When it comes to top ABC primetime shows, you won't have to search far to find striking reasons to watch Revenge. Ingrained within most of the characters is a deep sense of entitlement and sheer will power; whether these traits are flaws or work in their favor remains to be determined. Despite their polished appearances, it'd be wise to not be be fooled by all of the glitz and glamour of the Hamptons; these socialites are not afraid to fight dirty for the greater good (or evil). You may want to stop what you're doing and take notes because these top reasons to watch Revenge will have you hanging off the edge of your bed as the vengeful Emily Thorne's plans begin to unravel.
1 The Emily/Nolan Dynamic
One of the greatest reasons to watch Revenge is to bear witness to the utter brilliance behind the friendship of Nolan Ross (played by Gabriel Mann) and Emily Thorne (portrayed by Emily VanCamp). As two of the show's front-runners, their dynamic is spot-on! From Nolan's clever lines to Emily's penchant for revenge, the chemistry between this amazing duo is absolutely electric. It's always beautiful when they're up to no good.
Frequently asked questions
2 The Intricately Woven Plot
Centering around the revenge plans of a daughter who believes her father was unjustly framed for an airplane explosion, the overall premise of the series diverges into diverse paths that are equally as important. The further the show moves along, the more developed both the characters and their motives become, which all makes for an interesting sight to see.
3 The Romances
Warning: This may be an unpopular opinion but I would take a trip to all the wishing wells in the world for Emily to end up with British hunk and partner in crime Aiden Mathis; there's just something about his dangerous nature paired with that sexy accent that gets me every time. Whether you're rooting for down to earth Jack Porter (Nick Wechsler) or prefer the more ruthless Daniel Grayson (Joshua Bowman), the crazy antics between this love triangle turned heptagon will definitely keep you invested.
4 The French Ties
After hearing about the addition of the lovely Karine Vanasse to the series, I couldn't have been more ecstatic to watch the third season. It has been recently revealed that Ms. Vanasse, who plays French heiress Margaux LeMarchal, is now a series regular. As a fan of her work in countless films and TV shows (Midnight in Paris, Polytechnique, Pan Am), I love the acting finesse that she brings to the table. As an aspiring writer and editor, I have to say that I applaud this French-Canadian beauty's portrayal.
5 The Fashion Choices
Am I the only one who awaits each episode with bated breath to see the styling choices made by costume designer Jill Ohanneson and her fabulous team of experts? I don't think there's ever been a day where Nolan hasn't captivated Revengers with his immaculate taste in fashion.
6 The Music
I have a Spotify playlist dedicated to the songs featured on this marvelous TV series. My music interests have definitely expanded with each episode. The sinister plans coupled with sweet tunes that highlight key moments make for a sultry mix. I've also fallen in love with the wondrously composed pieces by iZLER.
7 The Revenge
No one does revenge better than Emily Thorne; conversely, I don't think there could be a better adversary than Victoria Grayson (played by Madeleine Stowe). When it comes to cleverness and devious behavior, these two leading ladies can't be beat. Victoria and Emily are completely in charge, and I'm more than okay with that.
