The Blacklist: Anne (2021)
Season 8, Episode 13
10/10
James Spader's acting is inspired.
23 April 2021
It seems that as Blacklist winds down, James Spader is drawing from a well for his inspired acting in the series. I was really amazed by his acting in episode 6 of this season, but this episode is the best so far this season and could easily be the best of the the entire series. The James Spader I saw in this episode was the same that I saw.20 to 25 years ago. He was passionate and inspired and fun and joyful and fearful and determined and angry and heart felt sad in this episode. He conveyed through his every action, body position and facial feature these reactions to the audience. The script did help bring this about, but I have watched a lot of Spader over the decades that this was something very special. I really liked what I saw and it made me feel young again. I guess that is what love does to people. I wish I had the words to describe what this episode Idid for me. He is an amazing actor.

The writing and direction and sound mixing were as top notch as I have grown to expect from The Blacklist, but this was a great view. I do not know how Spader is going to top this, but I am not going to sell him short. I now want to see how he brings his acting skills all to the very end. This was a 10 out of 10 episode.
