Tonight's must watch? My initial thought was Modern Family. Then I smacked myself with my imaginary TV Guide. Coming off an impressive 5 Emmy wins and guaranteed to be hilarious, this show doesn't need any help in the viewership department.
So instead I lend my support to Revenge (10/9c on ABC), starring Emily VanCamp. You'll remember her as Rebecca Harper on Brothers & Sisters, who portrayed the sister of Dave Anable's character, and then somehow pulled off being his girlfriend, fiance and eventually wife after they found out they weren't related. Ick right? The funny thing is, it wasn't! And sure, the on-screen marriage, as well as their real-life relationship, may not have worked out. But anyone who can pull off that plot twist without making me want to vomit my prime time snack has a fan in me, so I can't wait to watch her as the evil yet possibly likable Amanda Clarke.
Revenge also features Connor Paolo - Eric van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl (xoxo!) - and is set in the Hamptons, which means awesome scenery, awesome fashion and deliciously-awesome attitude. Be sure to tune in!
I agree, this show definitely has some potential. I mean who doesn't love peering into the lives of the wealthy and beautiful? Especially as you watch Emily Thorne take the evil Hamptons empire down one by one.
ReplyDeleteMy question though, is what happens when she runs out of people who wronged her family? The list can only be so long until she has vindication. What happens to her then? Does Amanda become Emily and lose her true sense of self (Upper-East Side Vanessa-style)?
I suppose one could say "tune in and you'll find out", however I'm going to give this one a little head start before I invest my time.
