antmd2000 Review of 666 Park Avenue

666 Park Avenue (2012–2013)

666 Park Avenue (A lot of Potential, Disappointing Pilot)

[6/10 · 1 October 2012]

666 Park Avenue is a new supernatural thriller series on ABC. The pilot episode was not as bad as people are saying, but it was not all that good either. There are certain things I liked about the first episode: The main couple seems extremely likable, the rest of the cast gives it there all, and there were a few genuinely creepy scenes. My favorite scene in the episode involves an elevator and it comes out of no where. It literally made me jump. I also enjoyed the scenes in the basement and the scenes involving Rachael Taylor's character, Jane Van Even, exploring her surroundings. The certain things I did not like about the pilot was the opening scene. The opening scene is supposed to grab a viewer's attention and all it did for me was make me want to change the channel. I also think they need to take advantage of the atmosphere more. The apartment building alone is chilling and they really need to take advantage of it. One thing I can say is that the episode definitely improved as it continued on. Overall, this new series has a lot of potential to be a sleeper hit and a creepy series, but, they definitely have a lot to work in. THIS IS NO American HORROR STORY, BUT IT IS ENTERTAINING AND SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE.
