Watched all 9 seasons. I have a love-hate relationship with it. The love is mainly for James Spader and the actor who plays Dembe. I'll try not to spoil anything, but the show devolves into the usual TV silliness and woke elements over time. That said, I watched most of it when I was not aware of what's going on, so there may be things I missed.
That's about when we stopped, but we wound up returning during the plandemic when we ran out of things to watch. I will say that they unintentionally make the FBI look incompetent.
The first few seasons are great, Raymond's little monologues about fine food or whatever are just fantastic. Really a great show.
Until you get to the Trump era. The writers change. Raymond, arms dealer, killer, drug runner, terrorist Raymond changes. Gone are the amusing tales of eating fine cheese at the table of terrorist masterminds and suddenly he is making crypto-leftist allusions to mistreating illegal immigrants. The second main character turns into a total pain in the ass. I had to stop watching it, it became painful. First 3 seasons are some of the best TV though, so enjoy.
Oh dear, I can just imagine. I'm only on S1 ep 9 and it's good (no propaganda) but I know what you mean about the virtue signaling and typical lefty writing n preachy. I'll probably stop watching as soon as the writing changes.
I love the blacklist, have watched every episode , and still don't understand the relationship between red and liz. The guy that plays red is definitely the best actor on TV or film -hands down!

It became unwatchable about half way through, very sad

Yes. Raymond and Dembe. The best parts of the whole series!
Check out Person of Interest too.
Loved this show

If you like sharp, witty dialog, you have to watch West Wing.
Yes, it’s a Dem WH. But the writing is SUPERB.
The writing was excellent but watching it now with hindsight it’s shocking how much subliminal brainwashing was put into shows like this.
Thanks! I’ll check it out.
Wow, people still watch TV?
I got rid of mine years ago when I realised.

I think Red is Lizzy's dad.
I always thought that too, but DNA evidence came back not a match. [ I forget which season/episode]
Oh don't spoilt it, I'm only on S1 ep 10
ooops, srry
