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.
This show is going places
I wanted to start by saying, I've never watched a pilot more than once in the same week but with this show, I did. When the second episode aired, there were bits that were bothersome to me and I wasn't quite sure where it was going. However, after watching the third episode, I finally get to see where it's headed and I absolutely love it. I think everyone should give this series a chance and if you don't like it, that's fine but I can't say this show is similar to anything else on TV. I love how different it is and the entertainment factor is through the roof. The chemistry between characters is excellent and the acting is up to par. This is most definitely a show I'll be following!
I'll be following it
I can't understand the negative reviews, I enjoyed the first episode and found it demanding of my attention (I watched on HULU while doing other tasks... or not doing them, because, as I said, it grabbed my attention). The acting in this show is quite a bit better than most CW offerings, and Jay Ryan is well cast as Vincent. IMHO, and Kristen Kreuk's personality aside (I don't see how it has anything to do with the quality of the show, as actors are notoriously self absorbed, so I think the hit piece published above is irrelevant and I'm surprised it was approved) I find Kreuk's performance to be just the right combination of tough exterior with fragile insides. So far as the story is concerned, it's off to a bit of a slow start, but it's not uncommon for a good or even great show to take some time to build it's world. This will take a bit of time as the writers seem very focused on establishing the two main characters and their relationship to each other. I was also impressed that the action sequences did not dominate the show. They were short, well done and added to the story instead of hiding any flaws. This one I'll be giving a few episodes to see how well it builds.
Unreal Chemistry, Underrated Show
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.

Kristin Kreuk is reason enough :D
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.

Did you know
- TriviaJay Ryan had a great deal of input on the Beast's look and fighting style. It turns out that a lot of the Beast's characteristics were developed by Vincent himself. Thanks to spending upwards of four hours at a time in the makeup chair to apply the Beast's makeup and prosthetics (plus another hour and a half to take it all off!), Ryan had strong feelings about the way Vincent and the Beast should appear onscreen.
- GoofsThe show is supposed to take place in New York, and yet numerous street and road signs reveal that it is not New York, but give away the filming location of Canada.
