Bitten

Good concept. Actually seemed well cast.

It's pretty standard for a werewolf show, except that the werewolves are very fragile. They have superior strength, but have avg healing ability. Which really comes into play, as characters start dying off.

I'm a sucker for most Witch/Werewolf/Vampire shows. I started out watching this and liking it. Not riveting from the start but decent. There's a bit of traditional, a touch of more modern supernatural lore and some okay story lines. That was season one, then season two strayed a bit. I just got through watching the season finale for season two and was totally let down by this episode! By far the worst episode of the series, I don't want to give away anything but it sure did take a LONG TIME to get to what they needed to accomplish before dawn! I'll see if I continue to watch season three after the next episode.

When I first realized that they had made Elena's story into a TV show I was sceptical, as very rarely the show can match with the Books. But I must say I was pleasantly surprised, there were a few things that I am personally a little critical off, as I don't believe the actors portray the description, but again that is just personal opinion. However they have managed to keep the story line well on track, and I will continue watching and keeping an eye out for future series on this set of books. Well done, well made and all around very pleasant viewing. Not recommended for under 13-15s though. All in all, not Child friendly, but aimed at young adults, which is why i rated it at a 8/10

Quote from Ep.3 "I found one of the best kept secret in Estonia, the best vodka in the Balkans"... Do they really not teach geography in the US??? Or are the writers some internet free retards kept in a cellar somewhere? Or is it that for Americans there really is only US and "overseas" on the globe? Depressingly dumb! Even the worst cat. C series have at least some accuracy... Although this piece of you know what is actually watchable not for its absolute amateur and crappy directing and writing, it actually is a piece of work ONLY because of the sheer female beauty of Laura Vandervoort. So hire some literate and some writers above kindergarten education and the show is going to be a hit!

I originally read the Kelley Armstrong Book "Bitten - Otherworld 1" about 5 years ago and was impressed with the way the characters unfolded in the book.

And as with anyone who reads a good book you try to visualize what you read, and because of this you tend to be disappointed with the transition between book and screen.

To my great surprise this first episode has followed and brought to life the original work,and moreover has kept true to the written word unlike many other book to TV attempts in the past.

I look forward to watching this series unfold and hope that i can say the same of the future episodes.

I would caution parents as some of the future content if it follows the book may need to be viewed before allowing children to see it first.

But above all any lover of very well written stories this is a must view and i can only recommend that you accompany the series with the original book.
