My Rating: 9/10

As a relatively new TV show, this has definitely caught my interest. I've always love revenge based shows and this is definitely one of them. Loosely based on The Count of Monte Cristo, this TV show has me wanting to read the whole book because this show is that good. Most TV shows drag in other themes such as love and romance and a bit of everything else into one TV show, but throughout the first season, Revenge has stayed on track for the most part. Of course there are some bits and pieces of romance in there, but not enough to take away from the main storyline, which is Amanda Clarke's revenge on the people who framed her father as a terrorist.

Every episode, you fear for the main character that someone will catch her, and at the same time, you are also scared of what she is capable of. With each episode, you can see how far she is willing to go for revenge, the one person who knows who she is, Nolan, is helping her. He helps her, and at the same time, he is watching out for her to protect her like he promised her father years back.

With the season finale of the first season, I do not know what is going to happen next. One of the main enemies is dead along with most of the evidence that would have freed Amanda's father.

All in all, I cannot wait for the next season.
