The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The beautiful love story of Catherine and Vincent who share a bond stronger then death. District attorney Catherine Chandler is walking home one night when she is kidnapped by thugs, cut and left to die in a park. The noble, humble Vincent comes to her rescue by taking her to an under ground world full of magic and wonder.Linda Hamilton is a courageous woman bringing depth, beauty and life to Catherine. Rob Peralman brings sweet, tender and sensitivity to his demeanor making it easy to look past his face to his heart.When the power dynamic was thrown off when Linda decided to leave because of the hectic work schedule it became more action packed and the romantic angle for over the top villains that belong in Batman.Her passing was sad, heart breaking and left the show on a steady decline even with the addition of a new beauty and baby.There will never be another like it that has rich dialog, costumes, poetry and heart warming music. All three seasons are now on DVD to own and enjoy once again. Its a treasure

Corporate lawyer Catherine Chandler (Linda Hamilton) works for her father's big law firm. She's mistakenly kidnapped and brutally slashed in the face. She's dumped in the park left for dead. Vincent (Ron Perlman) rescues her and treats her in the underground world. His 'father' Jacob Wells (Roy Dotrice) objects. She returns to the above world and joins the NYDA office. She becomes a trusted helper to the residents of the underground world and feels connected to Vincent. Joe Maxwell (Jay Acovone) is a deputy D.A.It's a new take on the old classic. Hamilton is a compelling heroine. She has enough femininity to be romantic but also enough power to fight. The show is a bit restricted in its structure. The central relationship has one mode and cannot be changed easily. I like in particular the Gothic nature of the show. It is melodramatic at times and the romanticism gets heavy. The balance between romanticism and action is not always easy. By the second season, the balance is off. Hamilton leaves after two seasons and the show loses its raison d'être.

Dear Lord! I remember this as one of the most flawed premises for any TV show ever, and I'm including 'Home Boys In Outer Space' and 'Forever Night' and 'The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer!' So Linda Hamilton stars as a horribly deformed... alright alright, she's not the beast in this version. She's a DA who's more like a Lois Lane or April O'Neil a reporter who's friends with a super hero. She discovers there's an entire population living underground in NYC. No sxxx! They're the homeless! No, they're actually some type of medieval village population that's just living under NYC? The ruler of this medieval underground kingdom is Ron Pearlman without make up. A horrible looking beast! It's role he was born to play.The first question everyone asked about this show was, "So they're a kingdom of beasts? They're all beasts?" NO! Just Pearlman. "Why?" Oh, that's never explained! Or if it was people lost interest in the show before it was revealed. Much like the town of medieval people living happily under NYC it's never explained! So Pearlman saves Hamilton's life and the two fall in love while solving crimes in their spare time. If this was their goal the beast shouldn't waste so much time trying to solve crimes. He could just fight crime more affectively by mauling the hundreds of thousands of muggers and drug dealers in NYC! They don't have to work to find criminals in NYC. They're everywhere! For that matter, hasn't any homeless person ever realized, "While I've been living in the sewers there's an entire town of people living happily underground right next to me. Maybe I should move in with them." This show if fun for a couple of, "WTF? This was an actual TV show? Someone wrote this? These actors are working with this script?" moments but gets dull after a few episodes.Several reviewers credit this show for being "family oriented." All that means is it was made before TV got dirty. It also means their family has serious problems!

I remember watching this show when I was 13 with my mother. This show was a great display that two people who love each other can be together no matter what their circumstances are or what there backgrounds are. Further, although Vincent was did not look like the average man, but he was smart, strong, loving and had a wonderful spirit. Most women are looking for a man like him. What he looked like did not bother me at all. Vincent was always their to protect and defend Catherine in any way he could. Their bond was so strong that they knew when each other was in distress. This show was realistic and did focus on many issues that exist today. For example, both Vincent and Catherine had past relationships, but they unlike many people in the real world were honest with each other even if what they said may have hurt them. I watched every episode that was on Netflix, and I was hooked. I only wish they could have ended the show in a better way then they did. The acting was excellent and I wish their were more shows like this. This show was a great adventure.
