This review is for the entire series 1, 2 and 3..The series starts out violently a beautiful young Attorney is attacked due to a case of mistaken identity and left for dead..in comes her knight in 17th Centure garb..a Man cloaked in shadow his face shielded from those he does not want to frighten..he carries the nearly dead woman down below in a series of tunnels under the city..where his caretaker, Father (not his real name) a ex Doctor! But called Father because he oversees the world below and its dwellers..gently tends to her, her face badly scarred from the knife attack..her eyes bandaged to keep her from seeing where she is and what is around her..finally feeling stronger the Woman named Catherine removes her bandages she sees her face for the first time..appaled she cries out as her rescuer comes up behind her stunned by her own image she sees his image in the mirror as well cries out and throws something hitting her rescuer he cries out in pain then quickly leaves his feelings hurt..she hunts him down and their Friendship begins...she later learns his name is Vincent..they fall in love sharing a connections few will ever know..as their love grows so does the danger of Vincent, Father and their Friends and their world being discovered..Beauty And The Beast is a beautiful love story the ending is heartbreaking, I wont reveal it here sadly someone else probably will if they haven't already if you want to find out how it ends then please buy the seasons there are only 3 in all..Time for a piece of Trivia or two really, first of all there was a joke going around when this show was on the air that David Lee Roth was Catherine and Vincents love child..also Women were soo taken with Vincent they believed in his, Fathers and the under worlds existance they would get lost in the New York sewer system trying to locate Vincent...That's how strong the appeal of this show was..trust me you'll fall in love with Beauty And The Beast too!!Read full review
If you read the description of this series and even look at some pictures online, you might think that this is quite a ridiculous show. I'm actually 21 and discovered this series on netflix. I watched the first episode because I was bored and didn't expect much from it. AND I WAS WRONG! This show grips you in a fantastic and almost magical way. It gives you unbelievable hope throughout the whole first two seasons about love and acceptance. Heck, even I was in love with Vincent. The characters are way too perfect (and when I mean perfect, I mean that they were made to be "perfect"). But you're sold on their perfection and you root for each and every one of them. But one of the biggest things that sold this show for me (other than the impossible love story) was the way they used literature in the show. For example, quoting the poem Annabelle Lee or playing classic music like moonlight sonata. The show was so well written in that way. It made the show have a sense of class and gave it a magical/whimsical feel to it. A WARNING BEFOREHAND: Don't watch season 3. I wish I can tell you why, I even wish I can give you hints, but it just doesn't go as expected.Read full review
Loved the show when on TV. Happy it's now on disc. Music is very sooothing. The makeup for the beast is a little scary in this set but is softned in later episodes. Love the story. It shows the strength of love and how 2 people can share a beautiful love and not need a physical component to their love. It also demonstrates that people in love have a connection and can sense what is happening their loves life. Story can be a bit farfetched with a man that is half lion but there is still the possiblity that it could happen. If men can have babies then maybe there could be a mutant man. Violence is not always present but it si not very graphic. Would recommend to women who love romance stories with a twist.
I fell in love with the beast Vincent years ago on tv watching this series and I have continued to watch all of his (Ron Perlman's) movie's. If you enjoy watching a forbidden love story, with a mystical world that intertwines below your world (underground tunnel's) and Catherine (saved and cared for by the beast after she was beaten half to death,Catherine is an attorney in the world above the tunnels) they fall in love and work together to do good for both world's, then you will love this series. I am so glad I own and can watch it anytime now.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
I have waited 20 years for this series to come out on dvd. It was a wonderful show then and will remain so forever. I could sit and listen to Vincent's voice for hours. We all dream of finding that kind of love. It was and still is one of the best shows ever to grace a TV screen. I introduced this show to my daughter and she has fallen in love with Vincent, too. I had all three years on video tape and have watched them until they're worn out. Now we can enjoy this show for years. Thanks so much for bring it back.
