They never flat out say here’s who red really is and have some big reveal that puts all the pieces in place for you. You have to infer things from watching the show. After Liz dies, the next season skips ahead two years if I remember correctly so everyone is still adjusting to her absence but it’s not all out crying and carrying on. In my opinion the shows a 5 out of 10. I feel like they never really knew who reddington was and made it up as they went along.

Ooof…. ^{Spoiler^} Kaplan was shot, not dead 😎 Tried to destroy Red, failed, died, red went broke, grew his empire again, just to be ratted to the police by keen herself to investigate who he is Goes to trail Escapes death, Until one point liz her so called mom comes and tries to get raymond Raymond kills her in the end. Making liz go rouge and try to destroy red. Working with the guy who had been hunting her mom. Red tells the truth to liz Liz died Red gone for 2 years. Dembe became FBI agent. And yeah thats all i want to share

I had three major phases where I felt that I won't continue watching Blacklist; Mr.Kaplan suicides, Tom Keen is killed and Liz is killed. So, I don't blame you for not seeing :D

I lost interest after Tom was killed.

Yes and yes. Red is Katarina Rostova and she gave up her whole life for nothing since Liz got herself killed.

Who was the fake Katrina? And why was red(real Katrina) chasing her?

I haven't been able to watch for awhile now, but i generally like to think Red is Liz's father like how they depicted shortly before Liz died.

I've decided, since I'm never going to watch any of season 9 or 10, that the outcome I like best is Red is former naval officer Raymond Reddington

I strongly believe he is Katarina. Unfortunately, much of the stuff I'd talk about would be spoilers for you.

Good move. I watched for nine years until they killed off Liz. Big waste of time.

James Spader, star of The Blacklist

No we have no idea who he is. There are some hints to him maybe being Liz's mom but the show ends without confirmation of anything.

Wow. So the series ended without definitive answers? Do you mind sharing what was revealed? For reference, my last frame of reference was Mr. Kaplan.

I really tried to finish it, could only make it half way through season 10 and skipped to the last 2 episodes just yesterday. Stayed with it for Spader. Some of the blacklisters are fascinating though. Makes you wonder how much life imitates art.
