James Spader in The Blacklist (2013)

Review by ratkove

Pilot

The Blacklist

6/10

Correcting some reviews

First of all about the episode. It's decent. Average. Just another crime show with a bit different plot. Now onto some reviews that were misinforming on some facts: 1. Ortodox church does forbid tattoos and that is a correct thing they did in the show. A reviewer said they don't and many Serbians have tattoos. Truth is not so many Serbians have tattoos and that doesn't mean that church doesn't forbid them. It does.Religion itself to be precise. 2. Zamani is not a Serbian last name. True. At least his name is Serbian. 3. Albanians are mostly muslim. Not true. Albanians are mostly Christian, both Catholic and Orthodox. Most of the Albanians that are muslim live outside Albania- in Serbia (Kosovo), Montenegro, Macedonia.

What is wrong in the show is the Serbian language. That is not Serbian at all. Most likely Russian or Ukrainian and that is a huge mistake for a show. A google translate would do a better job on showing you how to speak Serbian than whoever this show hired.

Average pilot, Average plot. Good acting. All in all just another crime show like any other.
