Little do they know that Emily Thorne is none other than Amanda Clarke, the daughter of a man who was betrayed and murdered by and because of them and their unscrupulous deeds.
What happens when Amanda launches a meticulous plan to make each and every single person responsible for her father’s downfall pay for their actions?

The series fan for four seasons and packed some of the strongest plot twists the world of television has seen within the last decade.
could have benefited by having a writer who had actually thought the storyline through past season 1
Weird that this post happened, because just yesterday I was thinking the same thing. I have watched the first season multiple times, wondering where the hell they went wrong.
you can always tell, like if you see the first 5 seasons of supernatural verse everything afterwards, you can clearly see that the original writer had a beginning and an end he wanted to get to, after 5 you can literally see the writers scrambling to come up with a new plot season to season.
vampire diaries first 3 seasons
how to get away with murder first 2 seasons…verse season 3
I stopped watching during the second season because it just got too convoluted.
The last season was as far as they could push it and even that was 1 season too many.
Loved it though.
It was good up until the end of the second season. The third was watchable but getting silly and the fourth was ridiculous.
Wow.
