Binge-Worthy: 666 Park Avenue

Hitchcock, creepy things, the Devil is your landlord- you may be on Park Avenue.




Jane and her boyfriend Henry have just moved to New York to help move Henry's political ambitions to the next level. They take a job as live in managers of 999 Park Avenue, but the owner of the property, Mr. Gavin Doran, is a bit spooky. He seems to have power of people and trades favors for the deepest desires of his tenants. Jane begins to learn dark secrets about the building they live in and gets dragged into it's deepest parts. The building begins to take over Jane's obsessive nature. Mr. Doran is pushing Henry towards the political life that would get him the pull he needs to have power over even more people. All this tension builds to a boiling point where Jane has the option to trade her soul for what she really wants- the answers to the secrets the building has and safety for Henry.




Episodes to Watch:
Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot
Learning the characters is a very important part of any show. Jane and Henry seem so naïve in the beginning, but learning where they come from really helps with their character development. Also seeing what Gavin is like before meeting Jane and Henry gives more background to his story.


Season 1, Episode 4: Hero Complex
Gavin plans on making a hero out of Henry for political gains. What is important to learn is the relationship between people who are "children of the Drake hotel" interact- look at Jane and Nona.


Season 1, Episode 13: Lazarus Part 1
This is where everything comes to a head. Jane is confronted with her true heritage and job in the Drake Hotel. This shows where everything is going.




Characters to Know:
Jane- Jane is a wholesome character, or at least we're supposed to think so. She's very crafty and curious. Her nature leads her to ask questions that could get her in trouble.
Henry- Henry wants to win the "right way". He wants to do the right thing and reach his goals by getting the upper hand politically.
Gavin Doran- He is supposed to seem devilish. He seems like he steals souls in exchange for what he wants, but he also seems to be more caring than that towards people.
Olivia Doran- She's fierce and on top of her game. She's the ultimate partner in crime for Gavin.


I like the creepy aspect of this show. There's a lot of references to Hitchcock works in this series and other horror clichés that make watching this show a bit more fun rather than so full of scary weight.
