A new FBI profiler, Elizabeth Keen, has her entire life uprooted when a mysterious criminal, Raymond Reddington, who has eluded capture for decades, turns himself in and insists on speaking only to her.
Once you've turned the lead into a semi-villain you start running out of plot threads. Holding it together are good performances, including James Spade who seems to be so at ease by now as Red.
This premiere felt like the beginning of the end. The powers that be appear to be running out of ideas, and after dropping hints about the series' mythology over the past couple of seasons, it's definitely time for some answers instead of more questions.
