The series ran for 10 seasons, but what made the series one of my favorites to watch was how the main character, Raymond Reddington, could remain in control and take charge in every given situation. His contingency plans were always intact for moments when things went bad or went off plan.
To date, I cannot erase the scene of Elizabeth's white wedding when Mr Solomon Lange struck with his goons heavily loaded with machinery set for utmost destruction. They made it rain cats and dogs with bullets at the church while everyone ran for their dear lives or risk being executed. Or is it when Mr Kaplan began to review the places where all the bodies were buried and Raymond's secrets, while still trying to recruit Raymond's most prized jewel, Elizabeth Keen.
So buckle up for the spoiler alert.
After Elizabeth Keen died at the end of season 7, I felt that was the end of my Blacklist journey as there would not be any purpose in watching since Raymond's jewel and purpose of living was gone. Then what will be Raymond's mission? Since all along, it has been to protect Elizabeth while keeping a vital secret from her.
Fast forward to 2025, one late evening when I was scrolling through Netflix, looking for what to watch. Mistakenly I came across the Blacklist and the usual quick intro netflix provides automatically plays for you when you hover on a movie or series. I saw some new characters having a pretty captivating dialogue with one another, and immediately, I became interested.
So I began with watching The Blacklist once again. This time, I simply continued with season 8 out of curiosity to find out what the storyline will be after Elizabeth's death.
Initially, I thought a smart and well-calculated Raymond Reddington was deadly until I met the new Raymond Reddington 2.0, enraged with vengeance. He is even worse. Yes, there are changes after Elizabeth's death, but this only makes it even better, and that is not all for the remaining seasons.
A whole lot still happens to Raymond as he even goes broke. Imagine a well-known, wealthy criminal on the FBI's most wanted list goes broke, and he still has enemies. I am sure if my friend finally finds out I went back to watch the remaining seasons of the Blacklist, he will probably look at me with pity eyes.
You should check out The Blacklist on Netflix.
