The television series "Beauty and the Beast" from the channel CW - is a remake of the successful drama ready eighties of the last century that it appeared a few seasons on CBS. For CBS, this new product will no longer fit on the format, so the show's producers to use ready-story and sold it to a smaller channel.

The girl with the past

Catherine Chandler (Kristin Kreuk) runs a detective in the NYPD. When she was a teenager, her and her mother was attacked, Catherine rescued from the hands of killers of a creature that she really could not see. Experienced a severe trauma, she decided to dedicate his life to helping others.

The murder investigation leads to Dr. Katherine Vincent Keller (Jay Ryan), allegedly shot dead many years ago in Afghanistan. Keller in reality is very much alive, but he is hiding from everyone, because the army was the victim of an experiment that turns him into a monster whenever he flies into a rage. Dr. Keller, Catherine helps in the investigation and are set between friendships. The girl did not tell anyone about the true nature of his assistant, supports him in search of an antidote. She believes that Vincent was the one who saved her that night, when her mother died, and then he can learn something about who killed her.

Genetics against spells

In the original story of "Beauty and the Beast", a monster has been imposed spell that turns him into a monster. In the new century has come to replace the spell genetic engineering. Actor Jay Ryan, who plays this very monster, apparently marred only artistic scar on his face, and turning into his alter-ego does not change so much that it could be mistaken for the beast.

This version of the show, like all such projects CW, different aesthetic pleasantness. The channel, which is a symbol of the past few years have been "The Vampire Diaries" and "Gossip Girl" offers its viewers the mystique and drama cleared of plaque dust and vitality. "Beauty and the Beast" is another product of this series, if the role of the monster removed handsome young actor, the role went to beauty Kristin Kreuk, petite and feminine actress who in the role of police detective looks quite ridiculous, but fits perfectly in the role of victim.

The script for the new series written Sherry Cooper and Ron Konslou. They are partially borrowed ideas of their predecessors, but they have managed to modernize the show, use your own plot moves and diversify the narrative that even those viewers who can remember what the movie was twenty years ago, found a something interesting.

Cardboard tale

"Beauty and the Beast" is a regular American protsedural with minor modifications. On the screen there are representatives of the police and there are private consultants, they work together to catch the bad guys and put them behind bars. The classic version of AMD is currently in the etheric grid - is indestructible, "Castle" and "The Mentalist." In each series, the characters are one investigation, successfully finding the perpetrators in the end.

Given the specificity of the channel CW, their protsedural different fantastic component - the ability of the protagonist - and the choice of actors with a memorable appearance in the leading roles. In the series, in addition to the main characters, busy Max Brown, Austin Besis Nina Lisandrello, Brian J. White, Nicole Anderson, Bridget Regan and many others.

Detective stories component is poor. Scenario longer develops around the relationship Catherine and Vincent, than presents any way worthwhile investigation. Fantastic power of the protagonist, his burden is not as hard as he tries to prove a forced. The story develops in such a way that the audience is literally reveal all the secrets in the beginning, and then try to prove that the soul of the characters is a real drama, that all this time they suffer with difficulty endure all the hardships that fell to their lot. This was done wonderfully, but not enough shrillness and actors skills. Scenes look strained and implausible.

The first season of the series "Beauty and the Beast" has twenty-two series. CW is in no hurry to announce his plans for next year, however, the channel is not so many successful projects in the works, so the novelty has every chance to get an extension.
