The first season of the American crime thriller television series The Blacklist premiered on NBC on September 23, 2013.[1] The season was produced by Davis Entertainment, Universal Television, and Sony Pictures Television, and the executive producers are Jon Bokenkamp, John Davis, John Eisendrath, John Fox, and Joe Carnahan.
The first season introduces Raymond Reddington (James Spader), Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone) and the members of the Task Force, a multiagency law enforcement working group dedicated to hunting down Reddington. Reddington surrenders to the FBI and offers to identify and help capture the criminals he has worked with, whom he calls "The Blacklist", but only if he is allowed to work with Liz Keen, a rookie profiler at the FBI. He refuses to explain why Liz must be involved. The Reddington Task Force, led by Assistant Director Harold Cooper (Harry Lennix), becomes the lead law enforcement agency responsible for capturing or killing the members of the Blacklist at Reddington's behest (usually to Red's benefit), which causes conflicts particularly for Special Agent Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff), who was originally tasked with capturing Reddington. This is the only season for Meera Malik (Parminder Nagra), a CIA officer and member of the Task Force, who is killed in the season finale. The season also introduces series antagonist Milos Kirchoff (Peter Stormare), AKA Berlin, a former Russian KGB officer with a longstanding hatred of Reddington. A major subplot for the season is Elizabeth Keen's discovery that her husband Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold), a schoolteacher to all appearances, is actually a covert operative with an unknown agenda and Liz's efforts to discover who he actually is and who sent him. A second subplot involves the Cabal, a shadowy multinational group that holds positions of influence in government and business, and their interest in Reddington's activities. The Cabal is usually represented by Alan Fitch (Alan Alda), the Deputy Director of National Intelligence, who tries to maintain a civil relationship with Reddington despite the Cabal's misgivings while trying to determine what Reddington actually knows.
The first season of The Blacklist received strong reviews from television critics. The Blacklist has a Metacritic score of 74 out of 100 based on reviews from 31 critics.[23] The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports an 85% approval rating based on 52 reviews, with an average score of 7.18/10. The consensus reads: "James Spader is riveting as a criminal-turned-informant, and his presence goes a long way toward making this twisty but occasionally implausible crime procedural compelling".[24]
The only downside to the wonderfully pristine image is that any glitches or defects in the actual production are glaringly evident. The most notable issue on these episodes is in terms of the CGI special effects. While the effects in the pilot are of motion-picture quality, the remaining 21 episodes of the first season show the limitations of a TV budget, as almost every special effect is glaringly low-end and noticeable. Even the green screen used when the actors are travelling in vehicles is quite evident. Of course, this has nothing to do with the transfer itself, but it can be a bit distracting and take one out of the 'realism' of each episode.
If you're a fan of James Spader, you're going to love 'The Blacklist'. His 'Red' Reddington is one of the most interesting anti-heroes on television right now, constantly walking a tightrope between redemption and villainy. While some of its plot points stretch believability, there's little doubt that this is one of the more entertaining series you'll find, and this Blu-ray release of the first season is worth adding to one's collection. Highly Recommended. 2b1af7f3a8
