"Revenge" is a multi-part television project of the AMC channel. The first season of the series premiered in 2011. "Revenge" is successfully released in more than 50 countries around the world. Russian viewers can follow the development of the soap opera in prime time on one of the federal TV channels.
"Revenge" is perhaps one of the most unexpected and successful interpretations of the imperishable work of Alexandre Dumas "The Count of Monte Cristo". The idea of transferring classic history into the 21st century belongs to Mike Kelly, scriptwriter and executive producer of the film. "Revenge", to some extent, became the successor of the classic American productions of yesteryear, like "Dynasty" or "Dallas", but at the same time reflected the demands of the new era.
In January 2013, the premiere of the Turkish adaptation of the series "Revenge" took place. The film was produced by the studio of the Disney TV channel.
The captivating dynamic plot makes it possible to attribute "Revenge" to the list of psychological thrillers, rather than a classic melodramatic story. The film made its successful debut in the United States. The pilot episode of the film was watched by several million viewers.
Plot concept
The film is set in the Hamptons, Suffolk County, Long Island. The story is based on the story of a young girl named Amanda Clarke, who many years ago lost her father through the fault of the influential Grayson family. David Clarke was unjustly accused of preparing and carrying out a terrorist attack that resulted in numerous victims, while the true culprits of the tragic events Victoria and Conrod Graysons remained at large. David was killed in prison by a hired killer, and Amanda's childhood was spent first in an orphanage for difficult children, and then in a juvenile colony, where the girl was lonely and despised by her peers. Years passed and Amanda, changing her name to Emily Thorne and receiving a multimillion-dollar inheritance, returns to the Hamptons to destroy the life of the Graysons and cleanse her family's reputation. In this she will be helped by her father's former companion, computer genius Nolan Ross and childhood friends.

Performers of the main roles
Emily Vancamp, a talented young actress from Canada, who previously took part in such TV series as "Widower's Love" and "Brothers and Sisters", was invited to the role of the main character of the project. Emily's rivals were played by Madeline Stowe and Henry Cerny, who brilliantly coped with the image of Konrad Grayson. Famous fashion model Gabriel Mann became the performer of the role of Nolan Ross. Interestingly, the prototype for the creation of Mann's character was none other than the founder of the social network Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg.
After watching the first season of the project, Madeline Stowe's work was highly praised by critics. The great contribution of the actress to the creation of the image of a complex and contradictory character was noted. According to reviewers from The Rolling Stones, Stowe eclipsed all the other stars of the film.
