(CNN.com Entertainment)

Having enjoyed its share of success with `The Blacklist` and various imitators, NBC treads similar terrain with `The Endgame,` whose major wrinkle and upgrade involves casting Morena Baccarin (icily similar to her early `V` role) as a mysterious femme fatale. Slickly made and fast paced, it makes for an enjoyable thriller, although it`s a dice roll as to how long that can last.
