New crime drama The Blacklist hit UK screens last Friday on Sky Living and there has been nothing but praise towards it's first two episodes amongst viewers and critics. Twitter was rife with people stating that it was one of the best pilots they've seen, whilst the ratings were going through the roof beating Homeland in the same week.
The shows do bare many similarities in style. Both are serious. Both tackle the idea of crimes on a big scale. Whilst Homeland circles around the CIA, The Blacklist is all about the FBI, both agencies fighting criminals, but two very different kinds. Whilst the former is based in global politics, the latter concentrates more on individual villains.
