dlbhina-76900 There might be spoiler content below.After such a promising start, it came as a terrible disappointment to see the story degenerate into a second-rate soap opera. It seems living in the Hamptons means you can just walk into anyone's home at anytime, listen to private phone calls, and you must have a gun handy at all times.If only the Wachowski's had taken over production after the big wedding. After that it became a series of laughable, unbelievable stories, especially when David comes back after 20 years. As the World Turns - look out!All in all I highly recommend you walk away after Season 2. Pity.

Paulette Stubbs Sadly, I heard about his show after it was cancel and began watching episodes online. I binge-watched episode after episode that kept me mesmerized for hours, with each twist and turn more riveting than the next. This series took REVENGE to a whole new level (I call it 'SWEET REVENGE').The REVENGE franchise must be revisited!

misermike Seemingly, ABC allowed those that collaborated on the hit TV series 'Revenge', to do so by simply getting out of the way and allowing a group of very talented writers, actors, editors, directors and everything in-between. Heck, even Helen Hunt directed a couple of episodes (yes, that Helen Hunt).And, as likable (and/or) distasteful, as each actor commits to their individual roll (wholeheartedly), the writing for Revenge conjures up the age old question of what came first here, the chicken or the egg?This was a TV show that my wife and daughter began watching months ago on Netflix & it held very little interest or intrigue personally, but we all ended up pleasantly surprised.

Felix B Highly recommended. If you are looking for a new kind of drama with a strong female main character, brilliantly played by Emily VanCamp, then Revenge is definitely your show.Yes, it has its's lows in writing, and there is without a doubt a lack in realism and consistency to some degree that you have to overlook, but the show was originally classified as a Soap after all (although it's not a classic Soap or Telenovela at all, so don't be mistaken).S1 was absolutely one of the greatest drama seasons I have ever seen, and yes, the show touches some soap clichés and "anything-goes"-writing to some degree in S 2-4, but the overall experience is great, if you once start watching, you will stick with it.Cons:Inconsistency in storytelling to some degreeSome unnecessary introduction of side characters and side story lines that lead nowhereSometimes sloppy writing in S 2-4, where it seems they it was all too comfortable to explain some things away, because it's soapy alreadyPros:Characters you can care about, or to root for A general premise that immediately allows you to connect with the main character and leaves you wanting to see one rich bastard after the other fall yourself, loosely based on the Count of Monte ChristoBrilliant acting by Emily VanCamp (Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke), Madeleine Stowe(as vicious Queen Victoria Grayson), Henry Czerny (as ruthless patriarch Conrad Grayson) and Nolan Ross (as Emily's sidekick Nolan Ross)One of the most bad-ass female characters in television: Emily Thorne Emotional story lines, scenes and episodes, that will make you laugh and cryTwists and turns that will shock you, and leave you breathless (although some might argue that they jumped the shark with one particular twist at the end of S3, and they may be right)Very powerful final episodes in every season, and even better season finales that will leave you wanting moreOne of the best scores and soundtracks in drama television in last couple of years in my opinion, that really generates the perfect atmosphere and fits the emotional scenes perfectly The show has an actual ending, an ending you can agree or disagree with, but at least a conclusion, not like other shows that drive you crazy with shitty endings
