Serve it cold: 7 more great revenge series
Last week, we released a collection of revenge TV series and asked MyShows users to tell us about their favorite projects on the subject.
Thank you for your comments! Based on them, we've compiled this collection.
"BEEF"
Comedy, drama | 4.27 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2023
Two strangers Amy and Danny get into an accident and almost damage each other's cars. As a result of this collision, a feud develops between them. In an attempt to get revenge, they sabotage each other's careers, damage property, and even try to destroy their relationship.
"Awesome series, wasn't even expecting something like this from netflix anymore. Great characters with revealing histories and a lot of repressed emotions that are brought out in hyperbolized plot development. At times you start to hate them, but quickly cool down as you recognize yourself in them", — Alexei.
"It was some damn emotional roller coaster: each episode made me laugh and applaud, then left behind a silent devastation. The series is amazing if only because at first you're shaken with tension, then you start to calm down, listen intently to the deep dialog and prepare yourself for a session of introspection, and then abruptly flood with laughter when these two start throwing up 'elderberries'", — kokora.
"The chemistry between the characters is unreal, of course. It's like enemies to lovers. The script is excellent, the picture, pacing, soundtrack, cast. Everyone is good, in short. A24 👏 I sat down to watch it on the recommendation of a friend who was thrilled. And turned out to be right about everything. Definitely one of the best shows of the season", — scarcelyinside.

"Killing Eve"
Drama, thriller, crime | 4.27 out of 5 on MyShows | 4 seasons | 2018 — 2022

One day, she is recruited by a secret MI6 unit pursuing a hired killer, Villanelle. Who, incidentally, gets the order for Polastri. Soon a routine job turns into an obsession for both girls.
"Immensely grateful to this series for exposing me to the incredible Jodie Comer. Their duet with Sarah is beautiful. Yes, the last season got a little stilted, but anything can be forgiven for the masterpiece first two. <...> So far, a classy and beautiful series that saved me back in far 2019. For the characters, dialog, soundtracks and locations - forever love", — nicolemeadow.
"This was one of my all time favorite shows, re-watched everything before each season, every character was a favorite. And will rewatch more than once. But the fourth season did not go at all from the beginning. The behavior of the characters, motives became incomprehensible to me, the plot itself became not so exciting. For me, season 3 was the last season", — ollysm.
"The series was amazing, exactly until the beginning of season 4. The last 8 episodes were just a horrible boring bubblegum that I watched just to finish, rewinding 2-5 minutes at a time. What happened to the series is a mystery. Although, probably, all questions to the new team of writers. If the first seasons - bright, fresh, interesting, then in the last series I didn't care who is looking for whom, killing, saving - just as long as it ends. This series is one of those that definitely needed to leave at the peak, and they failed. I will remember the first seasons and the beautiful Jodie, who deserved all the awards of the world with her acting!" — -magistor-.

"Hatfields & McCoys"
Drama, romance, western | 4.2 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2012
Anse Hatfield, nicknamed the Devil, and Randall McCoy were close friends until the end of the Civil War, after which both returned to their homes, Hatfield to West Virginia and McCoy to Kentucky. But gradually, growing tensions and misunderstandings begin to lead to the very real war between the Hatfield and McCoy clans. Eventually their feud made international headlines, state governors quarreled, and eventually the U.S. Supreme Court had to intervene.
"If you like westerns, RDR2, definitely watch it. The plot is quite popular: conflict ensues, followed by more, more, more. It looks at least comical, which is the essence of most conflicts in real life", — chadelev.
"I really enjoyed this series. Short, but eventful with enough revealed characters. It's interesting to see how pitting grudges, misunderstandings led to irreconcilable feuds, murders, blood feuds. People abandoned their principles for revenge. Meaningless. Even when everyone begins to realize that no one needs it, they continue to feud. It's very interesting", — skairas.
"Very good series, one of the best in my opinion. Once again I am convinced that sometimes the series is much better than a full-length movie. The acting is just on top. I would like to single out Cap and Judge Hatfield. They are very well turned out, but still do not need to emphasize them, because each of the actors were in their place, and looked as fit in their role", — Bogun.

"Classy anime. The first thing that makes it great is its stunning style and excellent drawing. And its plot absorbed such a lot of selected thrash that it is impossible not to admire the imagination of the creators of this cartoon. Samurai, droids, swords, grenade launchers and liters of blood pouring all around. This is a real grotesque phantasmagoria with inexpressible samurai atmosphere. Gorgeous. And of course Samuel Jackson's gibbering voice adds its own unique charm to this anime", — Seraphimer.
"Anime under hip-hop - something new! Definitely worth watching. The beautiful picture has already been written about, and I was personally pleased with the abundance of blood", — ktspctr.
"Holy shit. That's something I definitely didn't expect. In this kind of stuff, the plot doesn't even come first, everything that happens is captured by pure visuals, style, soundtrack. In short, I'm thrilled", — shei350.

"The second season is as good as the first. Everything is just as cool, the actors play just peerless, the plot is exciting from the first episode and keeps in suspense until the last episode. Jae Hoon as always at the top, very believable and realistic in the role, as if experiencing all the events of the character. In general, the dorama is super, the actors are cute and favorite, the plot is as gorgeous as always", — naytvd.
"I really liked the dorama, I put it off for a long time, but after watching it I realized that it was for nothing... Everyone's roles are played to the full 100, the stories are catchy 🔥If there will be a season 3, I will definitely watch it", — Shooky.
"Top of the year, definitely. Wonderful dorama: showed so many different stories and each one is heartfelt. Despite all the horror, the humor here was great", — elixan7723.

"Imposters"
Comedy, crime, drama | 4.03 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2017 — 2018
"There are shows with better plot, with better actors, with better details, etc. But this one is surprisingly charming", — lyasbka.
"It seemed that the second season was not written by the same scriptwriter, because the first one is stuff, love, Maddie and her subtle scams, and the second one is stilted, contrived. Even the episodes mothered at times. But overall I liked the series", — sveetylove.
"The series is average of course, but wildly cute and lampe, and the chemistry between Ezra, Ricci and Jules is just magical, I adore these three, at least purely because of them it was worth watching this series, I will miss. Goodnight, sweet prince", — Silverstein.
