Beauty and the Beast

Ron Perlman playing one of the most romantic and fantastic Beasts put on screen as his face works magnificently with this type of make-up. Rich mythology. Edward Albert makes a strong fantastic semi-regular role as businessman Elliot Burch. The darker, depressing and long-running story of season 3 is engaging even with all it's faults. High quality writers help the show like George R.R. Martin ("Game of Thrones") and Howard Gordon ("Homeland", "24", "Angel"). Show has an acceptable ending too that hints on a "new beginning" and a kind-of full circle (at least it has no big cliffhanger). Very formulaic in it's first episodes. and the romantic story should have been played over several seasons instead of going straight at the core from episode one which made the love story feel overused and killing the flow of several shows. The death of a long-running important character opened up many possibilities but they should have written it as a kidnap story instead and letting it go over several seasons instead of alienating long-running fans and killing the show. Potential in stories and concept is even higher than what they managed to realize on screen.
