a great pilot to a great title
san_sa_rocky5 October 2019
After the last season had us sleeping mode for last couple episodes.. but they had a blast at the season finale. now also having blast in the 7th Season Pilot. It was breathtaking. I sat through the whole episode and then at the end i was looking for more... i thought if i had a time machine and get to the next episode. Nice work James as usual, you amazed me with your intelligence. i never can distinguish between you and your character Raymond. This character is tailor made only for you and you made it to life. Also great reaction and action from Harry and Amir, specially after a great reveal- it was awesome.. so don't wait anymore, go watch...

The Blacklist 701 - Great Episode, although the slow pace
nickzapapp7 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Minor Spoilers Below, nothing too major eg; bob dies.

From the first second this episode had twists and turns. The external plot is very interesting in how Red is on a movie set, in DC so that the doctors can attempt to get answers for Katarina. However Red outsmarts the doctors and soon realises all is not what it is being claimed to be.

This episode had some great scenes my favourites being your no doc and im not cop, the scene where Red fights the Nurse and Red moving around the room evading the camera - which had a great track. My only critics for the episode would be the slow pace - which is usual in most episodes of the blacklist not that it is bad, but the whole investigation process, drags on and then everything unfolds in the last 10 minutes. Although I liked the wheelchair fight - this episode could have had some more action to sweaten it. The Blacklist always misses out on these cases when Liz and Dembe caught the guy, could of had something more. Anyway apart from that it was a really good episode.

For Pete's sake hire a medical consultant
larosaj-266665 October 2019

Good episode. The series is still kicking in its seventh season unlike many other series that had long run out of gas by this point but the medical errors were jarring to say the least. The nasal cannula ( the tube in his nose ) was upside down. At one point his BP was 80/40. For a man his size he'd soon be going into shock and his 02 saturation was 89 while receiving oxygen no less. Normal is about 97-98 and with supplemental 02 it would have been 100 unless he had problems breathing which he clearly did not. Nice to see why Red relies on Dembe as his only bodyguard who showed in this episode how ruthless and deadly he can be. Katarina looks like a good villain for the season and it's off to a good start. Hopefully they'll round up a nurse for future medically related issues.

Good

Great premiere. And the best blacklister in a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if when his ordeal is over red might hire steinhill and offer him more money then Katarina is. He seems like he would be a good asset for red in the line of work he's in. Good stuff with spader to. Liz telling everybody everything is going to cause problems down the line. Red might see it as another betrayal. Over all I think since season 5 the premeires have all been great. The first for seasons had decent first episodes though.

That Awful Woman
Hitchcoc2 December 2022
Are we supposed to feel anything for Katarina. She is a butcher. For some reason, Red has a positive feeling about her. Apparently, she wants to do him in to get everything he has and to get critical information. At first I thought that the rest of this show would have Reddington as a paraplegic. The entire ruse is pretty amazing. His ability to get himself out of his situation was a lot of fun. Now I'm depressed that the entire Seventh season is going to be dealing with that awful woman. She is a virago. And, of course, there is going to be Elizabeth's role in the task force since she has lied to most of the people.

beautifully done!!
dattaakash-370553 August 2021
A whole lot of action, with a great start. I have faith in the story-writer. If the beginning is so good, i can't wait to see what comes next. Mystery and Mystery, clearly not up to the level of mr. Robot or brbd, but hel ya, this is one of my most fav tv series.

Good first episode of the series
ak202023 April 2020
Another reviewer has said "For Pete's sake hire a medical consultant". I agree with that. The way they give intravenous injections would not do the trick (of putting someone to sleep).

Nevertheless, ignoring all the mediavl impossibilities in this episode, it was a good story and I am looking forward to the second and final part of the season opener here in the UK.

Aram Is A Child And Keen Is Just Awful
noonieblount5 September 2022
Uh, not really a good season opener.

Aram is like a child you can tell fairytale stories to at bedtime and at the end of the story, when it's revealed the princess was saved, he asks a million questions instead of understanding the bigger picture.

Please do something about Keen's wardrobe. It's just awful. It doesn't help with her character development. And can we have one episode without her fake tears? Poor acting.

As I mentioned in a previous review, I lost a bet to a friend and so I'm forced to endure this season and two more. Not sure what my friend saw to be great about the show....other than Dembe, Brimley, and the fake Reddington (on occasion).

Money Money Money
GoldenGooner0423 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The last season should have been the last, but we saw the signs, we knew who was coming into it.

Is Red a idiot, the way she injected him COME ON folks, but for this season and the ones following it jumps the shark as they say.

This show was kept on as it makes a lot of money, and of course the actors are fine with that But this season the 1st time round made me angry, as it's so stupid, it's like a jigsaw puzzle forcing round pieces into square holes.

And then it gets even worse next season We got answers, that should have been that, end the series Liz has her daughter back, and Red stayed for dinner but nope, we can drag at least another 3 seasons out of it it' funny in the UK I will now whizz thought seasons 7 and 8 at treble speed, and at the same time watching season 9 and we are still waiting for the dam truth what some believe is truly funny and quite nuts, but who knows if the script writers will see them and think "that's a good idea" I remember Lost at the end of the 1st season we was told: It's not time travel they are def not dead and after season 6 guess what folks !!

This is going the same way, the scriptwriters don't have a god dam clue what the answers are.

Don't care who Reddington is -- or anyone else
insideout0987 October 2019
I started watching this show because I love James Spader's work, and just as importantly, because I loved the premise that an international criminal could help a secret branch of the FBI solve crimes. I never cared about Reddington's true identity anymore than I cared about Liz's relationship to him. I just wanted to watch Red do his thing while the government fell all over itself trying to justify the existence of this team of criminal enablers. I just don't care about the rest of it, including - but not limited to - Katrina - or whoever she actually is. Ridiculous at this point.

Rediculous character, awful actress (Katarina)
JasonBelle9 June 2020
UNWATCHABLE because of her alone. The guy playing Dom is bad enough but she with some unknown source of countless millions to spend over a stupid plot idea is so over dramatic it's embarrassing. Dr Doofenshmirtz on a prime time NBC show. At least he was supposed to be (and was) funny.

Horrible plot
bsquare1118 October 2019
I dont like kidnap themes & this was among the worst. Two episodes if it to make matters worse. I prefer Redington to be in control for each episode.
