666 Park Avenue Season 1 Episode 1

Pilot 

666 Park Avenue can be described as Fantasy Island, with more murder and darkness. Two things that really help set the show apart on network T.V. The show sets up the dynamics for the first few episodes, which could lead to some creepy moments. Hopefully.

The basic plot is that Henry and Jane become the managers of The Drake Apt building, which comes with the perk of living rent free in an amazing apartment. The owner of the building, Gavin, is just the right balance of creepy and helpful. Played by the masterful Terry O'Quinn, Gavin helps sell the show as more than a bad American Horror Story rip off. Though the basic underlying themes of the two shows are drawn from the same sentiment.

It is a good thing that The Drake has so many residents, acting as red shirts or slaughter for Gavin to use as pawns in his ultimate evil plan. And about that plan, Jane has stumbled on The Drake's cryptic past, something to do with a cult and a black dragon mosaic in the basement. Glad to know that there is some mythology for the show to grow into and questions to answers while Gavin's playing with his victim of the week.
