But is it worth the commitment? Spoiler-free answer:

If there is one show from the last decade that mastered the art of the "watercooler twist," it is NBC’s The Blacklist . Now that the complete series has concluded and is available in its entirety (on Netflix, Prime, and DVD/Blu-ray), there has never been a better time to dive into the 10-season, 200+ episode journey of Raymond "Red" Reddington.
