The teaser for the new ABC drama Revenge didn’t give away much. They were counting on the intense stare of one Emily Van Camp and the weight of a single word. The premiere offered up many childhood flashbacks of lead Amanda, a nod at big drama plotlines and many easy-to-read characters.
Episode 1 and Amanda’s alias has already been blown and her confident, big-dog exterior will surely crumble the more she plays with the South Hampton rottweilers.
The highlight was a smattering of lovely Angus and Julia Stone songs to set the mood for ocean views. Although, as we have learned from shows like One Tree Hill, you can only use good music as a crutch for so long before viewers realize the content isn’t that spectacular.
In conclusion, Revenge is dramatic yet hollow, like a gasp for air coming up from the water. It’s cold at first but it gets warmer with each wave, right?
