Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Sorry, this movie sucks

Great Film overall

Admirable film.

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.

this is not a Blacklist and i hardly forced myself to sit and see it. I was positive surprised to see more mystery about Tom's parents. Good stuff. Similar like mystery of Elizabeth's father. Action scenes are mostly just like any other average crime action TV show. Hoping that season 2 will give us more then season 1 did. But i still miss Reddington

The indefatigable Tom Keen from The Blacklist sets off on new adventures as part of a shadowy organization contracted by the US government that may or may not be the good guys. As with The Blacklist, it's hard to tell who's naughty and nice in this exciting TV show that, while derivative at times, benefits immeasurably from breathless pacing and meticulously plotted stories. At its core, this is a story of love and betrayal, with liberal doses of paranoia thrown in. I wouldn't want to live in Tom Keen's world, but I have to admit that it makes for an entertaining hour of television.

It could be a great spin off but somehow they've found the worst writers who absolutely do not know geography, are not familiar with computer technology and don't have any sense of reality.If the original movie was based on a good detective story line, here we see a mess. seems like they've no idea what to write about and get all their points on nowdays political scandals and Santa Barbara.
