Does the show Black List make predictions?

[PaulaJedi]

I've been watching the show Black List starring James Spader.  It is a really simple show.  Every episode is about taking down a bad guy that is on a list and they succeed every time.  It isn't the most complicated show in the universe, but I'm watching it because I noticed some interesting things about it.   I am still watching season one (which is really long).

I found these episodes interesting (no spoilers, I promise): A Chinese virologist was kidnapped because she was going to go to DC as a whistleblower.  In another episode, a senator named Mitchell was murdered.  If the real life Mitch McConnel dies, I'm going to be fascinated.

If you've seen this show, please share some of your observations.  No spoilers, though, because I haven't seen it all, yet. ?

Another prediction? A virus is used to target someone.  Had the potential of becoming a deadly pandemic and it was called the Cullen virus.

This is still season 1.

I wouldn't be surprised if the writers have contacts in various agencies.

"Oh you need another idea, huh?"
