Who else is watching Revenge?

If you loved Profit, you should know that they are remaking it with a female lead, and that is awesome.  I thought they'd be careful to leave her more sympathetic, but no!  I mean, yes, tragic abuse backstory, but she shares that with Jim Profit. That, and a willingness to use anyone and everyone who will help her get revenge.

I'm watching Revenge, and I LOVE it. I love the intrigue, I love that Emily/Amanda (also known as Emanda) isn't a good person, she is a damaged person. I love Queen Victoria in all her icy bitchieness and I love that she is a complicated person. I have loved the take downs and I'm impressed that the show is willing to show Emanda doing more and more dangerous and sketchy things. I think Daniel is weak, but interesting. I adore Nolan, although I have no idea what he is up too. I even like Jack, although I desperately hope they do not make him Emanda's twu wuv, not because is is good and boring, but because she would each him for breakfast and spit him out if her revenge required it. I'm so so on Declan and Charlotte, but I'm willing to give it time. My greatest joy is that two women, one of whom is an age that Hollywood considers dispensable (Madalyn Stowe) are the strongest and most layered characters in the show. And it actually passes the Bechdel test.

Yes, Revenge is my favorite new show.

Same here. It's the only show this fall I'm pretty sure i'll keep. It's a gorgeous mix of old style soap, intrigue and scheming, and the beginnings of some wonderful character interaction. And yes, to have the main character intriguing but not really all that likeable (even as we do like her :) is great!!!

I love it too, for all the reasons you mentioned, although I'm even more meh on Declan.
