	Author	Review
United States	Joanne Ostrow Denver Post	"His name is above the title and, depending how you feel about James Spader, NBC’s 'The Blacklist' may become your favorite fall show."	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"The pilot episode is stylish and swiftly paced, but that’s all it is, and despite some intriguing plot twists, there’s not a lot of motivation to keep coming back."	NEU
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"It’s certainly an intriguing pilot--you can’t take your eyes off of Spader and the writers have thrown in a couple of other interesting twists."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Spader has always been a particularly interesting actor, and he’s well suited to this sort of twisted figure, where so much is going on behind those eyes."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"You think you know this situation and how it will turn out, but there are surprise, yet entirely credible, twists."	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"The many layers of feints and puzzles are compelling, but it’s hard to see how they can last more than a season or two."	POS
