666 Park Avenue Tv show is an American drama series which is based on the book of the same name by Gabriella Pierce. The show has been produced by David Wilcox and centers around the mysterious lives of residents living in an upscale Manhattan apartment known simply as ‘The Drake’. The 666 Park Avenue pilot premiered on September 30, 10pm on ABC and has garnered considerable amount of interest among viewers so far.

The plot unfolds through the eyes of the new tenants Henry Martin (David Annable) and Jan Van Veen (Rachael Taylor) who are thrilled at having secured themselves a luxurious home in the fashionable Upper East side of Manhattan. They double up as co mangers for the apartment and the couple is shown to be nurturing dreams of making it big in the city.

Their luck on the other hand might not be as promising as they may have possibly run into the Devil himself played by the Terry Quinn as Gavin Doran. While the possibility of that yet is to be clearly established, Gavin wastes no time in showing us some of his darker intentions for some of the other residents of his apartment. He along with his beautiful wife Olivia Doran (Vanessa Williams) are owners of the Drake and have several scenes in the 666 Park Avenue pilot to show how menacing they can get.

The opening scene starts with one of the residents being under the mercy of supernatural consequences and Terry is seen to be reason behind them. The Drake has been superbly furnished with well designed interiors and the general ambiance of the whole apartment adds an element of mystery to the show.  Overall there were quite a few creepy scenes in the 666 Park Avenue Tv show that deals with supernatural elements. But they were not scary, atleast not yet. Rather a lot of things were left ambiguous which I believe would be revealed as the show goes on.

Further episodes in the 666 Park Avenue Tv show may deal with how the new residents deal with their desires and experiences along with the mysterious incidents that happen around them. There might be more revelations as they get to know the Dorans better and how that is bound to impact their lives together. Would they be tempted to switch over to the dark side and make deals with the Devil? These  might be possible story arcs that might feature in the narrative in the future.

The 666 Park Avenue Tv show does show a lot of promise with what has been shown so far. The pilot took some time to sketch out the characters living in the apartment. It remains to be seen how the creators can take this forward after having set things up nicely in the 666 Park Avenue pilot episode.
