A quick look at The Blacklist plot and cast

The crime drama series delves deep into the inner workings of the FBI as it tells the story of a mysterious criminal who teams up with the authorities to help them track down several notorious criminals in exchange for immunity from prosecution.

It depicts the numerous struggles, challenges, and dangers that they face as they go on several complicated undercover missions. Take a look at Rotten Tomatoes' description of The Blacklist:

''For decades, ex-government agent Raymond "Red" Reddington has been one of the globe's most wanted fugitives. But then he agreed to work with the FBI to catch his "blacklist" of mobsters, spies and international terrorists -- on the condition that he must work with profiler Elizabeth Keen.''

The synopsis further reads:

''Red's true intentions -- choosing Liz, a woman with whom he seemingly has no connection -- are unclear. Does Liz have secrets of her own? Red promises to teach Liz to think like a criminal "to see the bigger picture," whether she wants to or not.''

James Spader's performance as Reddington has been the subject of praise from critics and viewers. He's wonderfully supported by numerous actors like Chin Han as Wujing, Diego Klattenhoff as Donald Ressler, Anya Banerjee as Siya Malik, and many others.
