The BLACKLIST | Reader Evaluations
“This is a very, very ambitious script covering lots of time and space, with interlocking narratives holding together in a complex way…almost like a very complex novel where the past and present will shed light on the present…”
“This is a woman-centric narrative that easily passes the Bechdel test…it’s refreshing to see that we don’t need a male boss or authority figure to help them along.”
