Storyline
Ron Koslow's updated version of the fairytale has a double focus: the relationship between Vincent,(a mythic, noble man-beast) and Catherine (an asst DA in New York); and a secret Utopian society of outcasts living in an underground sanctuary where Vincent is protected and loved. Through an emotional bond connecting Vincent to Catherine, he comes to be her protector as well as the man she loves. The series follows the developing relationship between them and nicely fleshes out the underground world of labyrinth tunnels, mystical waterfalls, and people who have come together to form a loving and nurturing family. In a twist from the original tale, this "beast" does not transform into society's idea of beauty after gaining the love of Catherine. Rather, Vincent's inner beauty is allowed to remain the focus of who he is and it is Catherine's former "shallow" self that is the ugliness transformed by their relationship.

Trivia
During the show's run, Ron Perlman turned down countless requests to promote products in his Vincent make-up, saying that, "He's not there to be exploited." See more »Goofs
Continuity: In the first part of "Though Lovers Be Lost", Catherine stands on her balcony, waiting for Vincent to come. She is wearing a green coat. When she realizes Vincent isn't coming, she heads for the tunnels. But when she arrives there, she is wearing a totally different coat, and her hair is falling different as well.
