ABC’s Revenge . . . Love, Like or Hate?

ABC’s Revenge . . . Love, Like or Hate?

Posted by Dustin on 09.22.2011 at 11:40 am

So ABC’s “Revenge” premiered last night. It’s the new show staring Emily Van Camp, formerly Rebecca on “Brothers and Sisters.” In this show she’s Amanda, whose father was set-up by his business partners and friends . . . and the woman he loved. He was sent to prison where he died an innocent man. This all happened when she was little . . . fast forward to the present . . . she’s come back to The Hamptons to get her revenge.

I didn’t hate the show, but I didn’t love it. I’ll watch next week to see if it can really hook me. Generally shows which time jump the way this one did turn me off. I also am confused as to have many seasons they expect the show to go on, as how long can we watch a revenge plot?

What did you think?

  1. The show kind of threw me. First off, they talked about how that Parker (?) guy with the boat still held a torch for little Amanda. Either he’s obsessed with someone he knew when he was 5 or they had more of a history than they’ve shown so far and if that’s the case, how would he NOT recognize her???
    Second, she hated her father because he was a murderer but the first thing shows the son laying on the sand dead with bullet holes in his back and she acts like she expected it or something?
    Other than that, not sure how I feel.

  2. 2 thumbs down for me. Did not like it at all. Pretty sure it won’t last.

  3. The very beginning, my understanding, is the future we are leading up to.

    I also didn’t understand how that guy got her dog?

  4. I didn’t watch it bc I didn’t think it would last. If it gets good or I read something good about it I may watch.

  5. Yes I got that Dustin, but what I don’t get is how we are supposed to root for the character when she killed an innocent. That’s exactly the same thing she was so upset with her father for.

  6. See I wasn’t sure if she was responsible for that death or not. I couldn’t tell, I think maybe someone else did it. She was trying to call him to figure out where the heck he was.

  7. I heard many good reviews about it, and the promo looked pretty interesting. So I decided to give it a shot, it was horrible. That girl is seriously messed up, I think she needs to go back to that ward….
