The only reason this show made it as long as it did was because of Laura Vandervoort, she was the only good actor on the entire series. I love werewolf/vampire shows, so this one drew me right in. The first season was great, it moved at a reasonable speed, had lots of character development moments and you got to know the actors and their stories somewhat. It also had lots of wolf action.
For season two and three, there was way too much going on! Good storylines, but too much crammed into two seasons. It was non stop action, go, go go. Not just little plot lines, but really big ones with people dying left, right and centre all the time. It was too much too fast. They needed to slow the series down and have more personal moment or character building moments. And it was really annoying that the main actors would be these fierce warriors one moment, then getting their butts kicked the next. It needed more consistency to the show.
The biggest thing that annoyed me the most was that they hardly ever turned into a werewolf during the series! The first season was great because they were constantly changing, then season two and three came and there was next to no changing. I thought the series was supposed to be about being a werewolf? Why not use the power of being a wolf to your advantage. Instead they always stayed in their human form and only in the last resort changed. They also made the hype of Elena too big, you knew she was special, but the majority of the time she is getting her butt kicked and your left thinking, "okay, are you going to kill them already or what? I thought you were skilled". But then other times she was all of a sudden this great warrior that could do anything. The series needed more of a lead up to her abilities (such as training or circumstances that made her strong). Then once she had those fierce skills, the show should have had her use them more often and not be defeated all the time by enemies in combat.
The series had lots of potential, but was slaughtered by the writers. Still worth the watch, but not the best series. The sex scenes are great and there's lots of them. Laura Vandervoort is fantastic with her role, as her acting brings the show to life, the other actors not so much, but the series does introduce some better actors as the series goes on. I was disappointed that the show ended so early. I think if it would have continued it might have gotten better, especially with how it ended. It left potential.

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.

I'm a fan of the book series and 2 episodes in to this new series, I am a ban of the TV show. (Clay Danvers is hot, hot, hot!) So far the writers are sticking close to the book "Bitten" written by Kelley Armstrong. My only complaint as a fan of the books is, since I already know what happened from the book, it's moving a little slow for me, but ignoring the book, the show is doing a great job of setting up all the characters and plot.
This is one show that I'm looking forward to watching this show as the season progresses and season after season. :-) Here's to season 2! (Fingers crossed!)

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

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 love this show. I think it is well done and it's nice to see a werewolf show. I like the actors and hope to see many more episodes. I'm already addicted and have watched the first three episodes more than three times. And last but not least. The sexual tension between Clay and Elena is very evident when there in the same room. I also think it is nice to see a Canadian show and to know it was filmed in Canada. I have not read the books and since I'm an avid reader I don't know if I will read the books regarding this show. I don't always read books relating to a show if I'm intrigued enough with the show. And this is the case with this one. Keep up the great work!!
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.
With Series like Teen wolf, Vampire Diaries, Originals, Etc. It's refreshing to see a series that isn't awash with teen fever. This has a mature feel to it and with every episode leaves you wanting to know more. As someone who loves all things Supernatural, I feel many people have failed to do a series strictly about werewolves, right. I was quickly bored with Teen Wolf, feeling like the situations were reaching too high too fast. That feeling of them trying too hard to have interest. Plus most things MTV are fails, for me.
However in regards to Bitten, I was a bit apprehensive to watch the series, due to reading some bad reviews. I have not read the book series. After the first episode I felt excited! The actress playing Elaina, is so refreshing and of course it doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous. In most shows, they have some young curvaceous thing. I feel the casting in this show was so spot on that I'm actually counting hours for the next episodes.
It's not entirely a show you'd expect to be on sci-fy. Most shows they tend to play are seemingly low budget, but the precision on this show is amazing. The storyline, believable and the chemistry between the characters is so strong.
My conclusion is WATCH THIS SERIES! It is definitely quickly becoming one of my favorites.

The New Witch/witchcraft in S2 was all very realistic... Scary! Over all I liked the storyline direction. :)
I would've liked to see more of the transitional part of the wolves, and just the wolves themselves. I would've liked to see more of the wolf dynamic of senses presented In a more supernatural way & or more Significantly presented.
Nevertheless the plot was strong & the martial art action through out was cool & intense! The witchcraft was luring to watch & gripping- scary! The witchcraft effects were in keeping to what you would imagine what witchcraft does & is.
The acting was great by everyone! The chemistry between the cast comes off screen, You can tell everyone is close.

The acting was good although I had trouble with the enunciation of some of the minor characters. The sets and location shots are wonderful particularly the Toronto interiors, the family estate and the village street scenes. The attention to detail - NY plates on the cars, American flags flying, newspaper racks on the sidewalks & individualistic costuming all add to the sense of authenticity. Usually I can spot a Canadian production pretending to be in an American location very rapidly - this one had no "tells". As our heroine was morphing into her lupine alter ego she somehow reminded me of Ann Coulter - that would have been real horror! The family values espoused seem closer to Don Corleone's than Ward Cleaver's which adds another layer to the plot(s). The Horror genre isn't usually my thing, but I love a good gangster flick. When the Godfather's henchmen grow real fangs, what's not to like! Terry

I did enjoyed this show and it had an ending. It didn't leave me out there wondering. I could have more if it ever started back. I didn't enjoy the over the top sex senses. It could have been left out and it still would be a very good show. I enjoyed the family togetherness and the fighting together. I love the leader of the pack and knowing how to hold it down, keep everybody together. The lead girl I wasn't familiar with and I didn't know this was a book either until I read some of the reviews. I'm sure the books were good if the show was this good. I would come back for more if there ever is more. Good show and worth the watch. This story-line will keep you watching.

Nowadays we can be thankful if a supernatural show has adult characters in it, and I am. The demonstration of werewolves is refreshing, I liked it, and its always good to see a strong ass kicking female lead character. The story at many point is really stupid, but I think its more up to the poor writers and directors of the show. The music is nice, the actors are fine. It is really an ok show, if you do not expect much, you will enjoy it. And screw you bookworms, stop complaining please, it is an adaptation, based on a book, not the book itself. I really do hate reading reviews of films full of crying about book contents. If you are interested in books, just read.

Dont watch much TV but this series was awesome. Too bad they cancelled it, would have been nice to see how the story would play out living amongst the humans. Why always the good shows and all those crappy reality tv is still going. This is why I cancelled cable.

I have read almost all of the books and stories by Armstrong written in the Otherworld and I am a big fan, so when I found out there was going to be a TV series I was super excited. After seeing the first episode I was not disappointed, I quite liked it, even though there were some changes, but after some episodes I got really frustrated because they changed so much that, for me, it didn't make any sense anymore. People died who shouldn't have died and there were characters in the first season that you don't even get to know in the tenth book. I was really angry and told my friends that they shouldn't watch the series before reading the books first. (Somewhere around the eighth episode I submitted a review, which I deleted, because it was just on big rant) I did keep watching eventually, because I was still really curious to what the writers decided to make of it and there were some changes I did like. After watching the whole first season I decided I should write down what I ACTUALLY thought of the series itself and shouldn't compare the series to the books, since it's an adaption. The series itself isn't too bad, which is why I would give it seven stars, but I don't really understand WHY they had to change so much. The books have a very good storyline. I also don't understand why they had to change the characteristics of for example Clay and Jeremy. (Clay is not a sadist, damn it!) So that is the reason I only gave it six stars, the alteration of the story is not bad, but in my opinion definitely totally not necessary.

First, let me say that I never read any of the books this series was based on. I didn't even know it was based on a book until I read some of the reviews. And I only watched the first three episodes. That was all I could stand to watch.
Laura Vandervoort was the draw to watch the show. I liked her in Smallville and a few other things I have seen her in. I think she is a likable and decent actress. She was also the only recognizable actor in the cast and might have what it takes to carry a series. Watching Bitten was proof to me that no one can carry a crap script. All of the characters are poorly written. Everyone except for the lead( who I consider to be two dimensional ) is very one dimensional or are trying way too hard to be "Cool". Nobody seems genuine. The show is no better than a daytime soap opera.
So much melodrama. Such generic story telling. If you watch much supernatural movies or television, you will see exactly were this story is going. Most key character motivation is so vague that nothing makes sense. Not even any good nudity thanks to it being aired on Syfy, not that it would review any better. But, better writing and some extra star power could turn this show around.
Wasn't worth the time.

I don't mind this show. I tend to get a Twilight Soap Opera vibe from it but it's still pretty good to watch. There is so much drama and angst oozing from the characters, plenty of forlorn pained expressions and unrequited love. It's sappy and predictable but strangely appealing.
I would appreciate a little more plot development though. So far they've only focused on one aspect that probably doesn't need to be explored more. It just needs some new plot twists to keep me engaged.
Can we also just take a minute to talk about all the butts in this show. I mean every now and then is fine but I'm starting to get butt boredom from seeing them flashed across the screen every five minutes. Enough already.

How do you make a show about werewolves boring, apparently the answer is to combine Jersey Shores with Days of our lives. Serously, what was the idea behind this? I really tried to give this pile of wolf crap a chance but the characters are as uninteresting as they are expendable.
The main actors were chosen for their physical attributes over their acting ability and the plot goes nowhere. After 7 episodes, you could start watching and not have missed anything. The plot from each episode never progresses or changes, and from what I can tell there is no plan for it to.
Save yourself from the disappointment of yet another attempt to turn a horror genre into love triangle based bullshit.

First of all I didn't know this show existed until about 2 hrs ago. And I must say I found it to be pretty entertaining,with an abundance of supernatural shows on the market I didn't expect much and was pleasantly surprised. I can see the potential of greatness that the show sets up for in the first 2 episodes and can't wait to see what it morphs into. Glancing over the book series it seems like there is an interesting plot line for the show to follow if it chooses to do so and hopefully they will. It is safe to say that the Elena and Clay romance will drive the show to success above all else, I find them believable and engaging. There are things that can be improved sure, but I'm focusing on the positive. Bitten is a promising show, with an equally promising future....and with shows like Trublood about to end I'm glad there is another supernatural TV-MA to attempt to fill the void.
