So Who Watches The Blacklist?

I might have binge-watched the series, indoctrinating Megan into it, and--cough--gotten slightly over the top ga ga about it. I'm sure it'll pass... you know, after the mid-season closer next Thursday when I'm in withdrawal, sniffling and clawing the skin off my flesh... if I'm indeed alone in my momentary hyped-up obsession.

Anybody? Does anyone enjoy the complexity of characters? James Spader? Good acting? Two actors of semitic descent; three actors of African descent (one actually African, and Red's confident/bodyguard/seriously hot-looking loyal near-silent ex-prostitute Red saved from the child sex trade--not that they incorporate tropes one could even vaguely call fannish). The fact that the girliest character on the show is the palest of the white men? Kick-ass women characters everywhere. Twisted meta-plot. Fannish tropes.

Red, Liz and Tom Keene. Donald Ressler. Novabi, Aram, women who kick ass and men who can't regularly fail the Bechdel test? Flaws too, and I don't care at all? Passion, devotion, betrayal, forgiveness; re-devotion, more passion, reduced risk of betrayal and increased risk of forgiveness--over and over again, reshaping every character. We are LOVING it.

Anybody else?
