Bitten

Some shows have such meaningless story lines that it becomes so obvious as to why they continue to be successful. Take for example the relatively new show 'Bitten' which is about werewolves and their internal struggle as well as the background lives of the individuals. However, what the show ultimately brings forward is one character at center of it which is Elena who continues to battle between her obligations to her werewolf pack but also her desire for a normal life. The show displays clearly no primary villain but a few sidekicks to the show. It also displays the protagonist not completely heroic either. The show primarily attempts to lure audiences by way of sexual scenes. One cannot but wonder that the reason why so many watch the show is to see Laura Vandervoort in the flesh. Such shows also epitomize the lack of audience tastes for shows and their relative success. Good stories often seem to take a back seat while sexually gratifying character sequences are used to exploit audiences.
