    Good story line reminds me of two different authors work

    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.

    Absolutely LOVE this show

    Im not sure how I had not heard of it but one day while surfing through HULU I decided to watch the first episode and fell in love. Not my kinda series but there's something about it thats so captivating to me. The actors are good (not any A-listers but certainly deserve some red carpet!) and the story line is quite entertaining!! Really really really hope the show is not canceled!! Can not wait for the next episode!!I definitely recommend you guys check this out and see what Im talking about. Maybe you don't completely fall in love with the first episode but by the second Im sure you will be hooked! The actor that plays the beast is extremely good looking also!

    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.

    [8.4] This is true love

    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.

    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!

    • Trivia
      Jay 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.
    • Goofs
      The 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.
