The Blacklist (TV Series) The Troll Farmer (No. 38): Pt. 3 (2023) User Reviews

The Real Red

[Joke-box · 10/10 · 24 April 2023]

This episode was everything the Blacklist stands for. One of the storylines came to an end. We got to see the real Reddington and the way he usually does the things. The Taskforce simply could not comprehend anything that was happening in real time. Every actor involved was tricked by Reddington including us: the audience.

Raymond's acting is soo soothing. Now that the show is getting to an end, an episode like this is exactly what we needed to remind us of the greatness we have been a part of.

I do not like the storylines occuring within the task force, and I have always said it, and I will say it again; the only storyline that matters is that of Red.

A perfect episode. Every last detail of it.

Back to strength

I have barely written any reviews for a long time, but this episode is easily the best we had in the last 4 seasons. First, it starts with a great buildup in different acts: the Troll Farmer's transport and escape, the explanation of the first twist, the planning process from both parties and then the climax that is the final twist.

With a minimum budget (there's barely real action, various flashbacks and almost everything is set in the same decor - although we're made to believe they're two identical but different locations), the creators have made one of the most mindblowing episodes of the show that contains intriguing dialogue, great tension and unexpected yet believable twists.

It ends the Wujing arc which was mildly interesting but never able to keep going for the entire season. In doing so, this episode introduces a new conflict between Red and law enforcement that may mean the end of the show and it's gonna be interesting to see it all unfold.

I would not say the episode is perfect. In the end things are all explained a bit too much as if we, the audience, are stupid, and it all requires some suspension of disbelief. However, it's one of the best episodes this show has produced in a long time and gives me some hope that we're in for a good ride to the end of this season (and the series in general).

9.5/10.

Mind blowing episode

Mind blowing episode !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<3

It is clearly one of the very best episodes I've seen in years , every piece is worth watching and it incredibly perfect , Now i can say that this season will be better than the last four or five seasons, and

I am so excited to know who is reddington and i am excited about the future of the relationship between the task force and reddington.

This episode gave me an injection of adrenaline. I was drowsy, but now the drowsiness has gone and I am excited about what is to come. The twist in the episode are a figment of the imagination.

Give me your opinions , friends.

This is what we have been missing!

After two or three, maybe four seasons of mainly dross, with Agent Keen moaning, sobbing and whinging consistently that she wanted to know the truth, boring us all to tears. Also being the expert FBI Profiler that she was, couldn't identify even the slightest danger for her and her daughter from a 'new' neighbour who just so happened to be a 'Russki agent', this episode reminds us, and proves beyond all doubt, that we didn't need her (Agent Keene/Megan Boone) at all and is exactly what we have been missing for so long. Here we have excellent script writing, some visual trickery, Red at his best with all his usual subterfuge, and at the end showing his cold calculating methods and brutal ways. An excellent episode.

Post Office Replica

[ZegMaarJus · 9/10 · 16 July 2023]

This Episode begins with Red, he prepares his team for a new mission. The Troll Farmer gets transported, Dembe and Ressler are with him. Ressler wants to know from The Troll Farmer where Wujing is. The Troll Farmer won't say anything about Wujing. The Troll Farmer escaped out of the interrogation room. It was part of the plan to let The Troll Farmer escape. Red build another post office, The Troll Farmer escaped out of that office and not the real office. The Troll Farmer tells Wujing where the secret post office is. Wujing entered the post office. Red shot Wujing to death. Red also shot Zhang Wei to death. Sven chose to join Red his team. Amazing Episode of The Blacklist Season 10, what a shocking Episode. Red killed Wujing, who will be his new enemy?

Flim Flam Man

[Hitchcoc · 10/10 · 19 February 2024]

This is a nicely set up episode. The Wujing thing had run its course. Reddington actually reproduces and entire building in order fake out his opponents. All the player are in on it (not) and all witness what a real con-man can do given the chance. I was surprised with the east Red is able to compromise these guys. But the second half is vintage Raymond as he not only solve the problem but becomes the problem himself. He is back in absolute control--perhaps the most powerful figure in the entire world. What does he hope to do with this contraption as he moves to new heights. Is it all about power, pure and simple? We will see! We will see!

Really - an ending under expectations.

[nickzapapp · 7/10 · 24 April 2023]

Wujing vs Reddington was such a great concept. Its a shame it ended like this, and from this episode there is no indication that there will be more blacklisters coming after Red. It seems no more blacklisters will return, and I would have preferred if someone filled Wujing's shoes.

The idea of a replica post office seems cool in theory but I would have seriously preferred them to literally attack and have shooting and fighting for lives - rather than the whole replica and letting chang escape which seems repetitive. Also getting sick of Red with his same games and tricks somehow always on top.
