666 Park Avenue

This series was unfortunately like so many others, canceled after only its first season in 2012-2013. As such, there are only 13 episodes. Each of these episodes is about 42 minutes long.


This show is mostly about 2 things. That is 2 things after the fact that the incredible Terry O'Quinn is on it. The first thing is the idea of high society meeting the dark arts and magic. The second is, what would you do if you could have exactly what you want? The show takes place in the apartment building called "The Drake," located on 999 Park Avenue. The two main characters become the managers of The Drake. They work with the other tenants and the owners to restore the beauty of this old building as they learn more and more of its secrets.Oh and I almost forgot to mention, Whoopi Goldberg. She's only in one episode, but she is incredible in that episode.

But here is the most interesting thing. People occasionally say "I would do/give anything to do/get ______." But what if the price was something you never would have expected to pay. Like cheating on your wife to write a hit broadway show. Or seducing a married man to regain the use of your legs. Or even your morals to be the most read reporter in the New York's most prestigious newspaper. Or more. Anything is a wide range of things, and maybe what we wanted isn't what we really expected.

Oh and a demon may be running everything. But then again maybe he is something else.

I loved the show, but like I mentioned. It was cancelled early, but it does have a bit of an ending. Just not the best of ones. The show gets a score of 9 out of 11.
