Review of Revenge

Revenge (2011–2015)
6/10
Started good but is getting worse each season.
10 February 2014
Revenge has definitely lost it's shine. The first season was really good and was exciting and new. Although I did question the longevity of the show and it's potential. Then came season 2 and down a level the show progressed. Although still quite engaging while watching it, I found myself procrastinating with watching the next week's episode. Now that we have just started season 3 I have found that my care level is rather low. I find myself hoping with all hope that this is the last season as they really don't have anywhere else to go. They have backed themselves into a corner with their limiting initial idea and the many subplots they have tried to create just aren't interesting.

While the cast are talented enough, I just don't feel invested in their success or failures. Although Nolan is definitely the standout character of the show, even if he is only one of the supporting characters. I think the creators won't know when to finish this show gracefully. They will probably drag it out for as long as humanly possible. Which will be a shame as the story could have been told properly in a total of 2 seasons. Only time will tell if they finish on a highish note or let it plummet to it's demise like many other started out good, ended bad shows.
