We live in the sixth season of a new and powerful series, where the sixth season looks quite different. The season introduces new and powerful events, where Liz and the band are racing to stop the impending bombardment by Blacklister Dodger. On the other hand, Red faces a confrontation that will change the course of his life forever. On the other hand, Liz and her sister are investigating a new mystery related to the events that took place the night Raymond Raymond died.
Where previous seasons may have asked us to bring something back from the long and winding serialization of Red-and-Lizzie, the premiere of season 6-is working on more of a minute-by-minute recall time.
For now, there appears to be a legitimate shift in how [Red and Liz] talk with one another. The power dynamic is as balanced as ever, which makes for a far more compelling race to the next big reveal.
