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.

Sounds like my cup of tea. How much have I missed though? Will I be able to pick it up?!!

BrightnessFalls · 28/05/2012 14:49

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.

DamselInDisgrace · 28/05/2012 15:38

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.

DamselInDisgrace · 28/05/2012 15:39

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.

BrightnessFalls · 28/05/2012 18:25

Let me know what you think of it. Its the pilot tonight.

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

BrightnessFalls · 28/05/2012 19:56

Oh, my gay friends love it as its so camp. Its very Falcons Crest thats true. I still loved the first few I saw. Ive decided to watch it legally from the beginning again Smile

Raahh · 28/05/2012 20:01

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

BrightnessFalls · 28/05/2012 20:14

Yes. Lets not give it away but, what have I seen him in before?

OP posts:
Raahh · 28/05/2012 20:51

ooh, i don't know- not sure I have seen him before?

BrightnessFalls · 28/05/2012 20:57

Rebecca was in Brothers and Sisters. She couldnt act in that either Smile

Im off to watch it now.....

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

Barbeasty · 28/05/2012 21:08

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).

BrightnessFalls · 28/05/2012 21:59

I think he's modelesque.

I have it on delay. Just putting it on.

Loved it! Looking forward to next weeks episode.

BrightnessFalls · 31/05/2012 17:51

It was the pilot, it wasnt as good as next weeks when it really gets going.

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

diddl · 01/06/2012 11:20

I quite enjoyed it.

But just had a quick nosy & there are about 20eps & a 2nd series-not sure I´ll last that long!

rhondajean · 02/06/2012 19:29

Watched the pilot this morning - this could be my new guilty pleasure!
