Loosely based on the 1980s CBS series starring Linda Hamilton, CW’s Beauty and the Beast is described as a modern-day romantic love story with a procedural twist. It centers on Catherine (Kreuk), a tough-minded NYPD Homicide Detective haunted by witnessing her mother’s murder 9 years ago and the killers’ quick demise at the hands of a Beast. After years of searching, Catherine finally finds the Beast, Vincent Koslow, the survivor of a military experiment that went disastrously wrong, and becomes the protector of his secret life as a bestial superhero.
It’s different take on the fairy tale compared to the upcoming movie adaptations of it. I haven’t seen the 1980s version, so I can’t really say much about it. I’m not a huge fan of the police procedural, but I am a huge fan of Beauty and the Beast. Hence, I’m willing to give it a chance. I’m also looking forward to see who else is cast in the show. I watched Smallville briefly and did like Kreuk. It’s nice to see her back in a lead role on television.
