Beauty and the Beast

Some people are panning this because it's based on the 80s version. I've never seen the 80s version and I'm sure there are differences, but it's like the book vs the movie...it's not going to be the exact same show. This is the CW, a network with The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural. This isn't Homeland and it's not going to win an Emmy, but f you go in to it with an open mind and let it stand on it's own, it definitely delivers. The two leads have great chemistry and yes the 'beast' is a hottie, but he morphs in to a Beast in anger. He looks the part, he saves the girl and they work together with romance brewing between them. He can't have human contact and she doesn't recoil from him. The cop part of the show is also pretty good (I say pretty good, because I'm not a huge cop-show fan) and it's interwoven well with their interactions. Give it a shot. I didn't think I was going to like it, after last year's Secret Circle, but I do. Do yourself a favor and don't listen to the cynics who want a complete rehash of the original. Great!

This question doesn't seem to be answered in the series. Vincent just says he's been watching her for 9 years - after her mothers death, and after he killed Cat's mother's assassins, and he always wanted to meet her; no doubt why he came out when Cat went poking around his hideout. I usually do not watch this kind of show, and it's predictable to an extent, but I keep watching and wonder if the show will start filming in Paris and later move on to other parts of the world. I very much enjoyed the development of the story, especially the tension between Vince and Cat, and probably watched the ending of S1E14 about 3 times.

The secret project of creating a super-soldier goes wrong and, in order to cover up the whole thing, all volunteers who have been exposed to serum are killed. One manages to get away and lives in hiding until he saves the life of a young policewoman and falls in love with her. Then, of course, all possible complications begin. I know, it sounds sleasy, but the series is really well done. It combines elements of crime series with romance, thriller and a bit of horror. Jay Ryan is good in the role of the "beast", Kristin Kreuk is not particularly good actress, but she is beautiful enough for male audience to forgive her shortcomings in the performance, and Nina Lisandrello as her partner and Austin Basis as a computer magician and "beast's" best friend are great. The story is complicated and interesting, directing and effects are good and the series is very addictive. It has four seasons and it's finished, not canceled, so if you decide to watch, you will finish it pretty quickly and without waiting for new episodes or disappointments that the story has remained unresolved. Recommendation.

7,5/10

This show will always have a special place in my heart. The chemistry between the leads was out of this world - the kind where just one look said everything. You could feel the love between them without a single word. They were so natural together, truly one of the best couples I've ever seen on screen. And the rest of the cast had such a great vibe and dynamic too; the harmony among them made the show even more enjoyable.

But as much as I love the characters and what the show could have been, I can't help but feel it deserved more - better writing, better direction, a stronger storyline, and definitely a bigger budget. The heart was there, the potential was there, but it didn't always get the support it needed behind the scenes.

Still, if you're someone who loves emotional chemistry and heartfelt connections between characters, this one is worth watching. Just go in knowing it had the magic - it just needed a bit more polish to truly shine.

I love love.love this show and i think they should continue the series ..yes 13 yrs later but like not starting where they left off but how their life's r NOW and continue from there ...with all the same people !! It made me cry and everything im such a big fan and really lovee this show. Everything in this show is great.
