Series Description

The Blacklist TV show is a 60 minute crime drama series on NBC about a former government agent turned most wanted criminal mastermind named Raymond Reddington who offers the FBI a deal.

Blacklist Trivia:

One of the things that makes the Blacklist TV show so unique is that there is a double plot to each episode. The pursuit of a criminal and the mystery behind Redington's interest in agent Keen. Kiefer Sutherland was considered as a possibility for the role of Red Reddington.

The Blacklist has garnered high critical acclaim for the scripts full of intriguing plot twists and the acting, especially the performances of James Spader!

It's somewhat amazing how much James Spader brings substance to the Blacklist! In Australia the series premiered under the title, "James Spader's The Blacklist"!
