Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Michael Ledo The premise is a bit strange. Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold) is a former CIA agent. He is contacted by Howard Hargrave his estranged father, who faked his own death and lives in hiding. Howard had created Halcyon, a private world investigative service that can carry guns anywhere in the world and can kill just about anyone. His wife Scotty (Famke Janssen) now runs the firm. Howard doesn't trust her and wants his son to work for and spy on his mother...and not tell her that he is the son she is searching for night and day. This works as a minor subplot throughout the episodes as they perform made-for-TV action episodes that bordered on being lame. Then in the final episodes the minor subplot becomes the main plot and the series goes limp.The main problem was that after watching the series, the character development was not that great. Let's make the fat guy (Adrian Martinez) the computer geek. It worked for Jurassic Park. Famke Janssen who I loved in so many roles, had trouble pulling off the caring mom and cold killer role. Solomon (Edi Gathegi) might as well been a killer android. I wish they had some more scenes of Tom at home so we could have gotten to know the main protagonist.Might work for some people. I will take a pass on season 2.

Joanna Milne So, I have to admit that I loved The Blacklist - until it seemed that the entire world was out to get Liz, and everyone either worshipped at her feet or needed her dead in order to live their lives. It just stretched the bounds of incredulity. So, I had high hopes that Redemption might be a bit of a refresher - even without the wondrous James Spader who is simply AMAZING as Red.Sadly, I have been sorely disappointed. I struggled through the first episode and ten minutes of the second and couldn't take it for another moment. I mean, I knew that Famke Janssen had one persona, which she limps from one role to another, but this was just painful. Did she get surgery done, or is she choosing not to move her face at all?? Even the other actors being moderately better and more engaging couldn't salvage this. And even if we could get around the fact that Scottie is old enough to be Tom's mother - which, technically, Famke Janssen is - just - but the overt (and somewhat gross, to be honest) 'sexuality' she is meant to be portraying is just nauseating. It's a shame, as this could be a really good show, given another female lead, and a slightly more plausible story line, but I'm not willing to give up what feels like years of my life in order to find out.

christian-11 I love the Blacklist. It's novel, exciting and interesting.This unfortunate lovechild between Leverage and CSI:Cyber is no good.The editing is that of a typical heist show. Tech guy narrates as the heist takes place. "There is an entrance 20" to the right. As you go through this, you need to take out the guard..." ad nauseum. Split screen and high tech all over.Terry O'Quinn is completely wasted in this show. Remember how cool he was on Lost? Not here.There's nothing of the old Blacklist mystery in this show.

navtec Not bad but not exceptional. At least not yet. I saw two episodes. There is potential if the writers fill in the plot holes. Like the instantaneous travel to far off places. The availability of floor plans for any structure in the world. Remotely connecting to and manipulating things that really have no connectivity.There is a similarity to the old Mission Impossible TV series in that the solutions are multi-level but without the clever twists so far.The action was fast paced on the two episodes. Everything will need to be more believable to raise this above all the other boring action series.The tone, pacing and writing are completely different from the Blacklist so other than the characters they have nothing in common.
