Is the Blacklist any good?

looking for a new show to watch, and I watched the pilot of The Blacklist last night. I thought it was entertaining, will continue to watch at least the first 5 episodes. Is it better than The Following, because that show sucks arse.

Yes. Very.
Spader is great.

I wouldn't put it up there with Breaking Bad, but it is in my regular rotation. Besides Spader's performance, it leaves you wanting to find out more about the plot.
Solid show.

It is good & would never be confused with the POS the Following.

Yeah, I like it. I think it's the only network drama I watch. Spader's character makes the show, no doubt.

I enjoyed it, it got a bit messy in the end (and even spader got very predictable). Still worth the watch.

time filler...

It is!

The show is good. Spader's performance is excellent. I am usually not a fan of the criminal of the week type shows, but the spin on it is good. It is not in my top 5, but it is definitely worth watching.

More compelling than most shows on network TV but far far removed from great drama.

I'm just glad Spader is getting some more miles out of Robert California.

The Blacklist is the titties.

Just started watching this. Does the actress that plays Lizzy get any better? She's not very good. Spader is excellent, of course.

Took me 3 episodes to realize that his butler/hand was Skinny Pete

It's an action packed soap opera with lots of violence. Best thing on the old school big network channels but that's not saying much.

The Reddington character is ridiculously written and I really can't stand the lead female FBI character. The plots are implausible. The relationship between Red and an U.S. federal agency is bizarre to say the least but still I watch. It mostly entertains but its just one of those shows where you feel dumber for having watched.

As far as "episodic" tv goes, (where new villians/challenges are confronted/thwarted weekly and tied into a nice little bow), it's pretty solid. Kind of like how House was.
But The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, House of Cards, Game Of Thrones, Mad Men, Downton Abbey, and even Heroes...have made me roll my eyes at episodic, non-chronological network TV.
The writing suffers on network episodic tv because they have to produce 30+ shows per season. They also have to dumb down the storylines/plot devices for mass audience comprehension. And they have to make each episode stand on its own (sort of like a pilot), in case some granny tunes in mid-season and starts watching it. It's filler for me.

No, and I like James Spader. I tried to watch it, but it sucks.
I've given up on network shows at this point.

Probably not. Won't touch network TV
