Revenge (TV Series)

[Lex]

Does anyone watch this? I just watched the first season and I'm really liking it so far. I'm on episode 5 of season 2 right now. Much enjoy.

Premise: Set in "The Hamptons" where a wealthy family/ corporation who were in part responsible for a terrorist attack in the 90's framed a single parent father who went to prison for it and was then murdered. The protagonist (kind of) is the daughter, who was young at the time then spent years bouncing around institutions like juvenile correctional facilities. She was forced to believe her father was responsible.

Upon her release at 18 she receives a ridiculous amount of money and her father's journals which reveal the truth. Later she moves back with a plan for revenge, adopting a false name and background so no one gets suspicious.

I really like shows with espionage/spy elements. Does anyone have any similar recommendations?

Yes! I love it. Season 3 is amazing and intense I love how Emily always manages to get out of situations, she's been close to exposure many times...

I haven't watched it, but I like Emily VanCamp. I rember when she was younger, thinking she would make a decent VA for Aerith. I would have cast her over Suvari

I might check it out if I get time

I'm growing attached to Nolan. I kind of spent the first season being annoyed by him but also feeling sorry for him. I mean he just wants to be friends with everyone ;-;

THAT SEASON 2 FINALE

JESUS

 

[ultima espio]

Season 3 builds a lot on that. Just wait until you get to the end of Season 3, you'll be craving more

Loved season 1, then it kind of slowly jumped the shark for me...

 

[Lex]

Do you know why? Season 3 has been my favourite tbh. The season 2 finale was fantastic aswell, but pretty much all of season 3 was really good IMO.

Season 4 has just been advertised on E4. Starts 5th January

 

[Lex]

I've seen half of season 4 already

I just haven't been posting about it much. I still have an episode to watch so might post about it after that.

 

[Novus]

Yeah this looks like one of those shows I could binge on and watch the entire lot in a few days like OUAT or Prison break, despite there being more than shows that take me weeks to watch.

 

[Lex]

Definitely worth it

HOLY SHIT THAT LAST EPISODE (S04E18)

*CLUTCHES FACE*

This show has only improved over the years and I can't get over how good this season has been. Word is this is the last season though.

 

[ultima espio]

I'm still watching at E4 pace, so I won't see that for ages, but yeah this Season has been a game changer. I've liked that everyone knows her secret, and that David also hates Victoria, and Victoria is finally showing some guilt.

I hope Emily either kills or makes amends with Margaux, would be kinda boring if she became the new Victoria.

Some trivia, Josh Bowman's (Daniel) sister Scarlett was in Hollyoaks.

 

[Lex]

The latest ABC promo seems to indicate that this is definitely the final season (it's really spoiler light tbh):

Anyway, the latest episode (4:19) was amazing. It was as amazing as 4:18 tbh, except better because

Spoiler

it was a bit of a flashback episode. Now that she's revealed who she really is, all the people she originally got her revenge on are after her because they figured out what they did to her. THEN SHE GOES ON LIVE TV AND TELLS EVERYONE THAT VICTORIA KILLED AIDEN OMG.

Absolutely brilliant.

 

[ultima espio]

Well Emily tweeted #goodbyerevenge so yeah this is the last season

 

[Lex]

You will NOT BELIEVE what has just happened. This season is fucking epic. Only two episodes left to go!!!

 

[Lex]

It's over

 

[ultima espio]

You will NOT BELIEVE what has just happened. This season is fucking epic. Only two episodes left to go!!!

Was this about "Burn"? Just saw that now. I wondered what the significance of the chair was...

 

[Lex]

I don't know the episode names, you'll have to give me a synopsis. The series is completely over forever now so I don't want to spoil anything for you

 

[ultima espio]

The one where

Spoiler

Victoria blows up Grayson Manor and kills herself

 

[Lex]

Oh yeah that one was the one I was talking about. Brace yourself for more

 

[ultima espio]

I knew

Spoiler

Victoria had planned her suicide to look like a murder. Total irony

2 Episodes left...

Also, did they use Snapchat to send that video? Just seems hilarious that Victoria would use snapchat xD

 

[Lex]

I have no idea how they managed to do that and then have "video deleted from server" appear lol.

 

[ultima espio]

Just saw Plea. Knew that was coming

Spoiler

I knew Ben was going to get killed the moment he pieced it all together. Always happens :p Though I didn't expect Margaux to be the one who attacked and helped Victoria. I just assumed it was Mason.

I hope Louise finds out the truth and befriends Nolan again, that would be nice
