The Blacklist will premiere on 5USA on Monday April 25th at 9pm.
The Blacklist tells the story of ex-government agent Raymond “Red” Reddington, who has been one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives for decades. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as “The Concierge of Crime.” Now, he’s mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an explosive offer: He will help catch a long-thought-dead terrorist, Ranko Zamani, under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth “Liz” Keen, an FBI profiler fresh out of Quantico.
For Liz, it’s going to be one hell of a first day on the job. What follows is a twisting series of events as the race to stop a terrorist begins. What are Red’s true intentions? Why has he chosen Liz, a woman with whom he seemingly has no connection? Does Liz have secrets of her own? Zamani is only the first of many on a list that Red has compiled over the years: a “blacklist” of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. He will help catch them all… with the caveat that Liz continues to work as his partner. Red will teach Liz to think like a criminal and “see the bigger picture”… whether she wants to or not.
The drama series stars James Spader, Megan Boone, Ryan Eggold, Diego Klattenhoff and Harry Lennix.

Hmm... sounds like a vanity project by an old actor who wants to work with a young woman.

That was an interesting first episode. Liz doesn't know about her husband's past, though I think I would have found a better hiding place if I'd have been her husband. Stashing stuff under the floorboards is not a good idea. Will continue to watch.

I quite enjoyed and will stick with it. Is the husband dead? I hope not because that was quite an interesting development.

I watched a few series of this before. I found it enjoyable...mainly because I am James Spader fan.

Hmm. There are parts of this I really like and parts that I don't. I can see the twist coming from miles away. Spader is very good apart from being the evil twin of Peter Perfect. I knew the husband was a bad un even before she found the stuff. No one is that nice in real life.
And that's the problem I'm having with it overall. The characterisation is very shallow. There's some great actors being wasted on stereotypes.
And I wish they would increase the wig budget for the protagonist. Those two she's worn so far are terrible

I think there are 9 series of this show. It has been renewed for a tenth season. I will not give you a link to the announcement because there are some really serious spoilers all of the ones that I have seen. Seasons 1 to 5 are available on Amazon Prime.

Not sure how to handle that it is on both Five, and Amazon Prime (at least up to the end of Season 5) I just saw something in Season 1 Episode 8 which intrigued me, I will put it in a spoiler and warn people that it is only a thought, at the moment. {SPOILER:Click to Show}Is Reddingron Liz Keen's real father? In this episode I got that feeling. It was not said out loud, but there were some undercurrents that seem to suggest this.

Well that’s what I think as well, otherwise…. {SPOILER:Click to Show}Why will he only deal with her? She’s not exactly a superstar in the FBI is she?

It certainly answers a few questions. {SPOILER:Click to Show}I wonder if they meant for that feeling to come out now, and they will slowly reveal it over the next few seasons, when we get a: "Luke I am your father" moment for Liz.
