ब्यूटी एंड द बीस्ट

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.

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!

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 was a die hard fan of the B&TB of the 80s and I feel this show is awesome IF, and only if, one stops comparing it with the original and give this show a chance. I think CW should have given the show a different name as well as the main characters because it gave a certain level of expectation to die hard fans. Some people were disappointed, others were not (like me). The only stand out similarities are the title of the show and the names of the main characters (Catherine and Vincent). Other than that, this show is a different take and should not be compared to the original. The original had "heavy" and "deep" material. Heck! Real life nowadays is already heavy and deep. If I wanted heavy and deep, I would watch the news or read the newspaper, etc. I want to mentally "escape" from real life for a few hours. So, I tune in, sit back and be entertained. I recall another show (about two vampire brothers in love with one woman) that initially had many negative reviews in its first season (mostly because the TV version was vastly different from the books). Now, that show has a cult following. Give B&TB a chance...give yourself a chance to have some fun.

I liked the show but it reminds me of the Ghostwalkers book series by Christine Feehan and the Breed book series from Lora Leigh. I love both of these series so I seem to be really liking this show so far. This show uses the same Idea (government experimented and tried to created super soldiers and then tries to destroy them when they got more then they bargained for) They also added a (maybe) love interest. Making the FBI part of the government conspiracies is a good twist when it looks like it was the military that did the experimenting on the soldiers. And in the first show they hint that the mom was involved in the experiment and that is why she was killed. I hope it continues with this story line if so I will continue watching.
