I absolutely love Revenge - a captivating ABC drama series created by Mike Kelley. I started to watch it because of Emily VanCamp who was brilliant in "Brothers & Sisters", but I did not expect the whole thing to be so damn good. I have to say it is probably the best casted US series I have seen for a long time. Madeleine Stowe for instance is so spot on in her role as Victoria Grayson that I find it hard to believe she could actually be a nice person in real life. Which she definitely is. Also the character of Gabriel Mann - IT genius Nolan Ross - is so different from what is expected in such a genre. I also admire Ashley Madekwe who brings along a touch of brit arrogance and immaculate style.
So - as you can see, I am totally obsessed by it. I can not remember the last time I was so caught up in TV since Knight Rider .... Some of my friends are laughing at me and I can not blame them not understanding the revenge-appeal. Maybe there is something hidden in me that has drawn this plot so close to my heart? But you have to agree that revenge is a desire pretty easy to relate to. In some way or another we have all felt the urge to get even, make "the bad guys" pay for our heartaches etc.
