The New York Times

Jan 13, 2014

It’s all served up with a pulpy prurience.... And the back stories are doled out slowly, so viewers who haven’t read the show’s source material, a book by Kelley Armstrong, should expect to feel pleasantly teased.

Though it lacks the production value or special-effects budget of the Twilight movies, Bitten has a smooth, slick look and boasts solid performances.

Entertainment Weekly

Jan 7, 2014

The premiere could use a little more lore and a lot less angst, but a murder mystery in the woods might keep you holding on another week. [17 Jan 2014, p.61]

Jan 13, 2014

Bitten is mildly diverting while also being pretty goofy in spots--even for a werewolf drama.

By Ed Bark FULL REVIEW

Jan 13, 2014

The presentation of mythology and backstory, such an important aspect of a show like Bitten, is handled in a laughably inelegant way.

By Molly Eichel FULL REVIEW

Jan 13, 2014

If you are curious about the show, tune into the last 10 minutes of the hour, and you’ll learn everything you need to know. Right now, Bitten is a nibble of a show.

By Mark A. Perigard FULL REVIEW

Jan 8, 2014

While there’s a fairly dense mythology here, as adapted by Daegan Fryklind Bitten feels stitched together from pieces of werewolf tales of yore--undermined, in terms of casting its own spell, by TV’s familiar version of a pack mentality.
