I originally read the Kelley Armstrong Book "Bitten - Otherworld 1" about 5 years ago and was impressed with the way the characters unfolded in the book.
And as with anyone who reads a good book you try to visualize what you read, and because of this you tend to be disappointed with the transition between book and screen.
To my great surprise this first episode has followed and brought to life the original work,and moreover has kept true to the written word unlike many other book to TV attempts in the past.
I look forward to watching this series unfold and hope that i can say the same of the future episodes.
I would caution parents as some of the future content if it follows the book may need to be viewed before allowing children to see it first.
But above all any lover of very well written stories this is a must view and i can only recommend that you accompany the series with the original book.
