Maybe it's the old sentimalist in me, but after 10 seasons, preserving through some of the worst writing and character arcs I've ever seen, to see Reddington and Harold in this season emerge as two of the most watchable characters on TV.
Their exchange at the end of this episode encapsulates everything that this show has become. It's worth tolerating the 'caper of the week' and ridiculous support cast, to spend more time with these two. They really are two great actors who have evolved their characters to a place where they'll be genuinely missed once they're gone.
I only wish the writers had the confidence to base the show around these two and give them more screen time rather than the dross that is the rest of the show.
Two beacons of light in the darkness of a show that should otherwise have closed the curtains 4 or 5 seasons ago!
