Revenge 

Winter Break is good for two things relaxing but more importantly catching up on TV shows you've abandoned while putting your crucial and very expensive college education first. Which by the way is honorable and totally depressing when you hear people talking about up to date episodes, and all you're thinking is "LA! LA! LA! I can't hear you!" The hardest part is where to start, first on my list is ABC's Revenge. 

If I'm honest I was so sick of this show relatively early in the third season. I was thinking it should have been over in three seasons, I was sick of the back and forth between Emily/Amanda and Daniel, the war between Emily/Amanda and Victoria was getting old and more than anything else I just wanted Emily to embrace being Amanda Clark and run with Nolan, Jack, and Aiden and leave her past behind. Plus I was beginning to hate everyone. But after my sisters insistence I am currently catching up on all the episodes I missed. I'm currently on episode 5. 

The fourth season has brought forth some interesting turn of events. David Clark is alive but I'm not sure he's mentally stable, does he seriously believe Victoria's bullshit? I've never particularly liked Charlotte but she has just gotten more and more annoying with every season. Did she really try to kill Emily when she found out she was Amanda Clark, she needs to pull her shit together because her spoiled brat, junkie attitude was past interesting two seasons ago, characters need to grow she's only gotten worse. Victoria should have stayed in the nut house because she is the most manipulative character I have ever come across my applause to Madeleine Stowe. Jack has seemed to find the straight and narrow now as a police officer still trying to bring justice to the Hampton's after all the crimes he's seen. I used to like Daniel way back in the first season and a little bit of the second when I thought he could possibly be different than the rest of his family but he's not and now he's dating Margaux who I thought was looking for justice but is just like the rest of the Grayson family. Are people really like this? Because if this is based on any type of reality I would never want to meet these people I'd rather stay in my middle class home in a town where the biggest scandal is a college drug bust. 

The start of this season has started off well and I can't help wanting to keep watching more hopefully I'm not let down. If you stopped watching I recommend you jump back on this fast moving train. The only thing I'm really confused about is why Louise Ellis is so obsessed with Victoria Grayson only time will tell.
