abc Revenge (Season 1)

[Rappy Veteran]

Wealth, beauty and status define the people in this town, but one woman is willing to destroy everyone for the sake of revenge.

Emily Thorne (Emily Van Camp) is new to the Hamptons. She's met some of her wealthy neighbors, has made a few new friends and seemingly blends into the town. But something is a little odd about a young girl living in a wealthy town all on her own, and the truth is that Emily isn't exactly new to the neighborhood. In fact, this was once her old neighborhood, until something bad happened that ruined her family and their reputation. Now Emily is back, and she's returned to right some of those wrongs in the best way she knows how – with a vengeance.

this show was really cool and interesting! consider me hooked!

[KoL Veteran]

Yeah I just watched it and I liked it.

[Rappy Veteran]

very solid second episode!

[Lovell]

It's definitely a nice little show, I wonder if they intend to make a 2nd season and how they'd do it without changing the concept of 1 revenge per show.

Good second episode! I agree that it's maybe the best new show for Fall 2011, though I gotta watch Person of Interest again before I really decide. Unforgettable, Prime Suspect, A Gifted Man, Terra Nova, The Secret Circle, etc. They are all great, too! Too many new shows to watch and not enough time to do it. I hope ABC renews Revenge and doesn't jerk it around by putting it in different timeslots. This is one show that shouldn't be cancelled. I said the same thing about Invasion and Flash Forward, though.

Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp), whose real name is Amanda Clarke, moves back to The Hamptons to take revenge on the people who caused the death of her father David (James Tupper) and destroyed her family. When she was a little girl, Amanda's father was arrested on terrorism charges and tried for treason; and her life was destroyed. She ended up in juvenile detention and on her 18th birthday inherited the wealth of the company her father invested in. She changed her name to Emily Thorne and decides to take revenge on the people responsible.

Revenge is a drama/thriller that takes place in the the Hamptons, a world of rich caviar and lavish living, that follows Emily Thorne (Emily Van Camp) a woman with a past that fuels revenge on the separation of her father and mother years ago. Now that she is older and wiser, but still the plan for revenge on all those who affected her life is fresh on her mind. One by one she plots and takes care of the lose ends that are in her life. Emily focuses the root of her hatred to the Hamptons to Victoria (Madeline Stowe), a rich, cunning woman who knows it all when it comes to Emily's horrible past.

Revenge flashbacks back and forth to set up the story to what happened to Emily that makes her so hellbent on revenge. She finds herself succeeding in her mission one right after another. Created by Mike Kelley (Jerico, Swingtown), this is going to be a show where you are going to keep guessing who is the next target on Emily's "hit list". She starts to discover there is more to her past than she had ever dreamed of and things go from happy to sad rather quickly.

Anyone watching this ? The plot seems quite interesting :)

Hamptons Exposed

haha wow awesome love when shows do that!

[lassekongo83]

This and Homeland seems to be the 2 best new drama-thriller shows this year. :)

[witalit]

Nice gonna have to start watching this sounds great!

[trag3dy]

Typically this isn't my kind of show, not enough guns, explosions, or zombies and to much talking but it's still alright. I'll keep watching.

[Original Poster]

hmm sounds like it could be good... does not sound like it could go on for very long though... I shall give it a watch though every show has 2 episodes to captivate me... if it does not succeed by the end of the second its no good :o

[DrunkenBeard]

Last episode was great. For people that are still undecided, this show is very Twin Peak-ish. Certainly not something that will go on for seasons but I'd be very happy if it closed nicely after 2 seasons.

[DrunkenBeard]

I'm digging this up. The show is at its 15th episode now and it's really great. If anyone was still on the edge, I'd totally recommend watching it.

[El Marto]

Agreed. Watch this every week, really solid drama show. Well worth a watch

[DrunkenBeard]

This show ... this show ... what an epic season finale. Seriously, this is easily one of the best shows this year! It also got renewed for a second season and the director said they're aiming for 3 seasons. Anyone who loved LOST for its character driven storytelling, WATCH THIS! NOW!

I've started watching this :) Up to Episode 5 so far and loving it :D

[richardsim7]

Just watched all of Season 1. Definitely not what I expected! Man these people know how make a finale!! :D

[PGHammer]

Anyone watching this ? The plot seems quite interesting :)

The show is similar (in a lot of ways) to "Falcon Crest" - however, the proverb it follows is Asian (and ancient) on the subject of vengeance - first, dig two graves. (Nietzsche put it at its most terse - you stare at the abyss, and the abyss stares back at you.) The protagonist faces the very real possibility of her desire for vengeance eating her whole, making her worse, in every aspect, compared to her targets.

I just watched the entirety of Season 1 in basically one sitting. I'm hooked, can't wait for Season 2.
