The Endgame

For those of you who think that this is a female "Blacklist" you're wrong. Elena Federova is captured and brought to a black site for questioning. In the meantime seven different banks are robbed by military precision motives unknown. Ms. Federova has begun her game of cat and mouse. It seems every scenario. Results into wrong doings by one of "the good guys" are brought to light thus taking out another criminal. What Ms. Federova endgame is who knows.

Her F. B. I. Counterpart. Val Turner seems to have Federova's respect. Turner herself wants to know what is what and despite some of her superiors misgivings she seems to be Federova's "Elizabeth Keene" to Raymond Redington. What would be interesting would be a Blacklist Endgame crossover..

While the similarity with The Blacklist cannot be understated or even unwarranted. I have to say Morena Baccarin's presence on screen is worth the 2-4 episodes worth of rope I'm willing to give this show.

Let's see where it goes and right now I cannot wait to hear another story from Elena Federova.

I m enjoying this so far. Is it great, no, but not as bad as so many others. Many keep comparing this to The Blacklist, but I don't really see this. For some reason, I keep thinking about The Following when I watch this show. She is charismatic like the cult leader, clever and seems to have her followers. I'm looking forward to seeing where this show goes.

I'm not sure why the low reviews that seem to be based on similarity to The Blacklist. I see the comparison but I thought this was different and intriguing. Great cast, pro production, potentially exciting story... and all stories are derivative if you've seen a similar idea, so no points off for that. Morena is always excellent but the role of the queen really seems to fit her. I'm in.

It's fairly outlandish and I wasn't sure where it was going the first few episodes - but by halfway I was invested. By the end it won me over and I think it's fairly good. It's very good for these types of shows (like the Blacklist and the like). The two leads have very good chemistry - I think it's better than the leads on the Blacklist. All of the actors won me over by the end of the season - it's very well cast. I give it a 9 because I think it's very good for the type of show it is - it's not a great quality show compared with the best - by any means.
