E4 Revenge. Starts Monday 28th May, 9pm
 

Just caught the trailer for Revenge which is apparently pretty big in America. Anyone seen any of this? The trailer looks kind of epic and it attempts to fill the Desperate Housewives void (it's even moved into DH's old Sunday 9pm slot in america). So yeah, anyone going to tune in?

Trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PEfBxHOZec

I'll give this a try, thanks for posting. It sounds like it has potential :)

Definately looks good. I'm getting bored of the usual cop and medical shows so anything that's not that has potential in my eyes. Excluding Glee. Yuck.

A good new comedy in the style of Scrubs would also be good.

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?

Madeline Stowe is the only other name I really recognise but it looks good nonetheless. Bitch in apartment 23? That rings a bell. Is it new? 666 Park Avenue also looks promising.

Might give it a go although hopefully not too Desperate Housewifey.

Anyway watch this then?

I forgot so Im watching Big Bang Theory E4+1 waiting for it to repeat!

going to catch it on plus one. set a reminder on my phone and guess what... it didn't remind me!!!

haha! :D

are you watching?

I've missed the beginning, what's the setup?

Emily's fiancee has either shot someone dead or been shot at their engagement party.. now we've got a '5 months ago' setup

completely confused but it looks good. Will have to re-watch it.

So, this is all flashbacks to what the opening scene was?

Yeah Im not sure whats going on atm :laugh:

Just read this. The flashbacks make sense now:

Emily, the woman who just moved into the beach house is getting revenge on the people who live in the big house I think. Her living there [where she lived when she was a kid] is all part of the plan. Hence the flashbacks, she's remembering things that happened when she was there as a kid. Not sure how the man being shot in the beginning is relevant.

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

I like it. Very Lost-y.

It's been picked up for season 2 already. Not sure how they'd carry it on once emily finally got her revenge.

Somebody avenges her revenge? :tongue:

hahaha. That woman's face when she said dannys home. I thought, she's having an affair with her boyfriend. Then he says 'hello mum!; hahaha

I'm liking it.. but I'm a tad confused.

I liked the "I hope your husband is feeling better". lol

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.

I watched it & loved it :D

Pilot was good but Im like you both confused as **** :joker:

Who killed who in the opening scene?

Im gonna have to re-watch it before next Monday.

Epic!!

If you can be arsed to read it Wiki has a good summary...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_%28Revenge%29

-gets it-

This. My exact thoughts. 4od here i come!! See you guys here next Monday! Lol

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?

Will do! Ill be 4oDing it again at some point too :joker:

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 missed it. Blade Trinity was on Film 4! :dance:

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

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

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

Not sure Kate requested the biography of each castmember... :tongue:

Just bumping this to remind everyone is on tomorrow, 9pm e4.

:amazed:

I missed it, was out at a party. Anyone watch? Was it good?

I enjoyed it and actually got everything this week :D

Stick with it! Can tell its gonne get better and better.

Will definately catch it on 4oD.
