Revenge!

[NYadgal]

It seems that many of us have become hooked on the new ABC hit show REVENGE! So, think it deserves it's own thread (like so many of the other TV shows we love or love to hate), so we can share, dish and enjoy the storylines together as they unfold.

Who's watching, and what do you love about it so far?

Delicious cast

I;m loving that Connor Paolo (Declan) finally got some good stuff to work with. His Eric was one of the hightlights to Gossip Girl for me, but in recent years kinda was just in the background.

Keep bringing the eye candy, show!

This has become my new obsession. I did not want to get involved in another new series, but this one sucked me in and now has me hooked!

[StockardFan]

I love this show!

It the perfect way to end my Wednesday night. Love it! After Pan Am, it is definitely the best new show that ABC has to offer.

SO addictive! I'm also one of Madeline Stowe's biggest fans so it's wonderful to see her on screen again. But I am wondering after Emily "ruins" everyone in her picture, what then? There's not enough people in it to last for the full season so I'm curious what else this show is going to be about.

[NYadgal]

I thought about that, too... I'm guessing there will be stories within stories (like the divorce between Lydia and her husband). They'll broaden the circle, while keeping the center of the story on Emily.

It will require some skillful scripting.

[Jordan Catalano]

I have a feeling Stowe's character isn't going to end up being the villain at all.

I clicked to see Benanti sing "In the Mood" on BWW for the new Playboy bunny show and by tech glitch, got the starter episode of this instead.

It was good. Who is that pretty leading blond actress who is avenging her father? Could swear I've seen her before in something.

[Jordan Catalano]

It's Emily VanCamp. She was on Brothers & Sisters.

I recorded this the other night but haven't watched it yet. Am now more motivated with the positive responses here.

Jordan- I started watching this show and just KNEW that you would love it. It's such a juicy, addictive show and I'm relishing every second of it.

To answer your question about it continuing, the series' creator has stated that the Emily avenging her father plotline will almost be completely resolved by the 13th episode. By then, they'll be setting up plotlines for other characters to get their revenge and so on. They want the point of the show not to be solely about Emily and her revenge, but rather the idea of revenge in general and the continuous chain it creates. It'll just kick start with Emily and keep her has a constant throughout.

Hope they keep true to their word, because that would take it from juicy soap fest to something slightly (and I do mean SLIGHTLY) more profound.

Thanks, Jordan!

Watched the second epsiode last night. Love it.

[Tom1071]

There is a whole terrorist plot that will probably have to be explored at some point.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

There already setting up lots of revenge scenarios -- the younger brother seeking revenge against his attackers, both of Emily's targets, and the drunk father will surely have a plot line. I read that the premise is sort of Lost lite, but much easier to follow.

Along with Pan Am its my fave new show of the season

[Jordan Catalano]

There's quite a few great new shows this season. I'm also already completely hooked on PRIME SUSPECT.

[Mr Roxy]

Mrs R is hooked on this show

[songanddanceman2]

I want to watch Prime Suspect but i love our British one and dont know how i feel about a remake of it, and also its ratings are so bad i dont think it will last long

[songanddanceman2]

Nothing new to add other than last nights episode was great, this really is a brilliant show. I pray when the ratings come out in under an hour it wont have dropped again

[Broadwayboobs]

Emily is the girl you hate to love.

[songanddanceman2]

It fell again grr, 2.5 Demo

[Broadwayboobs]

I'm sure most people were watching "American Horror Story" last night. From what I've heard most will be returning to "Revenge" next week.

[DayDreamer]

I'm totally hooked on it, was wondering myself how they would continue the show (especially since we basically already know where Emily's revenge is leading.)

I'll be seriously bummed if the show gets canned.
