Beauty & The Beast

Im Fokus der US-Serie „Beauty & The Beast“ steht Catherine (Kristin Kreuk), eine störrische New Yorker Polizeibeamtin des Morddezernats, die immer wieder von den Erinnerungen an den Mord ihrer Mutter vor neun Jahren heimgesucht wird. Das sogenannte „Beast“ soll an dem Verschwinden des Killers damals beteiligt gewesen sein. Neben ihrem Beruf widmet sich Cat jahrelang der Suche nach der Kreatur und findet schließlich Vincent Keller (Jay Ryan), den Überlebenden eines Militärexperiments, das katastrophal endete. Trotz allem tritt der Mann als bestialischer Beschützer der Schwachen auf.

Detective Catherine Chandler is a smart, no-nonsense homicide detective. When she was a teenager, she witnessed the murder of her mother at the hands of two gunmen and herself was saved by someone – or something. Years have passed and while investigating a murder, Catherine discovers a clue that leads her to Vincent Keller, who was reportedly killed in 2002. Catherine learns that Vincent is actually still alive and that it was he who saved her many years before. For mysterious reasons that have forced him to live outside of traditional society, Vincent has been in hiding for the past 10 years to guard his secret – when he is enraged, he becomes a terrifying beast, unable to control his super-strength and heightened senses.
