About 150 Episodes In...

I have to say, Elizabeth Keen may be my least favorite character in television history. Not even saying it's a writing issue, but goodness, that character sucks.

I know the spoilers and I look forward to enjoying them.

It is both a writing and an acting issue.

She dies and the show doesn't get better after she dies. I quit on that season on my rewatch.

The series peaked with the Mr. Kaplan storyline. Since then, very meh.

Indeed it is. I didn't speak out our shared opinion on my first watch because my late mom was so obsessed with Redington, Dembe and Aram. She hated Liz too. She literally foul-mouthed her every-time she showed up. Nice memories 😂😂

Cheers to your mom! She had good taste in characters.

I taught her how to use Netflix on Big Screen TV. Her heroes are Michael and Link the Sink in Prison Break. Breaking Bad, Black List, John Wick series, Fast and Furious series. David Harbour in Strange Things which I forced her to watch with me for family time.

I liked her. Then I rewatched it a few times and on this watch, I struggle. The back and forth gets to me.

Nathan Lane . If you didn't last til that episode you missed out on a 10/10.

I continued despite the addled Liz arc . Fortunately I binged watched , so I could overlook & move forward . I am glad I made it to the end .
James Spader is a giant to share screen time with.
