The Blacklist ended its 10-season run on NBC on Thursday with James Spader’s Raymond Reddington successfully eluding the authorities for good.

The series finale began with Reddington on the lam, with the Strike Force team and the vengeful Congressman Arthur Hudson trying to locate the elusive criminal turned FBI informant. Reddington eventually came face-to-face with Hudson and shot him dead after the congressman put a bullet in Reddington’s bodyguard-turned-agent Dembe Zuma. Reddington managed to get Dembe to a nursing home for treatment before continuing his quest to flee the country.

Reddington eventually landed in Spain, where he made one final call to his granddaughter Agnes and checked in on Dembe. The Strike Team continued to remain one step behind Reddington, whose last moments were spent on a scenic walkabout in the countryside. He came face-to-face with a drooling bull, who charged toward him and killed him.

The series finale was met with mixed reactions from fans. Some viewers were disappointed that Reddington was killed off, while others felt that it was a fitting end to his character arc. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to like the ending is a matter of personal preference.

Despite the mixed reactions, there is no doubt that The Blacklist was a successful series. It ran for 10 seasons and was consistently one of NBC’s most popular shows. The series was also praised for its complex characters and well-crafted storylines.

The Blacklist will be missed by many fans, but it will leave behind a legacy as one of the most popular and critically acclaimed dramas of the 2010s.
