17 Shows To Binge-Watch Before They Return This Fall
12. The Blacklist
This crime drama stars James Spader as Raymond Reddington, aka Red and one of the FBIs most wanted criminals, who surprises everyone by turning himself in. He promises a list of dangerous criminals in return for immunity, with the catch that he will only work with rookie agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone).
It was a bit of a breakout hit in its first season, leading to a back-nine order and then eventually a second run, and now its third will air from September 24 on NBC, with the series shown on Sky Living in the UK.
Its a procedural full of twists and turns, but the show really rests itself on the shoulders of Spader. So far hes been able to carry it, and doesnt look like buckling anytime soon. His vocal talents alone - displayed in Avengers: Age of Ultron earlier this year - are worthy of tuning in for.
