The Blacklist, Season 3
created by Jon Bokenkamp (2016)

The Blacklist, Season 2
created by Jon Bokenkamp (2014-2015)
James Spader takes up where he left off as the manipulative but morally ambiguous Raymond Reddington, a charismatic criminal who has forged a relationship with and within an FBI black ops taskforce. The plotline compels even while approaching the incredulity event horizon.
