Bitten:

A
bit more intense than the Twilight series, but definitely
drawing some inspiration from that series of novels and films is the
third and final season of the Bitten TV series. Based on the
New York Times Bestselling book series Otherworld by
Kelley Armstrong, this season picks up a few months after the
climatic battle that ended Season 2. At times, a bit too
ambitious with its visual effects and a little heavy on romantic
drama for my own personal tastes, the last season is presented here
spanning over three discs and will no doubt please fans of the show
who are saying farewell to the show after only three seasons.
Bitten
stars Laura Vandervoort (Smallville) in the lead role of
Elena, Greyston Holt (Once Upon a Time), Greg Bryk (A
History of Violence), Steve Lund (Haven), and Genelle
Williams (Warehouse 13). The show centers on Elena
(Vandervoort) who is a photographer who is bitten by her werewolf
ex-fiance. At first, hiding her secret, she soon becomes a fierce
leader of the fierce Stonehaven pack - who go through many conflicts
with both humans and non-humans alike.
Ten
episodes make up the season including Family Of Sorts, Our Own
Blood, Right Behind You, A Quiet Dog, Of Sonders Weight, Rule of
Anger, On The Brink, Tili Tili Born, Shock The System, and the
season finale, Truth Changes Everything.
Presented
in standard definition with an anamorphically enhanced, widescreen
aspect ratio of 1.78:1 and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track, the show
looks and sounds fine for DVD, but could benefit to a high definition
upgrade and previous seasons had Blu-ray versions. All of the
episodes are presented unedited in this release.

While
nicely shot and produced overall, some of the special effects,
acting, and storylines are a bit cheesy and overall, the show gives
off a vibe that we've been there/done that in the werewolf genre.
I'm more a fan of the humanoid look for the creatures akin to Lon
Chaney version than I am models that turn into CGI, more
animal-looking ''wolves''. In any event, the short-lived show looks
as good as it can on DVD and is presented nicely by eOne.
