  • now I don’t think I could enjoy certain political aspects of the story where the americans (the government, not the people) are the good guys…

    As an American, I feel you on this.

    All I can say is that Conviction is a personal story for Sam, and in that one there’s a terrorist threat, but it’s domestic terrorists.

    In Blacklist, the Engineers seem to be global and evidence points to the Middle East, but it’s a misdirect. And while 4th Echelon is working to stop the attacks, I don’t think the American government is painted in a good light in that one either (the stated goal of the Engineers is to get US troops out of other sovereign nations and bring them home). It’s actually feels like a relevant and nuanced plot in the modern day.
