Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

irishlady-15514 There's no true happy future or ending unless this epic couple can battle through destiny and survive by overcoming death, destruction, evil, revenge, and even themselves in this intense heart tug of war to learn to live together in the modern world while trying to protect everyone they come in contact with and their selves. Their love is what Will see them through!!! This is the love that every true romantic wants. People now days aren't commited to finding love and fighting to stay together. This world needs more of Catherine and Vincent couples. We need epic love!! The couple dedicated themselves to keeping their love alive when at every turn something or someone is always standing in their way. Each couple's strength alone makes some really great characters , but the couple's strength together is what makes this show intensely epic for viewers. I can't imagine why there was only four seasons. I was pulled into Beauty and the Beast so quickly and (although the ending was absolutely perfect) out so fast that I didn't want to let go. I can only hope the future will bring us more Catherine and Vincent characters. Truly Wonderful Actors and Actress !!!!! I will look forward to seeing what Kristin, Jay, Austin, Nina, and Nicole bring to us in the future!! Thank you!!

aileene-cotto The show blows. In the beginning it was great. But that the second season Cat became such a drag and annoying. I literally wanted the slap her. She act like the show is about her and he's the one that's a beast. Y'all messed it up with the whole journal thing. Two complete story is it about the journal or experiements. You messed up the whole concept no wonder you only lasted 4 season. Catblows! All she knows how to do is argue and get Vincent into trouble. Other than that love Tess and JT now that's what a couple looks like. Not Vincent being a little Dog after cat every she wants he does. I mean come on. He's a beast not a female Dog! Anyways she's worse than belle from TWILIGHT! Talk about obsessed! Bye and good writtens.

Mark Turner Back in the eighties a TV series took viewers by surprise, the story of a young woman, an assistant DA, who by chance met a part man, part beast member of an underground network of people named Vincent. This paring was known as BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and introduced the world to Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman who had both been in other films but found themselves more well-known after this series. The way things are today it was only a matter of time before that series was recreated.This time around Kristin Kreuk stars as Catherine Chandler, a determined police detective who encounters an ex-GI and doctor named Vincent who has a secret to hide. When a child Catherine's mother was killed in front of her by a group of men who were never identified. She was saved that night by a mysterious stranger, a manically violent man-beast who she never really quite saw.Of course that mysterious stranger was Vincent and he's made it his job to watch over and protect Catherine from the shadows. The reason he does so is that he knows who was behind the death of her mother. Vincent was part of a secret government project that turned its volunteers into what he has become and her mother was involved in that project. Now he's on the run from this secret government organization, in hiding with the help of one friend. That friend base increases when he finally meets Catherine face to face.Now in on what was going on, Catherine continues her day job while still looking into the death of her mother. She and Vincent become closer as he helps her when he can, even after telling her to stay away. This inevitably results in that organization finding Vincent and the ensuing problems that follow. And that's just in the first season! The series ran for 4 years to popular acclaim, winning more than its share of awards. Not an easy feat since it appeared on the fledgling CW Network. That worked in its favor and also added a needed boost to CW as well. The changing story found the couple meeting and eventually the romance soon followed which only added to the popularity of the show. It was the same formula used in the initial series but this time felt a bit more normal as Vincent no longer had the constant appearance of the beast.The series works on a number of levels, as a police procedural first off. Shows like this need their own twist to separate them from the pack and the aid of a super powered ally was handy. It also works as a conspiracy styled thriller with a hidden organization with its own agenda at play. And it worked as a romance. If not the show wouldn't have lasted as long as it did nor would it have drawn in the female viewers that helped push it over the top.While each season has been released in the past the entire season has now been collected into an easy box set that takes up less shelf space and allows fans to watch it from start to finish. Those like me who didn't catch it while it was on TV can check it out and enjoy the story. Fans can watch with glee. It's a nice way to own the series and the packaging looks better than those multiple boxes. If you never saw the series here's your chance. It's definitely worth watching.

jfcampinell A young police detective played by Kristin Kreuk, falls in love with a former United States soldier who is on the run from a secret government agency that turned him into a beast. I won't deny that the description of this show sounds terribly cheesy. Don't let that turn you away from what is actually a pretty good series!Beauty and the Beast is an interesting interpretation of the traditional story of Beauty and the Beast. Based on the 1987 CBS series by the same name, Beauty and the Beast combines science fiction, government conspiracy dramas, and mainstream police drama to make a series that is dramatic, romantic, and often funny. While this series is entertaining, it is often repetitive. Throughout each season, we watch very similar stories, only with different foes to fight.
