Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniJan 13, 2014
Season 1 Review: Though it lacks the production value or special-effects budget of the Twilight movies, Bitten has a smooth, slick look and boasts solid performances. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerJan 13, 2014
Season 1 Review: It’s all served up with a pulpy prurience.... And the back stories are doled out slowly, so viewers who haven’t read the show’s source material, a book by Kelley Armstrong, should expect to feel pleasantly teased. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyJodi WalkerJan 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: The premiere could use a little more lore and a lot less angst, but a murder mystery in the woods might keep you holding on another week. [17 Jan 2014, p.61] Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyJan 13, 2014
Season 1 Review: Bitten seems aimed more at a mainstream audience than the hard-core werewolf/vampire crowd, which is okay. Probably smart, in fact. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Bitten is mildly diverting while also being pretty goofy in spots--even for a werewolf drama. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardJan 13, 2014
Season 1 Review: If you are curious about the show, tune into the last 10 minutes of the hour, and you’ll learn everything you need to know. Right now, Bitten is a nibble of a show. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMolly EichelJan 13, 2014
Season 1 Review: The presentation of mythology and backstory, such an important aspect of a show like Bitten, is handled in a laughably inelegant way. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryJan 8, 2014
Season 1 Review: While there’s a fairly dense mythology here, as adapted by Daegan Fryklind Bitten feels stitched together from pieces of werewolf tales of yore--undermined, in terms of casting its own spell, by TV’s familiar version of a pack mentality. Read full review
