A Bela e a Fera

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.

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.

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.

Beauty and the Beast is a show for romantic people at heart, developed beautifully with lots of sweet and bitter cheesiness on the way. It's a series where true love is shown, clenching your heart emotionally and making you dream, smile, laugh and shed tears.

• The chemistry and love between Cat (Kristin Kreuk) and Vincent (Jay Ryan) were amazingly beautiful and the strongest part of the show. I wouldn't be surprised if the two fell in love and were together for real and for at least some period of time.
• The storyline and plots were always interesting, with cheesiness along the way in a good way. Any weakness and plot holes were dissolved in their amazing journey of thrilling love, like sugar in hot water with a pinch of salt.
• The flow of the show was one filled with beauty, love, twists and emotions along the way both in happiness and sadness.
• The supporting cast and especially their friends and family (J.T., Tess, Heather...) delivered quite believable and lovely performances, contributing strongly to the emotional vibe of the series.

It was a fun and very enjoyable ride in its course of 4 seasons and one of the best performances of the very beautiful and sensitive Kristin Kreuk, which I'm sure was close to her heart.

Beauty and the Beast will always live in our heart, whether they are in the chic city of New York or in Paris, the city of love.
