Can this show last without Red?


For most people Red is the main reason that they watch Blacklist - his intricate, sometimes archaic stories and his omniscience in all things criminal make him a truly unique character.

I'm just not sure that Tom can carry a broadcast network show on his own.

I guess we'll see. The ratings weren't great.

Would be nice if Red showed up once in a while.

It seems I read somewhere that he would.

Good to hear that wheelin176.

Really? That'd be awesome. But unfortunately it'll probably just be a cameo, he'll tell a quick story, then fade into the darkness.

Can't wait until regular Blacklist comes back!

reply

Me too. The Blacklist can't return soon enough. A cameo would be my guess too.

Show needs to be fine tuned.

After having seen the third episode I think Tom's presence is not what makes this show good and or fun to watch. In my opinion Tom's character, which was little on the edge in The Blacklist, seems a bit too whiney for the context of this show by becoming the 'Liz' of this show and that's not something which I look forward to.

The first two episodes were a little bit unpolished in the sense that the character of the show didn't really come through, It felt as a mix between 24, The Ocean's movies and a general spy show. Now with the uncovering of the new storyline it now seems to have an own right of identity.

I do hope they will continuously tweak the show and take it seriously because it has absolute potential because of the actors and characters.

Third episode seems like a weak cross between Wayward Pines and The Americans.

IMHO the short answer is no. That's why I'm not watching it.

and the absence of liz is a really good reason as well
