Emily Thorne Chooses Revenge Over Forgiveness

Alex Rusciano, Student Life Editor

If ever wondering what show to start next on Netflix, try ABC’s series Revenge. Many shows are on Netflix, from Criminal Minds to Gossip Girl, but those do not even come close to Revenge. It is the best show currently on TV, and recommended to both boys and girls to try.

This show is set in the Hamptons, right on the beach front. This series stars the Brothers and Sisters alum Emily VanCamp. Other stars include Madeleine Stowe, Gabriel Mann and Josh Bowman.

This story is not about forgiveness, it is about revenge. Under her alias, Emily Thorne is the newest resident of the Hamptons. Emily’s real name is Amanda Clarke, and when she was a little girl she lived in the Hamptons with her father, David. When Emily was about eight years old, her father was framed for a terrible crime and sentenced to jail for life.

While David was in jail, his conspirators plotted a murder so that the truth would not come out. Emily is now back in the Hamptons, conveniently next to the family that framed her father, ready to take vengeance on the people that ruined her father and stole her childhood.

The main conspirators are Conrad and Victoria Grayson. Conrad is the CEO of a very successful company called Grayson Global, which is David’s old employer.

Emily’s friend, Nolan Ross, is there to help Emily and her plans. Nolan provides services that deal with electronic surveillance and espionage. Emily also see’s her childhood friend, Jack Porter, who has no idea that Emily is actually Amanda Clarke.

There are many surprising twists and consequences throughout the seasons that will leave you at the edge of your seat. Seasons one, two and three are available on Netflix and season four is still airing every Sunday at nine p.m.
