I used to love this show, Spader is pure gold in absolutely everything he does and he's the only thing keeping this show afloat at the moment. The writers have gotten far too preachy for my liking. The premise of this show used to be a master criminal manipulates the FBI to take out his competition and get closer to his daughter in the process. Now he's no longer a master criminal, the side-plot with his daughter has become boring, and the writers are trying to compensate for lack of substance by pushing their own moralising BS. Sorry guys, not everyone shares your view of the world, and you'll only lose viewers by inserting yer own biases into an established show.
Of the 7 episodes this season has given us so far more than two of them could be classed as filler episodes, completely forgettable. Of the rest we've had Black Lives Matter nonsense pushed on us (not to say all BLM issues are nonsense, but Blacklist picked up the more ludicrous ones), and this episode was little more than virtue signalling about African and Middle-Eastern migrants crossing borders illegally.
Let's get back to what made this show great eh? You've put yourselves in a position to create a great story about Reddington regaining his empire, leave your own BS at the door.
