Creepy incestuous religious cult with militia leanings? The Blacklist, you’ve done it again! Well, sort of. Granted, the titular Blacklister this week stuffed just about every crazy cult cliche that the writers could possibly think of, but I’ll be damned if it wasn’t successfully executed, at least for the purposes of pure entertainment value. Heavily armed? Check. Crazy religious with a less than subtle preoccupation with doomsday? Check. Allusions to Waco? Check. Polygamy and incest? You know it. Creepy leader that’s both the worst Sunday School teacher you ever had and the old guy in your childhood neighborhood that you always assumed had a body in his basement? Big check. “The Kenyon Family” may not be the most dangerous members of The Blacklist, but they do make an impression.
