Any good?
I watched first 3 episodes, because I think the plot is more of something I like than stuff like walking dead and shit like that or breaking bad

Anyone watched most of this series and know if its good or not?
I kinda like it atm, but im not 100% into it yet

have you ever watched Pretty Little Liars? in PLL, they introduce the villain and basic plot very early on in s1, and you get the feeling the conflict will be resolved by the end of s1 or s2 at the latest, then they'll need something new. but nope. it feels like they just keep dragging the unanswered questions and the same villain season after season after season and you never see your plot resolved. IMO, that's how revenge is. it's less of the stupid girly drama, but you find yourself asking why the main character doesnt do xyz instead of the slow grind.

granted, blacklist is similar in that sense. blacklist also has more of a monster-of-the-week feel, where 5 min is spent on the overall story arc and 40 min is spent on whoever the latest villain is.

Season 1 was interesting, Season 2 gets a bit more in depth, never watched season 3-4 because had no time to.
Was looking at DL'ing it last night, but chose against it.

revenge is about a girl who wants to take revenge on a certain family. 4 seasons into it and she's still working on her revenge on the family. if you dont like how it takes PLL forever to resolve the conflict, then you'll have the same problem with revenge.

that's why i liked prison break s1. instead of taking 4 seasons to break out of prison, they do it at the end of s1. but then they keep repeating the same shit...

a few shows i like related to crime:
arrow, justified, la femme nikita, the shield, dexter

if you want something less common, i recommend "Day Break" http://www.hulu.com/day-break
sci fi / crime show. cop finds how he's framed for murder, then repeats the same day over and over and is able to figure out what's going on.

I watch it.

Seen all the episodes, and after s3, I think they really are pushing it.
S4, the revenge plot is over, but they brought up a new factor to keep it going.

I watch it, cause I can.
