ABC, September 21, 2011. Wednesdays at 10.
Starring: Emily VanCamp (Everwood, Brothers and Sisters)
Plot: Emily Thorne is a mysterious woman seeking revenge on the people who destroyed her family. Apparently, all of those people live in the Hamptons. This show will be very loosely based on The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas.
Why We Are Excited: The preview and concept are good. Who doesn’t like a good revenge story? Even Ern (who will talk your head off about the unique wonders of grace and forgiveness if you’ll sit still long enough) enjoys a good, direct revenge story in entertainment. This looks like it could be a more violent, more interesting version of the first season of The O.C.
Why We Are Not Excited: We think there is a chance it will turn into The Gates or something, a show that looks good on commercials but isn't actually good in execution, and we are unsure of the main actress’ ability to carry the show. She didn’t come across as very charismatic in the preview.
Preview:
Anticipation Score: 8/10

I share your concerns about Emily van Camp, but she was fantastic on 'Everwood', even when her character wasn't very sympathetic. I hope this show is cool!
ReplyDeleteThat's heartening. We get more excited about this show every time we see it advertised.
ReplyDeleteYou can read the pilot if you have a Kindle. One of us does but still wants to wait.
The pilot has leaked I guess and I saw it online. It was awesome and I'll definitely be watching this show :) The lead actress is great :)
ReplyDeleteHehehe we might have seen it too. Someone might have sent us a videoobb link. And how could you NOT watch, if someone were to send you such a link.
ReplyDeleteIf we did watch the pilot, and we're not saying we did, we're pretty sure we would have liked it a lot and agreed with you about the actress. She's much better on this kind of show.
Holy cow...I saw the premiere last night & thought it was amazing! I hope you two are planning to recap...=)
ReplyDeleteYeah, we've had it ready for a while. Will post tomorrow. :)
