The Black List The Complete First Season DVD + Digital Ultraviolet version, Certificate 15. English, German languages; SUBTITLES English, German, Dutch, Hindi, Turkish. Aspect ratio 1.78:1. Sold at a great price & delivered by Amazon UK; new, shrink-wrapped, undamaged. Running since 2013, with Season 10 in production - despite a ratings plunge for season 9, due to an ill-judged move from its previous broadcast day. This is a hugely popular, well crafted high quality series; with interesting to intriguing stories and story arcs, fine scripts, including appropriate, and inappropriate, dry humour from super smart and immaculately dressed international criminal turned FBI informant, Raymond Redington (portrayed by James Spader, a pleasure to watch and listen to) - for example: whilst isolated, and tending to a badly wounded FBI agent colleague, Redington starts to remove his tie, and firmly states "I will not have it said about me, that I hold this tie above saving a human life!", then applying it as a turniquete! Good action choreography; violence can be strong, and bloody at times, as Redington is ruthless about protecting himself, his unknowing daughter, business network, his people, settling old scores - using regular, and unusual, means. The series also has a fine selection of songs, which reminded me of the use of quality music in the Miami Vice TV series, and the first season of Hunter, with Fred Dryer, - intact in the Region 2 German & English languages DVD release(See my review) but removed from Region 1 releases. The songs, and singers/groups, the majority of which I have never heard, or heard of, are appropriate and complement the series; but the ones I knew, so far, include "The Man Comes"(Redington), by Johnny Cash; a version of "Jolene"; and "Radar Love", by Golden Earring - which had attracted my attention, during season 5/6, as the Mrs liked the series long before me (watching late night marathons, while I slept) and I became hooked, during season 6, when it was given a successful, 3 episodes, run on weekday mornings, resulting in it going back to episode 1 - with chunky advertising slots, which I am pleased about, as it indicates it's continuing success. Quality guest stars, in this season 1, include Alan Alda, and Tom Noonan - as The Stewmaker! Highly recommended.
