Revenge is ABC’s new drama series that premiered across US TV screens in September this year. It centers around a seemingly pleasant, beautiful woman Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) and how she crosses path with Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe), a gorgeous, wealthy, and socially powerful woman whose word and opinion goes a long way.
Victoria’s husband Conrad (Henry Czerny) is also powerful and extremely wealthy, though it seems as though Victoria may have the upper hand in the relationship. Through flashbacks, we’re given just enough information about what Emily had, what she lost and who is to blame, to understand why she’s doing what she’s doing and to want to see her succeed.
At the same time, there’s a lot left to find out, which could make the series worth watching beyond the first few episodes. While Stowe delivers a performance that balances grace, confidence and just enough intimidation to understand why people look at and to her the way they do, VanCamp plays Emily in such away that it’s not quite clear just how far she’s willing to go to pay back the people who wronged her.
