I was coming here to write that I can't think of a revenge film, and then realized that 'See You Up There' kinda is, and it's great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMTyn_fKjCM So yeah, that! :)

I saw this insane movie out of Korea years ago: "I Saw The Devil". Not for the weak stomach but such a feel good one, from a justice served perspective. Also I've heard of this classic revenge trilogy from Korea, could be related to the ones mentioned already.

And [SPOILER ALERT] finally Handmaid's Tale, after this last season, I'd definitely put that show in the revenge genre

Hard to say favorite about things that make you feel a little sick for how dark they are. That's the case here.

Nice haven't heard about that one. Interesting point you raise about the sickness and the darkness. Sounds like you'll enjoy the next series of podcast episodes we have lined up the next 3 Sundays ;)
