Simpsons not withstanding, this is pretty much the fate of any network TV show. Being forced to put out 20+ hour long episodes year after year leads to some awful writing. |

Thanks for the recommendation of 24. I just watched the first two episodes and don't think it is for me. It seems like an "action" show which I am not a fan of. I prefer more drama and less shooting. My theory is if a show or a movie has machine guns or car chases it is not for me unless it is a war movie. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Just finished it also I had no idea how evil this man was I knew about the murders of course But all the child abductions and rapes Just so sick Its chilling to hear the adult woman recount the time she was abducted and molested as a child. The sheer number of crimes and the evilness of the acts is stunning. Damm Diane Feinstein. She really blew it hurting the investigation. The way he was caught was so satisfying.

I stopped watching Blacklist around season 4 because I couldn't stand the female lead anymore. She disappeared for much of that season and the show was so much better with her gone. Then she came back and I quit watching. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

24 got really old really fast. Too much gratuitous violence. And the plots were not believable, to have that much stuff happen in 24 hours. Plus it was totally unrealistic. Jack would be in one location and 10 min later he would be across town. Did he have a transporter? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

What is it you liked about The Blacklist? It’s had car changes and machine guns. And explosions. 24 and Blacklist seem very similar to me, with 24 being more serial. Have you seen Burn Notice? Also on Amazon Prime. I think it might be a little closer to Blacklist than 24. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | We watched Travels by Narrowboat on Prime and enjoyed it, kind of a travelling minstrel cooking show, self filmed by our host Kevin Shelley, aka Country house Gent. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

It's so odd looking behind the scenes at period pieces. They try so hard to create an era, but are surrounded at all times by the 21st century. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
