wow,someone other then me who watches Gray's anatomy??
nope you are not the only one
been watching it since it started airing so many years back...
Watched
The Blacklist yesterday. It was on my radar only coz of James Spader, and I wanted to see how he's gotten after all these years... but primarly coz hes gonna play Ultron in the next Avengers movie and I wanted to see how he gets his villain on.
Glad to report I wasnt disappointed.
Those who've watched Spader in all those 80s and 90s awesome movies when he portrayed a mixture of Robert Downey Jrs brand of crazy (before it became a trope) and at the same time exude Brian Ruffalo's aloofness AND Kevin Spacey's level of villainy on screen. Mr. Spader brings all that and more to The Black List where he pulls a very Spaceyesque surrender to FBI at the very beginning of the show, and then proceeds to make them dance on his whims. Alledgly his character Red Reddington, a wanted criminal mastermind, has a 'list' of worlds most notorious criminals and he will proceed to help FBI track and capture them only if they let him interact with a certain young agent Ms. Keener (played by a very cappacuino mocha latte looking Megan Boone).
I know this all sounds very Hannibal and very other cop/robber, FBI agent/villain, but the value James Spader brings to the table, makes for some DAMN good television. Normally I hate cop-procedurals, and by its definition this is a strict procedural with a new target every week, but theres enough morsels thrown in to make you look for the next episode.
TV veterans will proly groan at first (like I did) "naah shes his daughter DUH!" "naah hes got a hidden agenda like every other supervillain who allows himself to be captured DUH!" . Trust me there's enough goodness to satisfy you if you go in with average expectations.
Hes hoping Mr. Spader brings the same level of mad INDI-geniousness to Avengers 2!
