Storyline

- TriviaThe name for "Bico's Restaurant" which DMV Glen (Clark Middleton) goes into on his search for Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) was inspired by a now closed diner in creator Jon Bokenkamp's home town.
- GoofsWhen Red and Liz are at the plant's main entrance, it has a typical numeric keypad. Liz states that the combination could be one of thousands.
Red blows some sand on the keypad and sand sticks to all keys save four of them. Red then states that there are now only 24 (or 4 factorial) combinations. This is true ONLY if the combination must be comprised of unique digits (example: 2341).
If the digits of the combination may be repeated, which is most likely the case (example: 4428), then there are 4^4 or 256 possible combinations. This also assumes there were only 4 numbers used. The possible combinations for 5^5 would be 3,125 or 46,656 for 6^6. If they could try 12 combinations per minute (5 seconds per attempt), 256 could take up to 21 minutes, while 46,656 could take up to 3,888 minutes or 65 hours or 2.7 days.
- Quotes
Elizabeth Keen: I don't know what happened. I used to consider myself lucky. I had a husband I loved, a job I always wanted. I was the kind of person good things happen to.
Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Have you ever heard of Mugs Kalinowski? Lovely guy. Ugliest man I ever laid eyes on. That's why everyone called him Mugs. Except his dear mother. She was an art professor at Bard. Lovingly referred to him as Picasso.
Elizabeth Keen: That's kind of sweet, actually.
Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Well, it was an apt nickname. His face was all over the place. But perhaps as a result of that nickname, Mugs grew up with a great appreciation for art. He fenced some of the most extravagant pieces in the world. He only had one rule. Out of respect for dear mom, he'd never lift a Picasso. Felt it was bad luck. Then one day, he got a tip from a source about a piece sitting in a huge loft in Soho. So one evening, Mugs shimmied up the drain pipe, broke in, and lo and behold, there hung on the wall, Les Femmes D'Alger. A spectacular Picasso. One of a series of 15 and astronomically valuable.
Elizabeth Keen: Did he take it?
Raymond 'Red' Reddington: No. And Mugs was convinced that was the single biggest stroke of bad luck he'd ever suffered. Well, what he didn't know was the source who'd given him the tip was working with the feds. The painting had a tracking device on it. Sometimes, bad luck is the best luck you'll ever have.

This series was always good. It is now approaching great. And the reason for that is that it is crossing the fine line between TV series and mini-series.
In a mini-series you can compress the action because you know during the writing precisely how much time you have left. A regular TV series does not have that luxury because if it is a hit, the writers might have to "stretch" for years ... which often creates a paradox because a show where the writers are stretching loses authenticity and then loses audience and then there is no need to stretch anymore since there is no series.
So, the good news and the bad news. A lot is happening in each episode, much more than say you would see in an Hawaii 5-0 hour. That is GREAT for the viewers who are lucky indeed. Long term, whether the series can sustain this pace is another matter entirely.
But this is great TV.
