Raymond "Red" Reddington, a former U.S. Naval Intelligence officer who had disappeared twenty years earlier to become one of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, surrenders himself to FBI Assistant Director Harold Cooper at the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C. Taken to an FBI "black site," Reddington claims he wishes to help the FBI track down and apprehend the criminals and terrorists he spent the last twenty years associating with: individuals that are so dangerous and devious that the United States government is unaware of their very existence.

I would definitely give it a 9, and maybe even a 10. The series is great in many ways. Interesting idea, cool acting. But there is a storyline and it is so slow. The viewer does not learn the secrets for 7-8 seasons. And the main characters act stupid when it comes to these secrets… Translated to English

Watched
The first half of the season was still quite good. Series that are not related to spies and politics are quite interesting. But the relationship between the main characters in the series is worse than in the Mexican or Brazilian series. Not knowing about the connection between the protagonist and heroine was better. And she is connected with the KGB! Translated to English
