Currently, I’m enjoying The Blacklist on Netflix. The premise of the show is that one of the most notorious criminals – Raymond Reddington – surrenders himself to the FBI, agreeing to be their informant. However, he will only do so if he is allowed to work with one FBI agent – Agent Elizabeth Keen. With Reddington’s help, Keen and the FBI capture other dangerous criminals that have otherwise eluded their grasp. While Reddington’s assistance is vital to the success of the task force, no one in the FBI is certain of Reddington’s motives. As you can imagine, this causes tension between him and the FBI team members.
Sensitive Reader Alert – This shows is rated TV-14 for violence.
While this show is very engaging, the violence makes me a little uncomfortable. I can only watch a couple episodes in one sitting because some episodes are rather violent. (I don’t like seeing crimes carried out or people being tortured. This series shows just enough to make a sensitive individual squeamish, but not enough to risk being called grotesque or excessive. In other words, it’s not rated-R graphic, but deserves a little bit more than PG-13.)
