Go!, the six-episode Netflix series, is the story of an underdog who has no clue about the kind of talent he has and what it could do for him. The series makes a promising start, and we get to witness the two different worlds people occupy in South Africa. Often, when tourism advertisements are created, only the glossy side of a country is shown, and for obvious reasons. And then there’s the areas that governments want to hide from public purview, but those places, the people living there, are also citizens of the country who do not deserve to live in such hardships. It is not their fault that they live in shabby neighborhoods that are not so aesthetic. They too want a life of privilege, but the capitalist setup just does not give them the means to change their destiny. In such situations, it becomes essential to capture...

Created by Kutlwano Ditsele and Thuli Zuma, Go! is the story of a child prodigy who was destined to set new records in short-distance sprinting. Siya’s brother, Shuffle, always knew that it was just a matter of time before Siya got spotted by somebody, and it changed his life forever. But before Siya could make his name on the track, something happened that changed his life forever. So, let’s find out what happened with Siya and what kind of mess he landed in after that.

Spoiler Alert

Why did Siya frame Mandla?

Siya, a young boy who came from a humble background, had an exceptional gift. Siya Gumede was called Bolt by his friends and loved ones for a reason: he was as fast as lightning. But little did he know that his talent would give him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change his fate. Siya had no plans of racing professionally,...

Season 1 of Blood Legacy ended on a cliffhanger, and though, as of now, there is no official announcement of season 2, I believe that the showrunners will come up with a second installment and give closure to its long list of characters. Khanyi got arrested at the end of season 1, as her own uncle framed her for the murder of her father. As far as Mandla was concerned, he had made some bad choices, and because of his greed to be the heir to the Ndlovu empire, he was stuck in a mess. So, let’s theorize what fate could have in store for the various members of the Ndlovu family and if they would be able to overcome the obstacles that came their way.

Spoiler Alert

Will Khanyi and Dumi end up together?

There was a communication gap in Khanyi and Akin’s marriage, and no matter how much they tried,...

Netflix is home to shows hailing from a variety of genres. It releases so many projects in any given year that it’s hard to keep track of everything that’s available on the streaming platform. But, based on what I have seen, Netflix has been really, really struggling with the family drama genre. And it’s a very specific kind of family drama where an intentional or unintentional crime exposes the fabric of a household or community. Towards the end of August, we got The Accident, which was about a close-knit group of families coming apart at the seams after several kids were killed when a bouncy castle became airborne. It was truly one of the most atrocious things I had ever watched. That was followed by The Perfect Couple, where a posh family came undone because of the illegal activities of its members. It seemed like all the...

Blood Legacy’s ending is centered around the resolution to the revelation that the deceased owner of Spear and former head of the Ndlovu family, Bhekisizwe, was murdered by his brother, Visu Ndlovu. Bhekisizwe was married to Madlamini, and they had three children: Mandla, Khanyi, and Siya. Mandla’s wife had died a long time ago, and he had two kids, Thuli and Zakhele. Khanyi was married to Akin Adesina, and they had two children, Amahle and Njabulo. Siya was married to Gabisile, and they had a son, Nido. Bhekisizwe was in his twilight years, and he was tired of being blackmailed by the A6 leaders, Liyana and Msizi Vesi, into letting Spear’s containers be used to ship illegal stuff like guns. So he started pushing back against their threats. Apart from dealing with these terrorists, Bhekisizwe had to choose his successor. Even though Mandla and Siya were the...

Bowen Yang, a familiar face on Saturday Night Live since 2019, has showcased his comedic talents through a variety of characters, from impersonating figures like George Santos and Truman Capote to crafting original personas. He even explored the dynamics of a “Straight Male Friend” in a 2023 sketch with Travis Kelce. But on March 2nd, Yang took a surprising turn, portraying a heterosexual version of himself in the SNL short, Bowen’s Straight.

Bowen Yang and Sydney Sweeney on SNL

The sketch revolves around Sydney Sweeney, who develops a crush on Yang, only to discover a shocking truth: he’s secretly straight. According to him, playing gay is simply a career move, while his true “modus operandi” is charming women. He even flaunts his “straightness” by making out with both Gina Gershon and Sweeney.

Matt Shakman’s upcoming Fantastic Four movie is all that people can talk about.

Actress Amandeep Sidhu, who is currently seen in the show ‘Saubhagyavati Bhava- Niyam aur Shartien Laagu’, shared that she won’t be able to celebrate Diwali with her family this time as she will be busy with the shoot of the show.

Actress Amandeep Sidhu, who is currently seen in the show ‘Saubhagyavati Bhava – Niyam aur Shartien Laagu’, shared her plans for Navratri festival, and said how she finds similarity between Goddess Durga’s personality and herself.

Bhopal, July 1 (Ians) The Asian Junior Champions Nikita Chand and Kirti continued their impressive run at the ongoing 6th youth women’s national boxing championship by registering comprehensive victories to enter the finals on the fifth day of the competition.

Going up against Khushi Singh of Madhya Pradesh in her semifinal bout, Nikita (60kg) of Uttarakhand was at the top of her game and secured a 5-0 win by unanimous decision. Utilising her agility and precision, she hardly gave her opponent any chances of making a comeback in the bout.

Kirti (81+) on the other hand, had to hardly break a sweat in her bout as she got the better of Jagruti Both from Maharashtra with her attacking approach after the referee stopped the contest (RSC) in the first round.

Actor Vineet Kumar Singh, best known for his roles in movies such as ‘Pittah’, ‘City of Gold’ and the ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, spoke on his role for his 2022 crime thriller movie ‘Siya’. Speaking on the takeaways from the film, which caused a change in his perspective, he said: “During my shooting for Siya, I have realised that following a rape, the procedure that is involved in the investigation or the reporting of the crime must be dealt very sensitively and delicately.”

“Because the victim and her family have already been through unfathomable trauma and soul-breaking pain. Also, the society, at large, should encourage the victim to fight for justice instead of looking down with pity or stigmatising the victim. These have been two very important lessons for me.”

Starring opposite Pooja Pandey in the hard-hitting crime drama that deals with the subject of rape and the fight for justice, he...

The broadcast day and time change give us two servings of The Blacklist in one night.

By now, everyone is aware that The Blacklist Season 10 will be airing at a new time and day.

The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 14 wrapped up Siya's storyline when her search for truth brought her square with her mother's past and what Meera had to do to keep her safe.

Spoilers for The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 15 and The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 16 tease trouble for the Task Force as Congressman Hudson launches his campaign against them.

There have been fewer Blacklist cases for the past few episodes, but that is bound to change as Raymond keeps his promise to Cooper and offers not one but four Blacklisters.

The deal with the Task Force was that they would keep operating in the shadows as long as they delivered results. And for the most part, they have.

Congressman...

Which blast from the past gave Siya all the information she needed to know?

On The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 14, Siya was on a mission to uncover the truth about her mother.

Meanwhile, the task force investigated the whereabouts of a missing newlywed.

Elsewhere, Red offered to help a powerful cartel leader after someone threatened his life.

Finally, there was a case resembling one from the Blacklist, and it was good.

Raymond continued his amends tour with Siya in tow on The Blacklist Season 10, Episode 14. Elsewhere, the team worked on a peculiar case involving brides and disappearing husbands.

The Congressman Hudson threat took a backseat at this hour, giving other storylines a chance to develop. That was a good decision because Hudson has been all bite and no bark. It was starting to get boring.

It became clear that Raymond was on an unburdening mission on The Blacklist Season 10, Episode 13, when he sold all his valuable items at a throwaway price. The next logical step was finding people in his life who meant something, and he had amends to make with them.

There were not many left, so the list was pretty thin.

8/7c Who Killed Our Father? (Lifetime)

When you lose the only family you have, it makes sense to go searching for the biological family that you never really met.

After taking a DNA test that reveals the identity of her father and sister,...

“The Nowhere Bride” Plot: The task force investigates the whereabouts of a missing newlywed; Red offers...

Settle in because Blacklisters are not coming as fast as we'd like.

The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 12 filled that gap by letting us in on how Dembe met Isabella and what his dedication to Raymond cost him over the years.

The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 13 also tried to fill that gap by revisiting Meera's past, showing a decision she made that cost a man his life.

Spoilers for The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 14 tease a slight deviation from the current pattern of revisiting the past as the Task Force investigates a certain missing person while Siya digs into her mother's past.

Even though it shouldn't have, discovering that Meera was not her biological mother upset Siya's worldview to a great extent.

In her books, that was something major for someone to hide. What else could she be hiding if she could hide something that big?

But sometimes, omission is necessary, especially to protect someone.

What did Siya learn about Meera's past?

The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 13 was all about answers as the youngster accompanied Red on a series of unusual tasks.

Meanwhile, Congressman Hudson attempted to persuade a powerful friend to join his crusade against The Task Force.

In doing so, it opened up old wounds about the past that had to be addressed.

In “The Nowhere Bride,” Reddington offers his assistance to a formidable cartel leader, further blurring the lines between his criminal connections and his involvement with the FBI task force.

Hey, "The Blacklist" fans. We're back in action ,tonight, to let you know that another new episode of The Blacklist is indeed headed your way next Sunday night, May 21, 2023. That's right, guys. This next, new episode will be the 13th one for The Blacklist's current season 10, and we've got some new spoiler scoops for it. The NBC people gave us an official press release for this new episode 13. So, we are going to certainly dive into it for this spoiler session. Let's get to it. First thing's first. There's an official title for this new episode 13 of The Blacklist season 10. The writers decided to name this one, "The Sicilian Error Of Color." It sounds like episode 13 will feature some very interesting, dramatic, intense and possible action-filled scenes as Siya gets some new intel about Meera. Congressman Hudson attempts a very significant move and more.

And the crusade continues.

The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 11 appeared like it would make some headway in resolving the show's biggest conflict but didn't make substantial strides towards that.

After appearing to champion the campaign against Raymond and the Task Force, Panabaker ultimately decided to let sleeping dogs lie.

We might never know whether that was because she felt like she owed Raymond something or because she was afraid of him, but that's irrelevant now.

Spoilers for The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 12 tease a Dembe-centric episode as someone from his past calls him, and he reflects on his past.

Dembe was never really the show's focus, and that much was clear.

But after the death or departure of multiple main characters, he became the next interesting thing, and the writers found a way to keep him around even when he wasn't associated with Red.

Not much is known about his history apart...

It's starting to look more like what we wanted to see.

A random robbery found Raymond in the thick of it as the Task Force struggled to get to him before someone else did on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 11.

Elsewhere, Siya discovered her biological relationship with Meera.

Senator Panabaker asked all the right questions but, in the end, fell into the bottomless pit of people Raymond had corrupted over the years.

There was so much expected of Panabaker, and while it looked like she was going to do the job everyone had failed to do over the years, it didn't amount to anything.

Panabaker was the most powerful person who knew the workings of the Task Force and had the power to do something about them.

Her announcement about dropping by the Post Office was enough to scare the team.

Ressler: What happens tomorrow when Panabaker turns us over to the DOJ?...

It was no secret that The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 10 was a filler episode.

After building up momentum throughout the first half of the season, the show delivered a superb episode on The Blacklist Season 10, Episode 9. It felt like a huge downgrade when we didn't get what we wanted.

That withstanding, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet, and maybe that episode was meant to be a bridge for something better.

Spoilers for The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 11 tease a "non-omelet" episode when Sen. Panabaker decides enough is enough.

This is what we had been waiting for.

Sen. Panabaker has been of the mind to end the task force more than once, but Harold had always found a way to convince her not to go through with it.

She had also decided to keep the Task Force's operation a secret because she was directly implicated in their...

NBC’s The Blacklist season 10 episode 11’s brief plot description teases that Red may have been taken hostage. Episode 11, “The Man in the Hat,” will air on Sunday, May 7, 2023 at 10pm Et/Pt.

The final season cast is led by James Spader as Raymond “Red” Reddington. Diego Klattenhoff stars as Donald Ressler, Hisham Tawfiq plays Dembe Zuma, Anya Banerjee is Siya Malik, and Harry Lennix stars as Harold Cooper.

“The Man in the Hat” Plot: When Red is identified as a possible hostage during a deli robbery in Philadelphia, Dembe and Ressler take action; back in D.C., Senator Panabaker assesses the task force’s interactions with Red, while Siya is delving further into her mother’s history.

The Season 10 Plot:

The final season will find Raymond Reddington confronting unparalleled danger. With Reddington’s...

Sometimes you hit a huge high such that any decline is a significant low.

We returned to our regular format on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 10, where Raymond offered a case, and the team worked to solve it.

There was expected to be a drop in the story's quality after a wild hour on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 9, but I didn't expect it to feel this disappointing.

With the show closing in on mideason, it stood to reason that they would keep the momentum they had been developing throughout the back half.

Raymond had made a very selfish play that was expected to have some consequences, but he appeared to come out of it unscathed.

Despite being visibly annoyed, Harold just rolled over and ate the scraps being offered, which is so not like him.

He should have offered some pushback unless he was confident that someone's life was in danger.

With many manhwa getting physical releases in America, manga readers have expanded to this brave new world of storytelling. The two share many similarities, with the isekai trope being popular in both Japan and Korea. However, one trope that has exploded in popularity with manhwa instead of manga is the returner trope. With hundreds of series focusing on a protagonist that returns to the past, the trope has gotten oversaturated. But this new series changes it all.

The returner trope sees a main character returning to some point in the past through magical means, often after dying. With this, the character is given the opportunity to change their future. The stories that use this trope vary widely, with some taking place in the present day such as Marry My Husband, while other popular series like My In-Laws Are Obsessed with Me take place in a medieval setting, like many reincarnation isekai anime.

Be careful not to underestimate your opponent!

This advice went both ways on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 8 as Wujing sought The Troll Farmer to help steal a cyber weapon.

While downplaying something might give one peace of mind, they should be careful not to minimize the problem so much that it appears nonexistant. Raymond chose that as his option. The consequences might be fatal.

The Troll Farmer's return was disappointing in a single way.

The mission he was enlisted for was quite interesting since it further gave Wujing an upper hand, which was exciting. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. No one makes them fall harder than Raymond.

Social media is scary and cyber warfare is even scarier. At any given moment, people are working behind the scenes to find solutions to nonexistent problems, thus creating a problem.

The government claimed they had developed HexRoot for protection against...

Wujing's efforts to find allies have been a hit or miss but mostly a hit.

He employed the gifts of The Freelancer on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 7 to try and find a provable connection between the task force and Raymond.

His hunt for potential allies has become a well-planned and calculated affair, going after the ones whom Raymond has hurt the most.

Typically, Raymond would offer up his enemies to the government to get them off the map, but when in a bind, he would sacrifice his allies too. And no one had a bigger cause to hate him for that than The Troll Farmer.

Spoilers for The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 8 tease his return as he seeks to help Wujing create chaos and get away with something.

When we were first introduced to The Troll Farmer, it was at the height of the hunt for Elizabeth Keene on the charges...

Wujing's ingenious plan might not be so ingenious after all.

In his pursuit to destroy Raymond, Wujing broke out a former blacklister on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 6 and employed her services to try and find the location of the post office.

Most of what happened was quite predictable, and it was what we thought would happen in our review of The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 5. A lot didn't come as a surprise save Vesco's untimely demise.

Wujing's plan to expose Raymond is multifaceted. It is not as easy as calling a conference of all criminals and telling them what he thinks he knows. He has to have it backed up by hard evidence.

He spent the hour trying to find the location of the Post Office so that he could extract the plea bargain the US government made with Raymond. Those documents are so top secret copies don't exist outside the Post Office.

The pace at which the show approaches the whole Wujing thing is unsatisfactory.

That said, The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 5 was shaping up to be disappointing until they introduced an interesting case, slightly nodded toward the only thing we are excited about, and pulled something out of Siya Malik.

The downfall or the supposed downfall of the almost unbeatable Raymond Redington has been a long time coming. The saying "you live by the sword, you die by the sword" has never been more applicable.

As he did on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 4, Raymond still claimed he had handled the Wujing side of issues, but it didn't seem like it. He might have had a plan, but it didn't seem big.

Wujing's plans became clear when he made his first move by revealing everything about Raymond to Robert. But that's not to say it was exactly a secret what his plan was.

That was one episode worth the honor of being the 200th.

Raymond continued his strategic plan to play offense on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 4. With the help of a former blacklister and ally, he accessed a fortune in cryptocurrency from a dead millionaire.

He also continued to wrestle with the outcome of his increasingly uncertain future, and what he considered the most was the possibility of death.

Raymond has lived long, been to many places, and met many people enough to make informed guesses about what might happen to him when whatever he has coming for him catches up with him.

He has seen enough people die and isn't deluded about his mortality.

And from all that he has seen, it has become clear to him that what happens in the last moment of your life is important. Having people you love close to you cannot be beaten by anything.

Vengeance is expensive!

The team learned of a high-stakes poker game on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 2, but nothing could have prepared them for the purpose of the game.

Raymond learned that Agnes was being bullied at school and made it his responsibility to ensure it didn't happen again, much to Cooper's protests.

But first, Siya Malik was welcomed to the team, and different people felt a certain way about it.

She made her feelings about Raymond known, which we had anticipated after meeting her on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 1.

Mr. Redington, we don't have to be friends with one another. Like my mother, I'm extremely capable. And I can liaise with you, work besides you, smile at your jokes. But this is a professional relationship to me. Nothing more.

The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 2

The Blacklist is back and harpooning mammals like the old days. The irreverent, quick witted, and unpredictable Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) pulls no punches in “The Whaler.” When Red “lives like he’s dying,” he not only orders four combo meals for a two-person lunch, he also lampoons friend and foe alike with his particular flair.

Let’s begin with his newest friend, Agent Siya Malik (Anya Banerjee). Now that Agent Malik has been debriefed and sworn-in, her first Task Force assignment kicks off with just a little kick from Red. Despite the lead-up undertone where Red so sweetly sings Siya’s praises, he greets her introductory words with a condescending: “Rehearsed that, have you?” No one can reset a relationship dynamic in four-short words quite like Raymond Reddington can.

Red is not satisfied with adjusting Siya’s attitude alone.

We kicked off our beloved show's tenth and final season on a high note.

Former victims of Raymond's infamous blacklist started to band together to figure out how to take him down on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 1.

Now down three members, the task force was looking to recruit two more members who saw the return of an unexpected relative of an Og member of the task force and a former associate of the Raymond.

The premise for the final season had been set towards the end of The Blacklist Season 9 after Marvin Gerard fed a list of people Raymond had helped put behind bars to Wujing.

We expected the season to deal with how Raymond would be looking to protect himself from this genuine threat, but when we met him, he wasn't as we had left him.

First, he had thrown all caution to the wind and appeared in public...

The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 1

It’s been a long, 8-month wait since the season 9 finale of The Blacklist aired on May 28, 2022, and fans have been counting down the days until the season 10 debut. NBC announced recently that this will be the ultimate season of the show, both in being its final season and in the threats Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) faces as an old foe, Wujing (Chin Han), begins a quest to join forces with all the criminals Red has wronged.

In episode 1 “The Night Owl” Red classifies Wujing as the “final weapon in the hand of Marvin Gerard (Fisher Stevens),” confidante, lawyer, and Bff-since-the-beginning of the Concierge of Crime. Marvin’s final act against Red in season 9 was a gift to Wujing—a list of criminals that Red and the Task Force worked together to put behind bars. This list is a...

We suppose The Blacklist has a number of surprises in store as it embarks on its 10th and final season — and Sunday’s premiere brought a particularly pleasant one.

Amir Arison — who left The Blacklist during last season’s finale, along with Laura Sohn as Alina Park — made a brief (but still-delightful) return as Aram Mojtabai in the episode’s opening scene. As Aram left the Metropolitan Museum of Art and returned to his bike, looking more relaxed than he has in years, he was surprised to spot Red across the street, looking worse than he has in years: bearded,...

Meera Malik's daughter Siya Malik introduces herself to the task force in a new clip from The Blacklist season 10. CIA agent Meera Malik (Parminder Nagra) was a member of the secret task force that has been working closely with Raymond Reddington (James Spader) since season 1. Meera was killed in the season 1 finale by one of the men working for Milos Kirchoff, a formidable Blacklister known as Berlin. Now as The Blacklist enters season 10, Meera's daughter Siya Malik (Anya Banerjee) joins the show as an MI6 operative who is expected to work with the task force.

In a new clip from TV Insider, Siya can be seen meeting task force and FBI agents Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) and Dembe Zuma (Hisham Tawfiq). Ressler and Dembe do not seek out Siya knowing that she is Meera's daughter. When Ressler says that FBI Assistant Director Harold Cooper (Harry Lennix) is the agent...

When the 10th and final season NBC’s venerable spy drama The Blacklist premieres on Sunday, February 26, Raymond Reddington (James Spader) has gone missing and the FBI’s Special Task Force is down by two other agents. (Amir Arison’s and Laura Sohn’s characters exited in last season’s finale.) Who will fill the gap? Enter Siya Malik. Played by Anya Banerjee, Siya is an operative with Britain’s MI6 and the daughter of CIA agent Meera Malik (Parminder Nagra), who was murdered in Season 1, on an operation with Donald Ressler, Diego Klattenhoff. TV Insider has the exclusive first look at Banerjee’s first scene in The Blacklist Season 10 premiere. As seen in Siya’s introduction above, the character is whip-smart and already knows more top-secret intel than the feds are comfortable with, all thanks to her mother’s firsthand experience. “Siya is super quick-witted, funny, and skilled,” says Banerjee,...

It's surreal that this is the beginning of the end.

After nine seasons and over two hundred blacklist cases, we are preparing for one final season to bring the whole thrilling saga to a close.

The Blacklist Season 9 saw Raymond go scorched earth to try and unearth Elizabeth's killer, not knowing her murderer had been right next to him all along.

Marvin Gerard proved a formidable foe when he killed Elizabeth and set his sights on killing Raymond and taking over his empire.

It culminated in a showdown that saw Raymond emerge on top but only with some casualties.

The final season is bound to look and feel slightly different, and some changes were teased in the Season 9 finale.

Spoilers for The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 1 tease a smaller team, a new cast addition, and the team going on the defensive while playing offense to some extent.

The team minus three members.
