Revenge is ABC Family's new drama, and surprisingly, it catches my attention after airing the pilot episode. Since then, I idolize it every Wednesday night. Not to say that it is that exciting, but it sure is really interesting and dark. Well, maybe not for all those who can forgive-and-forget kind of people because "this is not a story about forgiveness".
Intelligent, attractive, young and wealthy Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) integrates herself among the society's elites of the Hamptons with an intention of seeking revenge for those who are responsible for her deceased father, David Clark. Emily is born Amanda Clark, she changed her name in order to proceed with her plan of taking down a group of rich people who get her father arrested for treason many years ago, in which he does not commit and was wronged by the people involved.
Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) aka Queen Victoria is one of the most powerful and influential women in the Hamptons. She loved Emily's father and had an affair with him before his downfall. This makes her as Emily's primary target. Queen V does not see eye-to-eye with Emily as she senses that mysterious Emily is not just any the-girl-next-door and cannot be fully trusted. Her husband, Conrad (Henry Czerny) is also as powerful and wealthy as she is.
Damn, isn't Joshua Bowman cute? I think he is. Bowman plays Daniel Grayson, the only son of the Graysons. Daniel recently came back from Harvard and looking for an internship at the Hamptons. He is immediately attracted to Emily without the knowledge of her motives. He is also a drinker and used to be a playboy before he met Emily.
Nolan Ross (Gabriel Mann) is a genius software inventor. Back then, his talent was only approved by Emily's father, who invested with his personal money for Nolan's development. To show his his gratefulness towards Mr Clark, Nolan tries to help Emily in taking down the group of responsible people. He is also the only one who knows Emily's motive of moving back to the Hamptons, this also means that he knows all about Amanda.
Jack Porter (Nick Wechsler) is just an ordinary son of a tavern's owner. He is Emily's childhood friend. Jack falls for Amanda (Emily's birth name) and named his boat after her. Ahhh, how sweet! He doesn't recognize Amanda all grown up, but Amanda's dog (which now belongs to Jack) does.
Now, now, you will surely recognize him if you watch Gossip Girl. And yes, he is Connor Paolo, who played Serena van der Woodsen's little brother. In Revenge, he is Jack's younger brother, Declan. Declan has a thing for Charlotte (Christa B.Allen), who happens to be a Grayson. He tries to impress her in many ways that he is capable of, financially.
Revenge definitely become one of my favorite new tv series. It has almost everything that I ever wanted for in a tv series: dark, drama, mystery, romance, suspense...just to name a few. Oh yeah, and a bit of eye candy to drool over with! Hahah.
