![]() ![]() Megan Boone has brought so many layers to Liz, and this season’s arc really gets to see that shine. Within the framework of the show, all of these things happened organically and really enhance the experience. Ressler, Aram and Samar were all heavily involved in the suspect’s pursuit, and putting Harold Cooper and Tom Keen together was a stroke of odd couple genius. It delved a little further into the Dembe story (I can’t get enough Dembe). ![]() “The Djinn”, by bringing out extra things to do for some oft-back-burner-pushed characters, created what was probably the strongest episode of the season so far. At times during Season 2, it felt like some of the characters fell to the back-burner, and “The Djinn” combats that by actually getting every single cast member involved (and then some!). The Blacklist has still kept the regular formula alive by using various blacklisters to get what they need, and assist in efforts to clear Liz’s name, but there is a whole new layer that the writers have added to the show. I wasn’t sure what to expect coming in to this season, but so far I have been enthralled. Dembe escapes and is betrayed, all before Reddington can catch up to him. Meanwhile, Tom works with Agent Cooper to find an in with someone who can help them help Elizabeth. Intentionally, they use Aram so that Ressler and Samar will find out. This week on The Blacklist: Red and Liz enlist Aram to help track down “The Djinn,” a criminal who makes revenge fantasies come true. ![]() I’m starting to hope things never change, and that The Blacklist continues its evolution. After four episodes, however, I am a believer. I actually spent most of the off-season hoping that the series would only spend a few episodes doing things differently before returning to trusted and true formula. If you had told me that Season 3 would be The Blacklist‘s best yet before it started, I would not have believed you. ![]()
