At one point, Revenge was ABC’s highest-rated series, so it’s no wonder people are looking for shows to watch that are like it. Revenge is all about vengeance and the trials and tribulations of Emily Thorne. Will she ever get back at the people who wronged her father? Fortunately, you can tune in to find out as she navigates upper society in the Hamptons for the ultimate revenge. If this type of series sounds like a fun show to watch (and personally I can’t get enough!), there are some similar shows! Check out my favorite shows to watch when I’m missing Revenge!

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars has been around since June 2010. At the time of its debut, the show ranked ABC Family’s highest-rated production. It’s still a fan-favorite, even after seven seasons and 150 episodes.
Take a trip to Rosewood Pennsylvania. Follow the lives and secrets of four friends who watch their beloved clique disband after their leader is allegedly murdered. Talk about vengeance!
Pretty Little Liars is adapted from the book series of the same name, by Sara Shepard. However, the original concept came about as a possible TV series… more or less a fun “Desperate Housewives for teens.”

Sound like these are terrifying shows. I am not a huge fan but I know someone who will love these, will share to a friend.
I watched Scandal the first couple of seasons, but then lost interest. I’ve seen a couple of episodes of Revenge before it ended, but it wasn’t really for me. Maybe I should give these other examples a try.

Ringer’s plot kinda resembles Adam Sandler’s Netflix exclusive movie where he and David Spade (I think) pretended to be someone else. In any case, good recs on the subject!
