Subreddit for "The Blacklist", an American crime thriller television series that premieres on NBC.
The Blacklist airs Friday nights at 8:00/7:00c on NBC. Live episode discussions and post episode discussions will be conducted when the show is airing.
For decades, ex-government agent Raymond Reddington (James Spader) has been one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as "The Concierge of Crime".

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?
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.
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.
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
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)?
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
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.
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
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?
I love Aram's and Red's interactions they are always funny and cute. What ais your favourite interaction of them?
Love Casual Friday Ressler!
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:
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.
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?
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.
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?
Why doesn't the task force ever cover the fire escapes or back doors when they breach where the bad guys are?
Just finished season 4. Haven't convinced myself if I want to watch redemption or not.
I am loving this Dembe side arc is S3E1 deserved. What do mean he has a daughter & Grand daughter
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.
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.
I’m rewatching and I’m in season 8 and I can’t sugar coat in any way how much Elizabeth annoys me!! She’s up there with aturito from money heist and t bag from prison break smh!🤦🏿♂️
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 dom was hallucinating, he said to the woman reddington placed to be Katarina that both her and reddington have the archive.
My eyes are leaking...
I absolutely love the Luther Braxton episode (S2E9)
Just saw the fourth season finale of Only Murders in the Building and realised Brimley is played by Lester.
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 🖤
Is Season 10 DiNozzo.
What according to you is Raymond's favourite wine? And if you had to gift him a bottle, what would you choose?
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.
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 ?
