Some people in the TV industry still think the opening sequence of a long-gone criminal thriller series was the “strongest and greatest” they’d ever seen.
When fans turned on NBC in September 2013, they saw James Spader make his NBC debut as the legendary Raymond “Red” Redding.
The show’s protagonist walked idly into the FBI building in Washington D.C. in the very first scene.
But the moment he said his name, he was compelled to bend down as authorities brandished their firearms in a tense confrontation.
People saw right away that Redding wasn’t a hero. But instead, they found out he was a deadly master criminal and a wanted man by the FBI.
