The Blacklist Season 1 Episode 2: The Freelancer

5 second plot: Raymond goes straight to the next one on his list: the Freelancer. This is a hit-man who disguises his killings by killing a lot of civilians in the process. Like a plane crash, a train derailment,... But together with this hit-man, Raymond has got his eye on someone else.

5 second review: From time to time I have a feeling things don't really add up. The FBI wants his help, but then they sort of give the order to take him out? They don't want to give in to his demands, no matter what, but then they do? But besides from that, it's actually a pretty great show.

The Blacklist Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot

5 second plot: A (very much) wanted criminal suddenly turns himself in to the FBI. He helps them prevent a chemical bombing of a crowded zoo. He has an entire list of criminal masterminds they can capture. With his help.

5 second review: I like the spy stuff. And his criminal mastermind. And her back story. This pilot really intrigued me. I think I will follow up on this one a little longer. Who would have thought that James Spader would ever do anything that would get my attention. I couldn't have guessed that in a million years.
