My husband and I are watching Blacklist. The first season was in 2013. It is bizarre how many events covered in Blacklist have become reality in the past few years. As I watch I wonder what other clues they'll give about 2022.

IMO Hollywood has shown us a lot of half-truths and until now I haven't noticed how many times they have shown us those half-truths before they happen. It's like they know it is going to happen and they want to read the temperature of the audience. Another possible motivation is to make conspiracies seem clownish. They present the conspiracy and then twist it. Media, TV production, movie production companies all seem to be owned by the same few people. I side-eyed the world wide virus from China episode but when Blacklist had a cabal episode my Spidey senses went into overdrive. The FBI team stopped a virus leading to the apocalypse. Human trafficking, false flags, blackmail, CIA corruption, mind-control, efforts to destroy our financial system, a Fulcrum which is proof of a shadow government's political assassinations and terrorism, are in episodes in the first two seasons. One departure from our current reality is the media on Blacklist isn't part of the problem. But, Blacklist did an episode about a troll farmer who creates diversions on social media by creating events that look real to the public. False flags -- look at this, not that.

Has anyone watched it? I'm currently watching season 3. Is it a coincidence? I don't know but it is captivating. Most people watched this in 2013-2015. Watching it later is just ... jaw dropping.
