Revenge: Illumination

Once again, we feel ever so sorry that we didn’t get to last week’s recap. It’s not because we didn’t enjoy the episode. Quite the contrary, in fact. We’ve loved the last two episodes if for no other reason than they introduced the character who will forever more...

Revenge: Sacrifice

We’re not sure why so many of you begged for a Revenge review from us last week, because we haven’t felt like we’ve offered up anything worth talking about in the way of show analysis this season. We could be magnanimous and place the blame on ourselves, but this is the...

Revenge: Power

Once again, Victoria Grayson stands revealed as the absolute worst hostess in the history of the Hamptons. At some point, shouldn’t the press (not to mention the rest of the population of Hamptons) zoom in on the fact that every time she throws a party, someone dies, falls off a...

Revenge: Illusion

You shouldn’t count on us for a coherent review of an episode where all the women wore gorgeous dresses and all the men wore drool-worthy suits. We’re sorry, darlings. We were dazzled by the pretty and now we’re staring at our screen trying to come up with a recap and...

Revenge: Forgiveness

We couldn’t stand the little psycho stripper when she was introduced to the story last season, but now we find ourselves hoping that Fauxmanda never leaves it. She’s served as a perfect vehicle to showcase Emily’s darker side; her tendency to use people to the extent that...

Revenge S2E4: Intuition

With all the martial arts and The Initiative, and the plots and schemes and shadow-y organizations and all that general Spy Girl/Hamptons Batman stuff going on, we feared this show was going to lose sight of what we think landed it an audience in the first place: good, campy, soapy fun. And...

Revenge S2E3: Confidence

Because we’re whiny types, we spent last night thinking, “Dammit, TV people! Did you HAVE to put all the good shows on Sunday nights?” to be followed by, “Dammit, Revenge people! Did you HAVE to make the story move so fast and furious that we don’t even know how...

Revenge S2E2: Resurrection

We had conflicting reactions to this episode. On the one hand, “Yay! Everything’s back to status quo!” On the other hand, “Dammit. Everything’s back to status quo.” Of course Victoria wasn’t going to remain in that cabin for much longer and of course...

Revenge S2E1: Destiny

When a deliciously fun show with a strong hook comes along and captivates everyone’s attention in its first season, the fans all hold their breath when the second season rolls back around. Sophomore year efforts have a history of failing for a lot of reasons, but mostly it comes down to...
