Bitten: The Series

In the process of watching ep4

Non-TF critique :

World building in this show doesn't make any sense. We are supposed to believe 'The Pack' with less than a dozen members has global influence (and control)? Laughable. As one skeptical reviewer of the book on Amazon put it, they wouldn't be able to control more than New York State (at best!)

Setting up Elena as the only female werewolf looks like A) a romance novel trope, as she is supposed to be the 'unique snowflake heroine' who tames the 'brutal rough man' (Clay) and B) a slap in the face to women in general - so all other women are just 'too weak' eh?

Loved the cheesy voiceover in the basement scene where they showed the 'Pack archive'.

Watching for the TFs at this point.
