The Blacklist
FBI's wanted names
The Blacklist is an American television crime drama that premiered in 2013, following a former government agent turned criminal mastermind who surrenders to the FBI and offers to help catch dangerous criminals from his personal "blacklist" in exchange for immunity.
The title plays on the broader sense of blacklist—a register of people or entities to be excluded or punished—while inverting it: these are targets to pursue rather than avoid.
