The Blacklist | Raymond Reddington Being An Iconic King For 5 Minutes

[@Jackbeedie]

How can a character be so dark and violent yet so adorable 😂

[@karloatl]

His true identity, is Guillermo del Toro

[@kasulejacob]

Only James Spader could bring that to life.

So Raymond Reddington is playing James Spader? Well that's a twist I didn't see coming.

[@grzywaxd]

“It’s a luxury to stand on the moral high ground and critique those of us on a low ground. A lot of people do exactly that… until they need my help”. Damn it, James Spader is soooo good

[@WESTCOASTPHENOM]

I honestly have never been so captivated by a character. How can someone monologue and still have you glued to the tv.

[@michaellalli7693]

The script for Raymond is nothing less than spectacular -

[@Jackbeedie]

It fits his character flawlessly 😂

[@ingardkarlsen1247]

Check out the actor, James Spader. He literally has the same personality irl

[@Ms.Anonymous]

And James Spader plays it to perfection

[@GeoJesse]

“I’m not bored, I’m just anxious to leave” totally feel that

[@damonbrown4548]

Just made me laugh out loud! Great actor and character!!

[@AbdelrhmanZanati]

I never forgot that quote "As bad as you think I am as far as you think I’m willing to go to protect that which I hold most dear you cannot possibly fathom how deep that well of mine truly goes.” it's one of the most iconic quotes I've ever heard on tv James Spader is a phenomenal actor

[@MorichikaChosokabe]

I am a violent man. I am taken on life that requires it. I hurt people. I kill people. And each time I do... In that moment... Another part of Me dies along with Them. ... You attacked a pregnant woman, broke three of Her ribs and left her lying unconscious on the floor in mall's underground parking lot. * doing three shots to the chest*

James Spader is absolutely superb! The Blacklist is his masterpiece. I am so glad that he got this role. It was meant for only him! Excellent performances! His range in this film is amazing! I look so forward for much more of James Spader in The Blacklist! Phenomenal actor! Peace.

[@billj4525]

I just started watching season 1 a few days ago and I love it. I have been binge watching it like crazy lol. I was curious about the later seasons though. I have seen people some people on KZbin saying only the first 4 seasons are good and others saying season only the first 6 or 7 are good and not to bother watching after that. I was curious about your opinion on that since you're a big fan of the show.

[@darincampbell171]

@@billj4525 - All seasons are very good! Excellent written show. To hell with all the nay sayers. Trust me, this is a wonderful show. Peace.

[@rebeccajunge2499]

@@darincampbell171 Thank you for saying that! I've always thought that most of those who complain about the show are just angry because the plot doesn't go where they want it to go. The Blacklist is one of the most original shows I've ever seen and the writers take a lot of risks by not satisfying many viewers' expectations. I love it and am very curious about how they's decide to end it this year.

[@darincampbell171]

It may have dipped slightly for a season but this current season which ended last night was A.+ +

[@InterstateRaziTV]

One of the biggest mysteries on planet Earth is how James Spader hasn't won an Oscar yet!

Maybe because is a tv series?

Sometimes when I enter my house at night I wonder if Red is sitting in my living room waiting with one of his stories he tells right before pulling the trigger.

[@allthingstoallmen8912]

Those stories are often the best part of the episode😂

To be fair it'd be an absolute honor to die by a bullet which he shot

[@ravipratik3305]

Best line, “ just because you bumped into the front seat of Orchestra does it mean you can compose a symphony.”

[@prabhatdeshmukh9592]

Red when addressing Aram and Navabi - Agent Mojtabai, Agent Navabi. Red when addressing Ressler- DONALD

[@Draknfyre]

He's more more familiar in tone to Ressler because of their shared history. While he only meets the other two after the task force is formed, he has personal history with Ressler, who tracked him for five years and attempted to assassinate him. And of course Red also saved his life with that blood infusion while they were trapped in the box.

[@EdDeLancey]

Blacklist and Raymond Redington is by far one of my favorite series. He's an inspiration.
