I am alright with it, I'll watch it if I have the time, otherwise it is not a must see.
I don't do well with plots/subplots/sub-sub plots/ etc .... shows like Revenge that have gone so far off the main topic that you need a map to follow who's trying to kill whom and why.
I am a longtime Spader fan so do like to see him in action but this character does seem like an older, more reserved Alan Shore - not really a stretch for him.

(22,434 posts)18 year old daughter won't watch it.
22 year old daughter didn't like the first episode,
but now is "getting into" it.
Husband LOVES it.
I like a lot of things about it. I'm a big Spader fan...I personally think he
was the best thing about Spielberg's "Lincoln" movie (and I'm a Lincoln fanatic).
The female lead wears realistic clothing and shoes AND she's adorable.
I'm really interested in the subplot involving her husband, and I like the way
that they use the sub-story to create the "cliff-hangers" that makes me look forward
to the next episode, given they appear to always solve the weekly "blacklist" case.
Not a perfect show, but I'm enjoying it!
