Welcome to the Fantasy Zone!

Get ready!
The Blacklist is an upcoming drama being offered by NBC.


No, wait, don't run away just yet, they may be onto something good here! This is after all the same channel that brought us Hannibal, a show most were ready to dismiss as a lovely cash grab playing on a loose association with a popular film and book series, but instead turned out to be phenomenal! NBC didn't do that great a job promoting everyone's favorite cannibal, but they seem to be learning their lesson, and have been pushing The Blacklist pretty hard. Hopes are riding high on the Sony-produced drama, and with NBC giving it their all (The Voice is its lead in) they've got to be feeling optimistic.



So, what's it all about

Well you can either watch the spoiler-laden video below...

...or you could read on.

One of the most wanted men in North America, Raymond "Red" Reddington, walks into FBI Headquarters one day and surrenders himself.



Turns out, during his time on the run, he's been extremely busy making new friends, plenty of whom are far more violent and nasty than he, and would like nothing better than to lead the FBI right to their doorstep. There's a catch, however: he only wants to work with the inexperienced Agent Keen.


Mr. and Mrs. Keen

There's a reason I namedropped Hannibal in the introduction. You can probably tell where this is going.




Meet The Cast

James Spader as Raymond "Red" Reddington

You read that right. James Spader plays an intensely sought after fugitive with a reputation for brokering deals for criminals. His detailed network of contacts form the titular Blacklist.




Megan Boone as Elizabeth Keen

A rookie FBI profiler, and the only person Raymond Reddington has any interest in dealing with.




Harry Lennix as Assistant Director Harold Cooper

The Boss, perpetually unamused.




Diego Klattenhoff as Donald Ressler

Probably best known for playing Mike Faber (Brody's war buddy) in Homeland.

I guess I should have specified hour long dramas.

There's always Hannibal :gibs:

Haven't had a chance to see it yet, but it sounds like there's not much to be excited about. If so that's a real shame, I'll stick with it for a few episodes either way.
