All this setup, and more, happens at the speed of light. But it's all easily understandable and gets us right to the real attraction.

Beauty and the Beast won't hurt all that much to watch, but the dialogue and plot stretches can add up to a lot of little ows.

A new but forgettable TV treatment for an old story, with results that look very "CW."

[Kreuk and Ryan are] terrible, but the material may have left them with no other option. Luckily, in this world of 1,000 channels, you have plenty of other options.

While the paper-thin revival might benefit from the presold title, its approach sidesteps any such dilemma--and as constructed, should be hard-pressed to get under viewers' skin.

The CW's Beauty is laughably bad in myriad ways. There's no sense of star-crossed lovers, just a plasticized romance between a Cover Girl and a glum, anger-prone male model.

[An] overheated, badly written, wretchedly acted and unconvincing drama, which makes mincemeat out of the traditional beauty and the beast fairy tale.

The series imeit interesting plot with not always guess the series finale and quite interesting start. Just like it did not go but buoyed humor . So if you are bored at night I ask to love and favor " Beauty and the Beast ."

This remake is not as bad as everyone think it is. The plot is quite interesting and is set in a city. When I first seen this TV series I had my doubts but after time it grew on me. There is also an interesting crew of actors and action can definitely be expected. Although I have not seen much chemistry between the characters yet, I'm hoping for this to improve over time. Beauty and The Beast is a show worth getting your head around.

It could be better, but it's not as bad as people is saying. I didn't liked the cast, but I think it deserves a second chance. I'll watch the next episode and hope it change my mind.

This show moves extremely fast and forgets to establish any of the characters. The two leads also have no chemistry and the story is plain. I do not recommend this show.

Not a strong opening for a new series. Kreuk's lack of acting talent really shows here and she is definitely not ready to have a lead role and being miscast in this proves that. Ryan on the other hand is more experienced and often does steal the scene but doesn't do enough to make the premise believable. The true to form great music that the CW provides is a nod to the other great shows that the CW does have. The chemistry isn't there between these two and the supporting cast are average at best. I'll stick around for a bit more with this but don't think the show has much of a future unless the plot and characters connect at some point.
