out of the fire but he didn't make it and they couldn't tell anyone Red was dead. Even when Liz asked fake Red whether was there the night of the Fire, he said yes.

There are a few things that seem to contradict the Redarina theories like when he met Anne, when Kate Kaplan decided to go against Red, and Doms relationship with Red. Some ppl still don't understand why RED Shot the Fake Katarina Rostova he met in Paris.

I think this should be enough for anybody who paid close attention watching the series to undoubtedly know Katarina became Reddington.

Unhinged Elizabeth

I am currently obsessed with unhinged keen in season 5 episode 10. Elizabeth has annoyed me throughout the seasons at times but in trying to take folks advice to not get stuck on Elizabeth’s downfalls I’ve been enjoying the acting a lot more. The look on her face when she drives the car with the handcuff is so intense I love it

Change of Direction

Is there any character that you felt may have been meant for a smaller role in the show, that eventually was added as a reoccurring character because they were so good or a fan favorite - like Glen, Aram, or even Dembe?

Just Finished The Blacklist – It’s a Masterpiece, But I’m Left With Some Questions

It’s a Masterpiece, But I’m Left With Some Questions

I just wrapped up The Blacklist, and it’s honestly a masterpiece – incredible storytelling from start to finish. But there are two lingering questions that keep bugging me:

  1. What did Red whisper to Alexander Kirk about what really happened to Katarina Rostova? That moment was intense, but we never got clarity, and it feels like a huge piece of the puzzle is missing.

  2. And that letter... the one Dembe gave to Liz. It clearly held some huge revelation, enough to make her hesitate on killing Red and taking over the empire. But what was in it? We didn’t get a proper answer, and I think we need some light on that.

Does anyone else feel like these were massive loose ends? Or am I missing something here?

The Blacklist is my all-time fav!

I never liked or watched even a whole season of a series until I was a scene of the blacklist at a friend's, it was 8x22 I all of a sudden go interested and started watching the entire show, everything about the movie and the characters is so on point for me, second time rewatching and on season 10.

I can't get tired of it lol, I got boring at a point due to Liz Keen but it was worth the watch.

Disease.

I just started season 10 and suddenly remembered.... wasn't Raymond dying from some uncurable disease like, 5 seasons ago?

He didn't end up dying? What the hell happened with that subplot?

Fire escape escapes

Why doesn't the task force ever cover the fire escapes or back doors when they breach where the bad guys are?

One of my favourite Reddington speeches

I would have put a clip up but I can never find one. It’s from Season 4 Episode 1.

I think my favourite part of it is that it’s simple and honest, he’s not trying to be fancy and clever. Don’t get me wrong, I love it when he does that because Spader is so great at delivering it but I loved the simplicity of this little bit.

Elizabeth Keen you dumb bitch

Here for 1 thing. I’m on season 2 episode 20 & all I can think is. What a fucking idiot. “You had an affair with my mom & killed my dad” girl be fucking serious. Red gets hoes and yes I know I love spoilers … but you wanna go run to Tom bitch ass wrap this storyline up immediately Reddington over Tom any day. Mans was going to let you convince yourself you was crazy but because you’re too fucking busy to find new dick you spinning back to Tom. And I know her stupid ass will be pregnant soon because ofc thats where this is going.

Happy Halloween!

Anybody other than me notice there are delicious elements of horror in many episodes of The Blacklist? In honor of the holiday, let's each list the episode we found the creepiest! I'll go first!

!In season 1, episode 18, "Milton Bobbit (No. 135)". When the main villain of the episode takes off his nose, it gives me full body chills every time! And even his evil super-power, exploiting the dying to inadvertently enact death, is super gross and diabolically underhanded.!<

What's spooky villain from The Blacklist creeps you out the most?

When Brimley isn't torturing, he works as a guard at a building complex where murders happen.

Just saw the fourth season finale of Only Murders in the Building and realised Brimley is played by Lester.

Awesome line from Red

S3 Ep23 "Aram, set him up with someone for God's sake. He's like a kid with his first erection on the school bus". That had me laughing out loud something wicked 🖤

What according to you is Raymond's favourite wine? And if you had to gift him a bottle, what would you choose?

So Tom had everything figured out.

When I first watched the show, I thought Tom had only figured out the secret in the suitcase. I thought that was what he meant by "I know". But upon rewatch, Tom knew far more. He knew Oleander, aka Dom, which meant that he probably connected the dots between Dom and faux Reddington, and probably guessed it was Katarina.

Season 9 completed

So guys im moving on to the final season of blacklist and since marvin gerard fucked up with wujing...im going to assume he will try to kill Reddington ( which im not very fond of seeing ).. And im not fond of the endings of many movies or series i get addicted to ( for example - john wick )... So i have 2 questions for the people who have watched it full..... Will reddington die in the end ? Will we ever get to know the true identity of who he was/is ?
