SERIES RETURN: After the brief hiatus that began before Christmas, with Red (James Spader) escaping from both his box and his handlers and enemies, the devious manipulator is back. But where?

So far this season, the performances, not the plot twists and turns, have made The Blacklist worth keeping track of – but these last stories of the season will be a better indication of where the show is going, and whether it’s worth following.
