When I started watching The Blacklist, I never thought I would make it to the second season. And boom, because of Raymond Reddington I watched every single episode of that series. I love the series and I love James Spader's acting.
Dembe Zuma isn't Raymond Reddington 'puppet' as the narrator put it, he is his partner in crime. Most trusted friend, they would both literally die for each other.
@@scorpiosq2963 Omgosh Alan Shore was amazing. James & William Shatner were great together. When AS had to appear in court those were written very well. I see Alan in Red sometimes.
Remember when Dembe was almost shot in the head (by one of the craziest Blacklisters ever - one that had shot an Asian girl - part of Red's entourage - that we thought might be a regular character) as an incentive to force Reddington to come out of that impenetrable box (he did come out and saved Dembe's life) very early in the series?
Love Dembe's character. He bring some type of peace in the relationship towards Red He's calm and wants to do the right thing even in that type of life style they lead. I always go back and watch..
James Spader is an amazingly actor. All young actors have to learn from him. An incredible talented person. One line from him makes an entire episode great
the relationship between raymond and dembe is something that we never saw any series or movies. Very very brilliant idea and cought a lot of attention from the beginning.
For me, there is never enough Blacklist! Raymond and Dembe are my favorites....loyalty is number one in my personal world, so their relationship resonates with me.
I ran into Ryan Eggold in Belize and went all Tom Keen fangirl on him. He wasn't a jerk but you could tell being recognized was the last thing he wanted to deal with.
I've found great entertainment in just treating celebrities like regular people. I ran into the members of Ugly Kid Joe at the peak of their fame in a hotel hallway after a concert where they opened for Def Leppard. I just said, "Hi guys! Great show!", and kept going. Another time, I watched Kelsey Grammer perform in MacBeth in Boston. After the show, he walked out of an alley from backstage, presumably headed for his hotel. He was wearing a ballcap pulled down and long coat. He was trying to get out without a hassle, which I could appreciate. As he got close, he made eye contact. I just gave him a grin and a nod. He grinned back and passed by. It was basically a private joke between us. The coolest celebrity I met was James Tolken. I played against him in a 9-ball tournament in Plattsburgh, NY when I was in college. He insisted that I call him Jimmy, and we joked through the whole game. (He won)
Dembe Zuma and Red are the best. Dembe is an example of a person with values, honour and loyalty. Never take him off the show. I wouldn't see anymore episodes.
Dembe is my second favorite character in the show after raymond, these two make the show complete, i cried so hard in this episode when he decided to leave raymond but then when he shot hannah i never was that happy in my life ❤️.
At first I didn't think much of Dembe because he was kind of in the background compared to other characters. But after the Finale of season 1 where he was held at gunpoint and especially after raymond told that guy in the mambosa cartel episode about how he met Dembe, I became so attached to him. He and Red just belong to each other.
I was devastated when Baz demised (no thanks to you Kate). If Dembe is Red right hand, Baz is his left hand. Baz character doesn't have any back story but the show has showed that Baz was one of Red trusted security team (as he was entrusted to watch over Lizzy). Baz real name is Bazzel Baz and he is a former CIA Intelligence Special Operations Group Officer, a Citadel graduate, recipient of the Intelligence Commendation Medal and a former counter-terrorism officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. I like his quiet presence and how dependable he was in time of war/crisis.
same here. the tasks became too personal...too many collateral damage just to save her and her child...as if the others did not have families. tired of her character and tom too....so glad she died but what she is alived again. like mr kaplan
same. her character is so frustrating. Liz ruins every one's plan. I still can't forgive her for reporting NYPD about Reddington that got him sentenced to death and almost died. She also almost ruin Dembe and Reddington's relationship. The show is all about protecting her since the beginning and i'm not liking it anymore. I thought they were over that but here we are, season 8 is almost out.
James Spader’s acting is just wholistic. From arrogance to wit to badass to humor and sarcasm you can’t afford not to laugh at, no one could’ve done it better 👌🏾👌🏾
Love the show! Probably the best one I've watched in a long time. I love all the characters and they play them so well. I will be sad when it is over. Totally HOOKED!!!!
I'm not much of a TV watcher & had never even heard of this show until a few weeks ago. I'm almost through season 2 and totally hooked. James Spader is a genius in the role of Reddington.
I think all of the characters in the show are winners, even the villains. We make sure we record every episode just in case we can't watch it at the regular time. Hate to see "Liz" go. She is such a pretty young lady. ABSOLUTELY fun to watch all the twists and turns. Bravo people!
All of these people are really talented especially James Spader, like his character is different from others and the fact that Raymond sometimes his friends & Colleagues can betray him, On the other hand i really learned that nobody can be trusted in life.
Is what show is Redmond reddington in now? Hope there is one or will be one soon... I've never enjoyed a Character like he plays in Blacklist.They were all good but no comparison to HIM!!!!
The role of Elizabeth always pisses me off and its unsteady! When u think of Red he is always himself and true! Trustfull to himself and to his loved ones!
Yh like all he has done is save her and protect her but she is always thinking the worst I hated Tom too he kept searching for things when they got the happiness they wanted. I stopped watching it because of that
@@lilykuntour2647 I get frustrated with her too but I would never stop watching because I need my Reddington /Dembe fix... I just skim over her and anyone she talks to that I don't like.
Aisha Ismail yes, in an interview he said he wanted to be an actor, at 17 he decided to come to NY and chase his dream or land his goal. He comes from a very educated family, both parents were teacher and college instructor, to be an actor he stated he did not need to study further, he just self studied acting and separately educated himself by reading heavily over the years, many of those lines he recites and expresses beautifully are his own lines, well read and well enjoyed intellectual west village NYC life.
at first, it was like okay this different so I continued then I got hooked on straight away in like the first 3ep of s1 my favourite actors in this show have to be 1 red 2 dembe 3 aram (love his personality), i was just watching some of reds interviews and its like he's not even acting in blacklist.
Love james spader from pretty in pink and white palace and love him now from blacklist. He is an amazing and passionate actor he made you believed in his craft
Can anyone in real life be so true and dedicated to some one else the way Dembe dedicated him self to Red.. I doubt.. we only see those in tvshos and movie...
All the actors and characters in the show the Blacklist are great but my favorite is James Spader’s character, I have followed James’s career since his young acting days; he is a very gifted actor.

Im here waiting for the next season for the same reason, Spader is amazing.
@@agustinmoran9873 I only went as far as season 5.. could you perhaps share a link i could use to stream or download so i can catch up?
Yes, same here..
thats what made me watch +140 episodes
@@praizmontgomery8004 You could try Popcorn time that's where I watched the rest of the episodes.

Exactly ppl in real life wish that they had true loyalty to one another.
One of the few people on EARTH that Reddington would trust with his life with no hesitation.
They are family
I need a dembe 🧐
Indeed.
I spent my lockdown watching Blacklist from the beginning! It is such a great show, James Spader is such a good actor.
@@scorpiosq2963 Omgosh Alan Shore was amazing. James & William Shatner were great together. When AS had to appear in court those were written very well. I see Alan in Red sometimes.
The only tv series i can never get enough of. Superb
I watch all the season during d lockdown too, great movie. I love Reddington
@@scorpiosq2963 LOVE 💘 Boston Legal!
Me too. I started watching it at the beginning of this year, and now I’m done. I’m waiting for season 9. But it won’t be the same without Megan boone
This is an epic show! James Spader is an incredible actor!
@@scorpiosq2963 loved him there 🥰
Agreed!
@@scorpiosq2963 never watched.
@@scorpiosq2963 was going to consider since you pointed it out.
@@scorpiosq2963 definitely try.
Red without Dembe, there’s no show!
Remember when Dembe was almost shot in the head (by one of the craziest Blacklisters ever - one that had shot an Asian girl - part of Red's entourage - that we thought might be a regular character) as an incentive to force Reddington to come out of that impenetrable box (he did come out and saved Dembe's life) very early in the series?
2Evan right! That scenery was crazy. For a second I thought we were losing him lol. But man, that blacklister I would say was the craziest of all.
True dat.
Love Dembe's character. He bring some type of peace in the relationship towards Red He's calm and wants to do the right thing even in that type of life style they lead. I always go back and watch..
@@2Evan I remember that and it was one of my favorite moments btwn Red and Dembe.
You forgot Aram
And Mr Kaplan.
Cooper too
Aram is too dramatic but has some very funny (nerdy moments) that are hilarious!
He is single..according to his IG page..
Thank you
Okay, but whose favourite character is Aram? He’s just so wholesome in the show.
meeee, i mean hes the most unproblematic dude, multilingual, quirky AND just has a good vibe yk
Me! I love Aram!
He's an epic gamer
Aram is such a good guy 🥰
I love Aram, he is the best
Did he call Dembé Red’s puppet? smh 🤦🏾♂️ second most intriguing character besides red.
Dembe is a legend!
James Spader is an amazingly actor. All young actors have to learn from him. An incredible talented person. One line from him makes an entire episode great

I ran into Ryan Eggold in Belize and went all Tom Keen fangirl on him. He wasn't a jerk but you could tell being recognized was the last thing he wanted to deal with.
Well he was on holidays and he probably had to deal with other fans interrupting him the entire day. It would get exhausting.
Every now and again you meet an actor who's purely about the acting part and no the whole rich&famous package, I guess he's that.

Dembe Zuma and Red are the best. Dembe is an example of a person with values, honour and loyalty. Never take him off the show. I wouldn't see anymore episodes.
James Spader is a genius creature blessed with a superb charisma...as Redingdon, he is a good guy in a bad guys world..

I love James Spader, what an amazing actor👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Loved james spader in the t.v shows the practice and boston legal. He is like a fine wine, gets better with age.
He was so nice when we met him years ago and he has the coolest sounding voice IMO

I don't like the character Liz, but Megan Boone is gorgeous.

True,love the actress,hated the character.

She is not gorgeous, she is average
Come on James Spader sounds like he has multiple degrees
I've never hated any actors/actresses on that show from s1 until s7. Favorite show ever & this is only show I'm always looking for the next season.
James Spader’s acting is just wholistic. From arrogance to wit to badass to humor and sarcasm you can’t afford not to laugh at, no one could’ve done it better 👌🏾👌🏾
Love James Spader in all his immense originality and very funny sense of humor besides being a great actor. Loved him in Secretary 😍

I love James Spader. Ryan's eyes are so beautiful.
The only character I dislike, almost from the start, is Elizabeth Keen, swaying from left to right all the f*cking time
Omg tell me about it! Esp when her mom is now in it argh she pisses me off how easily she changes her mind phew haha
Yeah....I mean someone is supporting me like Raymond Reddington...giving his life to me....I would have just handed Katarina Rostova then n there

@@marthanjoki3837 why?

I think,Dembe is my favourite character and actor as well. 💜
Reddington makes the show but the whole cast are incredible🙏🏻

He should win an Oscar for his role in the blacklist …..fantastic acting
I’m late just started on season four lol sleeping at work because I’m up all night Bench watching 😂😂😂😂
Dembe and Redington are my favorite
They forgot that Diego was in Stargate SG-1! And also Falling Skies.
Mozhan was one of my favourite characters.. such a pity she left. I hope to see more of her in other movies.
Great show, great cast!
