Anybody watch Revenge last night? The endless 'coming soon' ads have been driving me insane, but to be honest, they also kind of worked, because I tuned in to have a look last night.Perhaps not the most wholesome of premises, but at the same time, it kind of tunes into that built-in desire for justice I think we all have, the wanting to see the baddie get their comeuppance.
I thought it was pretty good as a show, and I'm keen enough to keep watching. Stylistically I thought it was a bit over the top and unnecessarily dumbed-down. For example, if someone was cross, you got a 5 second closeup of their 'cross expression'. Leave that junk for the daytime soaps, please.
Also, you could always tell when you were about to go into a memory flashback, it was all very obvious. But, I guess it's prime time tele, and for me the premise was interesting enough to put up with those annoying things.

Well I meant to tune in (like you, I was sucked in by the constant plugging it received during the tennis coverage...) and then I completely forgot and watched the Four Corners special on Kevin Rudd's knifing instead.
Come to think of it, maybe the two shows probably weren't all that different!?
taped it....I'll get round to it if you reckon its ok...
Hi!! Welcome back!! I've been watching the show since it started, and really like it. Keep posting what you think!
