I always wonder…who makes these uninformed decisions??? Bitten was a great show. The acting was great and the writing was? Doable! Friends and I actually had a Bitten Fan Club….we loved that show!
Ok, It’s not Pride and Prejudice… but it’s certainly a step up for The Syfy Channel.
When can we expect to see Bitten start?
Love the show hope it continues for many more season’s
Please, please bring Bitten back ASAP!!!!!. I am dying here!!!!! The 2nd seasons production is taking too long and 10 episodes are not enough!!!!! I am a Bitten addict and have withdrawal symptoms. Watching the 1st Season over and over again is not enough anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Found bitten on Netflix and was hooked straight away, watched whole series 1 in 3 days lol
Can’t believe I have to wait for season 2 till 2015
Absolutely loved Season #1 Bitten, watched it every week. The characters are amazing….
Waiting to see what happens after Elena found Phillip’s head on her bed (personally I’d be changing the mattress now)….
Why did they kill off Nick’s Dad Antonio….he was pretty good in the show.
Anyhow, waiting for Season #2….

Please, please bring Bitten back on. It was a great show and we loved “Clay.” He is a hot macho man. We are so looking forward to it’s return.
I found Bitten on Netflix. I have fallen in love with it. Now that True Blood has ended I think this is going to be what we trubbies needs. Awesome show guys and can’t wait to see what Elana does with Phillips killer. Going to spread the word for.
