The new series is quite easy to watch, a bit like a Hallmark program but still watchable. However, I have one issue with this series which is tempting me to stop, the actress playing Olympia is driving me nuts, bad bad acting, speaks at 100 miles per hour, why? She is overacting, nervous hence the fast talking. Maybe I am wrong as I have not seen her in any other TV drama but even so she is sapping the enjoyment out of this series. I have just read something that is depressing in that she is in all 10 episodes of the first series. Dear God, if there is a second series let there be a new story they are following away from this odd law firm.

Great series (1) great locations, convincing acting good storyline, I can imagine it being like this after a deadly outbreak, everyone fending for themselves, and a few who survive, are doing it by cooperation with others. At times shocking, sad, violent and sometimes funny, but most of the time you are kept on the edge of your seat and it feels like you are actually there with them, struggling to survive.

I watched episodes 1 through 8 of series 1, I really hope I manage to see series 2. I feel there is a lot of good stuff to come out of Russia, unfortunately as usual the people are the innocents in real life, the leaders are ruining the lives of the people.

What's happened to the Blacklist this season, Keanes gone and it's imploded, this most recent episode is the most depressing so far, the new team member cannot act, deadpan, slow delivery of her lines, to be honest she's painful to watch and listen to. Are they just ticking off boxes or are they genuinely planning ahead for this series? If they are they need to come up to speed soon. Even Spaders presence cannot save this series for much longer, we want to see Blacklist criminals, we don't want to go into boring ex team members history and childhood issues for Godsake, it's about exciting and interesting as watching paint dry.
