The ABC drama is one of the best new series to hit TV this fall.
-
Until we find out what happened long ago, we'll just enjoy watching all the beautiful, golden-tanned people say awesomely ridiculous things like: "These guys really put the suck in seersucker."
-
This is a classic guilty pleasure, with campy twists and a fabulously diva-esque performance by Stowe.
-
The arrival of one pure and unadulterated drama about a passion as old as man is something to celebrate. That's particularly true when that drama is as spellbinding in its satisfyingly gaudy way, as Revenge turns out to be.
-
It's a stylish, elegantly plotted tale of a young woman's sociopathic thirst for vengeance.
-
Intriguing and genuinely fun.
-
They say Revenge is a dish best served cold, and here it's downright delicious.
-
Revenge has enough meaty characters and plot possibilities to keep it going for years. And it just may last long enough to explore them all.
-
VanCamp goes about her business with a purse-lipped Jodie Foster earnestness that makes her hard to root for. But Stowe coos, scowls, flirts and thunders. She roils Revenge. [26 sep 2011, p.56]
-
Revenge is too juicy to write off as junk. It's got strong performances, from actors who don't condescend to their flamboyant dialogue.
-
What gives Revenge the potential to last as an ongoing series (after all, doesn't Emily have to run out of victims?) is the well-drawn characters and the sense that Emily does have a conscience beyond the desire for payback.
-
It's Gossip Girl tailored to this economy, with just enough campy suspense to be enjoyable.
-
A solid prime-time soap with a burnt-crisp soul.
-
For fans of soaps, there is reason for hope. The show looks great, and it often sounds good, particularly when Emily is delivering a line we know is nasty but her victim doesn't.
-
There's plenty of guilty pleasure to be had in watching she-wolves in Chanel and their sugar daddies go down week after week. But be prepared to put up with cheesy dialogue and spotty acting along the way.
