    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I truly hate this show. I'm on episode 8 and I am done. I tried to like it but I can't. It went from boring, to bad, to downright disgusting. I'm sick of seeing people being tied up and tortured. I hate ever single main character - especially Clayton who loves brutalizing, torturing and killing everyone he can. Boring bad writing and amateurish acting.… Expand

    This show thoroughly surprised me with it's ever increasing intensity and intriguing plot twists. The only let down for me was the second season where it got a little heavy with the weird magic stuff however I believed they realized that and wrote a terrific last season!. Overall i loved this show and it will be sorely missed!

    I was fully hooked on this series since the first episode, the very idea of werewolves (Not as bloody teenagers, but adults is also fantastic) and mystery is just perfect. Mixing in romance, suspense and yes angst just make it a great show. Not to mention how great the characters clash with each other, making great chemistry with characters that help make this show even more interesting to watch.

    So I watched this with a group and needless to say we all felt the need to blast it. Yes the show is mostly garbage and complete festering dog doo. But there are a few tiny gems. Jeramy isn't casted badly and is a cool actor, clay can be decent when he isn't forced to stoop to the female leads **** acting abilities. Never read the books myself so I can't really judge how its following the series. Only that this is a pretty god awful show and needs to be revamped or something to not make me want to gouge my eyes out. Originally from a small town and no girl looks like that, has a house that geared up, or guys look that Nicklebacky.

    Though watching a girl who is supposedly supposed to be on the run from a band of serial killers and kung fu master constantly wear heels is pretty funny and entertaining. I mean like seriously man? Whatever just fap to her later right? -_-    … Expand

But if we want werewolves and action with dashes of romance then give the viewers what they want.

    I wasn't able to watch this show on TV but I did watch it on Netflix. Once I started watching I couldn't stop until I watched it all. I am hoping it gets renewed so that all of us can continue to watch. One of the things that I loved about it was how it continued where each episode left off.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I start, let me clarify, I am a filmmaker, an avid reader and a fantasy geek... So Bitten... When I first heard that they were adapting one of my favourite book series for tv I thought fab, this is going to be good... Then I saw the trailer, and thought ok, this is looking ok, I thought the CGI was a little rough, but maybe they were playing a little teasing it out to intrigue people. Then came the big day, I sat down, tuned in and watch the pilot episode. Now, every show takes a little while to get going sometimes, get into the swing of things, cast are often still finding their feet and their characters, getting used to working with the director and producers, so though I was not overly thrilled by the pilot, I thought, ok lets give it a few episodes. By week three you should really be settled. How wrong I was!

    Elena is constantly going backwards and forwards between Toronto and Stonehaven, which is totally stupid. The whole point is that she gets caught up by the world of Stonehaven, too much to think about talking much to Phillip. Also the whole Phillip's mother hating Elena thing? Cut it out, please!

    Clay? Well, he hardly sounds that southern does he! And he needs to get rid of the facial hair please!!!! Not good for him, also blond curls, ripped abs, muscular body, the actor looks nothing like Clay, did the casting director really not read the books before they started!!!

    Nick, well if they got something right, it was Nick. People tend to ignore him a bit more as he has less of a role, but the whole point is Nick is the go between for Elena and Clay who is his best friend. He makes her see sense when Clay has done something irrational, however, he is a follower not a leader.

    Jeremy... Where to start!!! Jeez, they got him wrong haven't they? Jeremy is meant to be part Asian due to his heritage with the Kitsune, revealed in a later book plot... But it starts here with his 6th sense for noticing when his family is in trouble. But does he have that... No, neither is there any mention of it what so ever! The actor is general fairly strong in other series, I have heard, but in this there is no Alpha in him whatsoever.

    Antonio ***SPOILER ALERT*** They killed him off instead of Logan!!!!!! Seriously???? Why??? Logan is meant to die, for Elena to see why she has to stay at Stonehaven and help track and kill the mutts.

    While we are on the subject of Logan ***SPOILER ALERT*** His girlfriend is pregnant??? With a boy? Why? Why cause this controversy?? Also, he's a lawyer not a psychologist and is not based in Toronto nr Elena... Also he would never have been able to fight of Karl in the latest episode (yes I am still watching, because I want to see it succeed but it probably won't) anyways... He would never have been able to fight of Karl as he is a seasoned werewolf and a pro and Logan is only young.

    Onto the mutts, all I can say is they are completely weird it is unclear at times how Daniel found them. Karl is most definitely portrayed the closest to what he is in the book, though this may be through the actors doing rather than the writers. Daniel feels choppy and bringing a girl into the situation didn't help one bit. The torture scenes by Clay and their aftermath are stupid in my opinion. Clay never regrets what he done, he protects the pack above all else and this is missing from his character.

    Ohh and the awful attempt at a love triangle with Phillip! Not the Vampire Diaries guys, please, come on, had enough of people fighting over the same girl!!!

    Sort it out, fire your writers, bring in some stronger ones and remake the whole thing with a better budget and more concentration on the book. Set the characters in this series, then you can start to pick the storylines apart like they did with TrueBlood. Notice how they stuck to the books fairly regularly changing it here and there for specific needs for putting it onto the tv. Why couldn't they have done this!!!???
