Yes, it is good... Bit trashy but seems to have a decent story arc. The main two characters (Emily and Victoria) are very interesting and carry the show (as they should). I feel it is a little bit like that tv show a few years ago called Harpers Island.

She blinked while she was lying on top of the taxi! It was quite horrible to think that she was alive and probably in agony.

I heard Ellen talking about this show a few months on her talk show and they showed a clip.
I was intrigued on checked it out on Hulu (with US proxy of course!) I then discovered that in 4 days they were going to be making all but 2 episodes available to US subscribers of Hulu plus only!!! That was 22 or so the episodes.. each being 45 mins long! I wasnt gonna watch it non stop.. I have other things to do! I managed to watch 8 episodes!! I l like it.. and I don't usually like murder/ mystery programmes but this I like.. even though it is so unrealistic! I still find it difficult to see Emily Vancamp as anything other Rebecca from Brothers & Sisters! Just gotta wait a couple of weeks till new eps now!! Will have record though as will be abroad typical timing!

I am inclined to agree, although it's not exactly similar there's something about it; it's filled the fantastic-US-drama void anyway!

A cunning criminal mind there.
Things like this do make the show slightly less believable...every single time I watch it I cannot help thinking how unrealistic it is that no-one has twigged - the fact that the child was clearly a very clever and self-aware eight-year-old is just the cherry on top!

Yeah, the number of times it flashes back to Amanda witnessing almost every important piece of backstory is very odd. lol
She chose the right times to pretend to be asleep.

But, it's a far fetched soap opera that's highly entertaining so I suppose I can forgive it.

I enjoyed that last episode, bit of a shock ending and something different from the usual target of the week. It really is a trashy soap opera but i'm still finding Emily unlikeable and find it hard to root for her but i'm enjoying all the scheming, backstabbing and manipulation.

That's what I found quite interesting in the first half of the season, they'd developed Victoria quite a bit and I found myself feeling quite sorry for her and she is supposed to be a primary villain. lol

I think Tyler is the best character right now in Revenge. I SO want to know what his gameplan is! Loving his scheming, he's clearly a bit cuckoo!

He's such a baddy by numbers though, and I just find all of his evil looks so camp that I keep giggling at him!

Does anyone else get annoyed by the woman that does the sponsor message when it's going to an ad break...she tries to say 'Revenge' in a really flat, cold voice but it sounds ridiculous!

I've already watched US pace so I'm not quite sure which episode E4 is up to. I'm guessing 4 or 5 but isn't the current E4 trailer full of spoilers for what actually hasn't happened yet?

I just saw it being advertised and thought they ruined a pretty good twist. Although, I could be wrong and it's already aired.

Episode is the July 4th one with the party and Conrad fires Frank after seeing Nolan's video.

Tyler is an interesting character. I wasn't sure of him at first but now, I think he's brilliant.

Nolan and Emily are still my faves though.

...more like a scary manipulator who also appears to have designs on Daniel . As he's a bad guy, he must surely get his comeuppance along with sacked security chief Frank Stevens.

PS I was surprised to learn that actor Gabriel Mann, who plays tech savvy Nolan Ross, is actually 40 years old.

Me too.

Actually I was going to ask on here how old people thought the character was supposed to be when Amanda's father invested in his firm, because I thought he looked young.

A great episode of Revenge last night, i'm almost inclined to say it was excellent! The plot is thickening! Loved the twist between Amanda Clarke and Emily Thorne, did not see that coming! The original Emily is seriously hot, much hotter than the fake Emily! Although the fake Emily (on the beach) has a hot bod!

And Tyler and Nolan, OMG! Did not see that coming either! I also really felt sorry for Victoria for once! Lol. Great character!

I think it's safe to say this is the point in the season that changes everything.....

I think i had an bit of an idea Tyler might be gay (or bi or whatever he is)....i think he's rather fond of Daniel in more than a mate way....

He's also been rather suspiciously camp as well.

Same with Nolan actually.

Yeh, so i don't feel that surprised, shocked but not surprised. If that makes sense.

Loved the latest episode of Revenge...Tyler's gameplan is probably the most intriguing of everything...
Didn't like Declan before, but he provides some comedy moments with Victoria...
Love the Emily/Amanda twist - the promo for next week seems amazing
And goodbye Frank, didn't hate him, but I won't miss him!

...and manipulative and scary. That guy is, not to put too fine a point on it, a snake in the grass and I do hope he gets his just deserts sometime later on in the series.

I feel somehow I missed something very important in the last episode. How did Frank find out which actual institution Emily was in and why was the Governor so accommodating with him? As soon as she left with him and locked the door you knew what was going to happen but how did he get back into a jail basically and break into her office

I was watching on my lap top and it kept going into ads frequently so maybe I did actually miss something. anyone fill me in please
