Critic Consensus: Despite a set of stellar performances led by the capable Jennifer Carpenter, The Enemy Within stumbles into an overly formulaic narrative that fails to produce any real spark.

All Critics (14) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (8)
Carpenter and Chestnut solidly play their roles, but Enemy Within doesn't crackle the way The Blacklist did in early episodes. There's nothing particularly special going on here, and it's hard to muster the enthusiasm to say much more than that.
A generic FBI show, with a generic title, that had the good sense to cast Jennifer Carpenter as a helpful traitor.
Cliched crime thriller has some gore, great actors.
No charm. No camaraderie or sexual tension. It's just familiar faces regurgitating dry, boring dialogue, as though reading from cue cards.
Just go back and watch The Blacklist from the beginning. You'll be watching a much more entertaining show.
Familiarity can be fun, I don't dispute this. But life is far too short-and the TV landscape far too crowded-to play spy games I've already played dozens of times before.
