What The Blacklist’s Last 2 Seasons Did To One Of Its Best Characters Was Unforgivable

The Blacklist seasons 9 and 10 divided fans like few other serial TV dramas ever have. Changes to staple characters and increasingly bizarre plot twists in the show’s final two seasons garnered mixed reactions from its core audience, arguably undermining what came before them. Perhaps the most prominent example of The Blacklist provoking the ire of longtime fans was its dramatic transformation of the character Dembe Zuma in seasons 9 and 10. Dembe had been a stalwart guardian to Raymond Reddington for most of the show’s run, but its final stretch of episodes turned him into something else entirely.
