The Blacklist - Season 05 [DVD]

Parents...increased graphic violence...people set on fire...limbs severed etc

VERY GOOD WISH THERE WERE MANY MORE SEASONS.

Season 5 is non-stop action again. Kate is gone and Red is broke and in need of rebuilding his empire. We find him living in a motor-lodge and by all accounts he can make the best of any situation. We find him renting a house for 3 days that is robbed, but he thinks his enemies have found him and tried to kill him. He sets out on a quest to find out who is trying to kill him and stumbles onto the plan and convinces the thieves to look at a bigger picture and starts to rebuildhis empire. Later in the season we find that he is well into the mid 9 (figures i.e 1/2 Billion+) and has more or less recovered. He even has another Gulf Stream.Kate had done a lot of damage to him and it seems that a bag of bones and a DNA test are about to do even more damage. This season the FBI Task Force gets more people from the blacklist and we learn more about another daughter of Red's as well as the crooked Marshal Ian Garvey who becomes the main nemesis of the season.We see how the FBI learned the art of subterfuge to gain access to Ian Garvey and how Liz also learned so much about the art of deception in an effort to learn a truth that Raymond does not want her to know. The fake Raymond never made any "bones" about who he was and everyone just assumed that he was Raymond Reddington. Clearly if we think back to Season 1 and the meeting with Fitch we can recall how even Fitch thinks that Raymond has changed so much. In an earlier episode, Naomi knew the truth but said nothing and in this season we find that Raymond wants to see Naomi but we find that Naomi is "dead", or is she? We now have Jennifer to contend with as well as Liz and the task force. There are still more secrets to peel away and why the fake Raymond thought he had to assume the real Raymond's identify. I hope it was for a good reason (i.e. out of loyalty he did so to protect Liz), but we won't know until Season 6 or later if there are more seasons. Clearly the show can go on for a while, but only fans, the producers and the network as well as the actors can determine that. I am now looking forward to Season 6.On a side note, the 100th episode was a fun one to watch. Just when you think someone pulled something over Reddington we find that they did not.

The Blacklist, well without James Spader there is no Blacklist. Spader does one of the best acting jobs I have ever seen in Newtwork T.V. This is the FBI, The Government, The CIA, and then James Spader who is the unflappable antihero. A criminal who is yet the good gut with some hard-core ethics. So interesting and fast paced. Have to pay close attention as it goes. Also a great cast around Spader which works like a well-oiled machine. Went through the 9 seasons in a matter of month. Deep emotionally draining and so funny in a special way with Spader at the helm.

VERY DISSAPOINTED THAT THE SERIES ENDED WITHOUT ANSWERING THE VERY QUESTION THAT THE SHOW WAS BASED ON.

Love this series. Sad to see it go!

OHHHHH, THE SPIES, THE SPECTACULAR CAR CRASHES, the odd characters, the fabulous backdrops, the guns and blood and bodies everywhere . . . and all the hats and endearing snarky remarks and inside jokes!!! I really enjoyed this smart spy/crime adventure on another subscription channel -- I binge-watched all of the previous 4 seasons and couldn't wait for the current one on a national broadcast. I've had Amazon Prime for several years -- this is the first video I've watched. How silly is that? I was dazzled by all the well-known guest stars that complemented the very talented ensemble cast. I'm hoping there'll be more BLACKLIST seasons . . . hint hint hint . . . I marvel at all the great videos I CAN WATCH WHEN I WANT on Amazon Prime!!!

The product is excellent but it was delivered 2 days past the promised delivery date.

Merci

Excellent product.

Je viens de finir la cinquième saison, j'ai tenu le plus longtemps que je pouvais croyant que la sixième saison pointerait à l'horizon, c'est vraiment le doping complet, au plus on avance dans l'histoire au plus ont veux en savoir, le ou les scénaristes nous tiennent en haleine à chaque épisode et ce depuis la saison 1, je n'aime pas savoir ce qui vas se passer d'avance et je n'aime pas décevoir les autres en racontant une partie de l'énigme, mais sachez que cette cinquième saison réserve pas mal de surprise et est aussi passionnante si pas plus que toutes les autres, maintenant il faut s'armer de patience pour attendre la saison 6 et qui déjà on sait que ce ne sera pas le dernière la septième vient de commencer le tournage. Hélas pour les accros à blacklist comme moi ça fait long à attendre. Pour ceux qui doute, soyez sûre que dès le premier épisode vous serez scotchez et n'oserez plus sortir de votre fauteuil.

I enjoyed this slightly less than previous series because the occasional (and entirely gratuitous) politically correct preaching became irritating. In a late episode, just as one example, we find out that Dembe is Muslim and upset by what the infidels did in his home country (who knew? Who cares? What did it have to do with the story?).As the late, great, Sam Goldwyn said: “If you gotta message...send it Western Union”Otherwise, largely the mixture as before - and you can’t say fairer than that.

各シーズンごとに謎を残して終わっているこのドラマですが、今回のが最大と思います。シーズン５は中だるみも無く一気に見てしまいました。シーズン６も早く見たいです。この盤はPAL方式ですが、画像はNTSCと同等です。パソコンのDVDリージョン２で見れると思います。英語字幕あり、日本語無し。
