Turned it off halfway through. Love Spader. Too much of a Hannibal Lecter/Clarice vibe

between Reddington and Elizabeth Keen. It may well be our loss but we've decided to go with the Toni Collete/Dylan McDermott vehicle, Hostages, on directly opposite it. Watched both, they both had major plausibility flaws, but liked the vibe of Hostages better.
The minor networks' "super" dramas, i.e., Breaking Bad, Homeland, The Killing, Top of the Lake, Broadchurch, Justified, Boredwalk Empire, Walking Dead, Downton Abbey, even Mad Men and The Amerikans, etc., have ruined most of the ratings driven highly promoted major network dramas for us.
We try to pick up one new drama/year to follow. This year's may well be Frank Darabont's Mob City premiering in December on TNT.

I got that Hannibal Lecter vibe too - violinist3 16:50:37 09/24/13 (0)
I'll watch a couple episodes to see if the excitement keeps up. I dumped "Under The Dome" after the third one. Gotta give BL a chance at least.
Never watched Sleepy Hollow...I'm starting to watch the pilot on Hulu now.

ditto but I will not watch either Hostages or Blacklist but instead like Sleepy Hollow silly as that sounds... - PhilJ 14:19:28 09/24/13 (3)
good escapism with decent writing

  I'm sure Mrs. Nasty will be thrilled. Sleepy Hollow looks "dark", might have to watch it as I'm a fan of dark drama. Sopeaking of, The Bridge didn't suck this year. Very complicated and a continually (it seems) developing plot, but so far there's been more than adequate payoff for time invested and some very good acting and somewhat memorable characters.

  - Agreed about The Bridge... - musetap 21:32:58 09/24/13 (0)
    been very rewarding and there are enough interesting twists and turns that it may have legs.
    
    Even Demian Bichir's hoarse bedroom voice vibe gets tolerable after a while - and I like him
    as an actor and find his character in the show to be intriguing.
    
    Ted Levine has been excellent.

  - have not seen The Bridge however, regarding Sleepy Hollow, it is dark, the headless horseman is the devil! - PhilJ 16:26:05 09/24/13 (0)
    also the dialogue is fairly smart and the characters have some depth
    
    fwiw they are replaying the 2nd episode Fri or Sat
