I've been going on about this show since like last October, I've got half my office watching it because they were so sick of me going on about it they now need to see it for themselves lol
I am currently watching at US pace but thought I'd revisit the E4 showing tonight. WOW!!!! This is what TV is missing, Thought I wouldn't enjoy it as much but still as gripping. Stick with it people. - It will definitely fill the void once the Desperate Housewives leaves
I really enjoyed it! It was quite confusing at first (so many similar looking characters), and it was quite difficult trying to work out who everybody was. But I 'got it' towards the end. I can't wait for next week, now
My only vice was the amount of bloody ad breaks :mad: There seemed to be an ad break every 10 minutes...
did anyone notice Connor Paulo's junk in the beach scene?
I suppose I'll have to watch that scene again to check.
What a chore!
Revenge has definitely hooked me in, I loved the Victoria/Lydia scene where Lydia won the painting and Victoria is all bitchy in her speech. Pure soapy drama!
Gave this a watch tonight and to be honest i'm not sure about it. The first quarter of an hour it felt like i was watching something out of Desperate Housewives, it had such a soapy feel to it but after a while things began to warm up and it became interesting. I did like Madeline Stowe, she plays a bitch to perfection.
The thing i found most annoying was Amanda's best friend. Is she British and that accent of hers is real or is she an American putting on the accent? Everytime she spoke i wanted to switch off. Like i said, really annoying! I'll give it another watch just to see what happens next.

Ashley feels like a spare part at first but as it goes on she becomes more of a main player and actually pretty hilarious.

She's British, she's been in UK Living series Bedlam amongst other things.
Honestly, give it a couple more episodes before you decide. It really does get better. The characters all try to manipulate each other and there's a corruption back story to it all.
Once Emily starts her revenge it gets great. It starts off as a revenge of the week series but then drops that and just develops the story arc every episode.

She is British as others have said.
When I saw her initially, I kept thinking of her as Bambi in Secret Diary of A Call Girl. She has done well for herself "across the pond".

She really has, considering there are much better actors/actresses than her who never get a break.
She made a good choice auditioning for Revenge. I don't think even ABC expected it to be the runaway success that it has been. It will do her career no harm!
I was amused that in the scene where the bank officials came to the waterside bar to give notice of foreclosure, in the background there was a 1969 Rock-Ola 433 vinyl jukebox, because I have one of these myself.
Vinyl jukeboxes occasionally appear in the background of sets in other contemporary dramas, like "Gossip Girl" and "Justified." But in the age of i-pods they seem to make very little economic sense and are probably there as a bit of "set dressing."

She has the tendency to purse her lips and suck in her cheeks whenever she is trying to demonstrate her character is scheming but it looks to me like she is sucking a lemon.
She's not the only Brit on the show - according to imdb, Daniel/Joshua Bowman was born in Berkshire and educated at Wellington College.

Does anyone know the name of the song that was played throughout the episode? Mainly during the flashbacks?
