I'm a bit confused still (who was the guy who recognised her?) but I'm told it gets better and the twists are good. Definitely give it a chance. Knowing E4 I'll have 500 more opportunities to watch the pilot again.

Th recognised here coz it knew her when it was a puppy and she was a kid. Clever dog eh? Anyway that man and her were friends and played on the beech and she recognised him (flashback)

No, I meant the guy that knew who she was (Nolan?) and knew she was out for revenge, who was he?

Amanda's dad invested into his company and when he died she received the 49%. He handed over the box with the letter and that to her when she came out of juvie.

Missed the first five minutes or so and really struggled to get it after that. I'll rewatch it too and see how that goes. Not sure its my cup of tea, but it was intriguing. I'll have a read of the Wiki article first.

I don't see how this could be stretched out for several seasons though. Then again, I thought the same about Lost.

I don't know how much to say as I've watched Season 1 elsewhere .But yes the flashbacks happen quite often - later on in the season there is an entire episode done in flashback

Some excellent shows have come from the US. The Bitch.in Apartment.23 is epic. But Im straying off topic, sorry. So who is in this Revenge then? Apart from Emily?

Madelaine Stowe (Victoria) -- A whole list of films
Gabe Mann (Nolan ) --- Mad Men,but mainly films including 2 of the Bourne movies
Connor Paolo ( Declan) --- Eric in Gossip Girl
Nick Wechsler ( Jack ) --- Kyle in Roswell
Christa B Allen (Charlotte) --- 13 Going On 30
Henry Czerny ( Conrad ) --- The Tudors
James Tupper (David ) --- Men In Trees
Emily Alyn Lind ( Little Amanda ) --- played Shirley Temple in J Edgar ,9 year old daughter of Barbara Woods (Deb Scott in OTH) . And probably the busiest actor on the show (she did 11 episodes
of Revenge and has 6 movies waiting to come out)

and the 2 Brits

Ashley Madekwe (Ashley) ----Secret Diary and Bedlam
Joshua Bowman (Daniel) ----Holby City but probably his biggest claim to fame was dating Amy Winehouse . Him and EVC are now dating in real life

I really loved it and it did great for ABC .It was the networks first show in its time slot (Wed 10pm) to get a 2nd season for more than ten years .Which was a surprise as it was up against CSI Vegas and SVU.And they now moved it to be DHousewives' replacement on a Sunday

WARNING - Start thinking of EVC's character as Emanda ( which is what most people in the US have done ) early on ,as it will help save confusion later on

Spoiler:

Haven't seen Apartment 23 but I did watch Suburgatory ( of the 2 sitcoms E4 got) and thought it was pretty funny ,if a bit weird

Wow, went online to rewatch the pilot (much better when you properly concentrate and understand what's going on. lol) and then catch up on episode 2 for Monday.
I've watched up to episode 6 now. Gets better and better, I was having trouble keeping track of all the crossing wires and who knows what etc but it's now becoming my guilty pleasure. Was worried about it becoming a little formulaic but up to now I like it.

Cant wait for Monday.

Is nobody watching it anymore?

I've just finished watching the season (can you tell I don't have a job?

).

I loved the constant fast pace of everything, can't think of a slow episode but I did start to dislike it when it steered too far into campy soap territory. But it regained just enough in the dark thriller genre to keep me interested.
The final 5 minute montage was edge of your seat stuff and has set some interesting areas up for season 2. Just hope a certain character returns otherwise the show will really lose something.
