	Author	Review
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"Ms. Kreuk and Nina Lisandrello, as her police force partner, are unconvincing as detectives. But the pilot's hint of a connection between the beast's condition and the murder of Catherine's mother offers the promise of future depth"	NEU
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"'Beauty and the Beast's' pilot is rarely more than competent, sometimes stubbed-toe clumsy. But if it can hang around for a while, devise a style that matches its story, and tap its stars' sincerity, it could become a cult hit: perpetually underrated but loved"	NEU
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"A new but forgettable TV treatment for an old story, with results that look very CW"	NEU
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"It is all so dreadfully familiar--the lovely, headstrong and feisty heroine, the nice guy who wants her (...) and the broken bad boy she loves instead. The only point of light is provided by Catherine's partner, Tess"	NEU
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"[Kreuk and Ryan are] terrible, but the material may have left them with no other option. Luckily, in this world of 1,000 channels, you have plenty of other options. Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"A hilariously bad remake of the original, substituting the amazingly gorgeous Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan in the title roles, which is how The CW rolls"	NEG
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"The original 'Beast' was a beauty. This one's a bust"	NEG
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"[An] overheated, badly written, wretchedly acted and unconvincing drama"	NEG
