Honestly, if you like a good drama (with cheesy acting) about rich people in the Hamptons getting up to allsorts, this is for you.

E4 9pm tonight.

Whats Grimm?

I feel terrible about GOT, I have got the last three waiting for me to watch. I havent taken to it this time around at all.

There is a plus 1 for E4?

I tried Grimm but didn't like the lead guy- he looked like a bland Tom Cruise.
I'm quite enjoying Once Upon a Time but was gutted that they killed off the gorgeous sheriff!

Revenge looks really cheesy good I have it on my Sky + list.

I quite enjoy Grimm. I like the lead actor (he's quite nice to look at) but it seriously needs more female characters. Whole episodes almost go buy with no women featured at all. It's odd.

And I'm slightly uneasy by the implication that all criminals/people who do bad things are non-human monsters. I'm not sure this is a very helpful idea.

I have seen most of the series don't ask how and enjoyed it up to the last few. It has become a bit predictable, like they thought it would be cancelled after 8 episodes, and then got caught out. But it is enjoyable at the beginning, so I'm sticking with it. The acting is a bit pants though- it's very reminiscent of 'Falcon's Crest'Grin

It is supposed be based on 'The Count of Monte Cristo' (very, very loosely).Grin

Oh it is camp as ChristmasGrin- Nolan is brilliant, he reminds me of a young James Spader.

Misse the first 10 mins (up until the sea-shaggers found the dead body). Can someone please recap? Ta muchly :)

I think they only commissioned 8 episodes at first, then the rest of the series later (I know there were a few gaps in broadcasting in the USA and it's only just finished over there).

Nolan was in a few episodes of Mad Men, and 2 of the Bourne films. Lots of other stuff too, but those were the things which jumped out. (If you google revenge and go to the IMDb site it has a full list).

Thank you for this Brightnessfalls saw the thread earlier and just watched it on catch up. Loved it too! Needed something to fill Grey's Anatomy void and this looks like it will do nicely Smile
