I disagree with the other reviewers. Focussing on the name - get a grip. It's fiction. I thought it highlighted a problem that is not widely publicised. I reckon, from a female point of view, that Samar's reaction was spot on. I loved Dembe saying he found it therapeutic when Liz had Red up against the wall!

The child bride storyline, that is. Quite happy to see an Audi get blown up! 😉
Although the facts are not correct in this case and these countries, it is a global problem, that is not going away. I know some reviewers are not liking some of the topical social issues that are being aired in The Blacklist, but I have no problem with it. Good drama can inform as well as entertain. Calling it liberal or "Hollywood propaganda" says more about the reviewer than the show....
I'm a bit over the Garvey storyline, it's being dragged out a bit in my opinion. Story arcs are all very well but enough now.

Garvey Begins to Sweat
Hitchcoc27 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Two plot elements. First of all we have a teenager who has developed a network where children have been forced to marry older men. Once the girls reach a level of intolerance (rape and other sexual transgressions) they come to her to have their husbands killed. Some of the legal stuff presented is incorrect, but it is still engaging. The results are a bit unbelievable. The other part involves the efforts to get Garvey. Red gives him an ultimatum, but he laughs him off until a particular item comes into play. Liz has got to be the luckiest person on the planet, because all it would take is a guy with a gun and she is toast, even if she has outside protection.
Thank God for the guardian angel

Terrible. Even the blacklister name is all wrong.

Banal episode.
Note:
Series' plot almost does not exist currently, and the fact the episode title is so wrong as this one does not bode well for the future.
- latin names are "Ana", not "Anna".
- "Gracia" does not exist as name. It should be "Garcia".
- same for "Duerte" - should be "Duarte".

It's a "fiction" when the plot is wrong for other countries, not US

As usual, brazillian names and surnames are wrong, accent is clearly from a mexican or spanish actor/actress, but thats ordinary. Just get a brazillian person to help your plot, its not that hard.
Now, what really bothered me was the marriage certificate in portuguese (brazillian portuguese of course). I have no idea how it works in the US, Aram says some states allow that, but in Brazil, it is against the law in EVERY state, despite your religion or coutry region. So the certificate should've been in english.
Minor flaw? Well, its a fiction, when its talking about someone else, am i right?
