Ripping Good Yarns: Revenge is a Dish Best Served With High Speed Internet

Revenge!  One of the benefits of our move is access to high speed Internet.  It has allowed us to utilize Netflix and other services to instantly watch a number of programs.  This gave me an opportunity to catch up on some great shows.  Revenge is one that a good friend has been urging us to try for quite awhile   So in the last month, Alison and I have been through all 22 episodes of the first season.   

Emily Van Camp lays Amanda Clark whose father was used as a scapegoat by  the Grayson to help cover up crimes that the Grayson's committed.  Her quest leads her to slowly destroy the lives of those who destroyed her father.  She is a beautiful and talented actress.  A bit on the tall side.  In heels she kind of hovers over her true love, Jack Porter.

There is much that helps this qualify as a Ripping Good Yarn.  There is  a great story filled with melodrama and intrigue.  It has complex characters that you care about.  The storyline continues and builds from week to week.It does have action, so there is something for those who like that.  Alison really, really likes this show.  I like it, but I'm still hoping some killer robots might show up.

  1. I am glad you got caught up. Tara (Bohn) and her husband watched all the episodes prior to season 2 starting also. They are now Revenge addicts...well, at least she says she is! Did you know that Joshua Bowman (Daniel Grayson) and Emily VanCamp (Emily Thorne) are an "item"?? I know...girl stuff! lol

  2. Showmance! We've seen the first episode of the second season. Pretty good, but I'm still holding out hope for killer robots. At least we got ninjas!
