Just finished 10 seasons of The Blacklist, terrific show.

Gotta love Raymond Reddington, Agnes, and Dembe. I did find Red annoying in his insistence on keeping his deepest secret even from Elizabeth when it no longer served its purpose of keeping her safe. By season 7, I feel that he should have told her so her mess ups and inevitable destruction could have been avoided entirely.

Elizabeth Keen was incredibly annoying throughout the show, but especially in season 8. Not at first, but she turned into an incredibly mercurial dimwit who couldn't find up for down. She was so desperate to find out about her past and who Red really was that she bought into several lies that critical thinking should have dispelled for her. Her evolution from an honest FBI agent to a vengeful criminal was cringe worthy way too many times. I still rooted for her to finally figure it all out. I was sad about her unexpected destruction but more so for Red given who he really was.

Still, I loved the show. It was exciting with mostly likable characters and story arcs. I never watched it before so it was all new to me.

Now I am watching the Netflix live action version of One Piece.

So glad it's not at all like the dumb anime version. I hear that its multiple variations (game, anime, live action, etc.) are all the rage with a large slice of goofy.

So far, I love the characters now that I've finally figured out WTF is going on. It is simply CRAZY, but I love "off the wall" and zany characters in real life, so it works for me! It must work for others too since it is hot right now.

Clip introducing show:

I recently finished 4 seasons of Manifest on Netflix. It was very cool and I enjoyed the plot and the characters and mystery surrounding them.

From google: Manifest is the television series featuring a plane (Montego Air Flight 828) that goes missing and reappears, with its passengers having not aged, five and a half years later. The passengers return to a world that moved on without them, dealing with the mystery of their disappearance and supernatural callings.
