DVD/TV Series Review: Bitten - The Final Season

 


The third season of Bitten picks up about four months after the events of the season two finale. Elana is still trying to figure out the meaning of the vision she had of being covered in blood with Stonehaven on fire. Jeremy is still reeling from Logan's death and is trying to consolidate power and get revenge on Eduardo. The main crux of the story this season is the pack versus the Russians, headed by Roman Navikev (played by Canadian actor Daniel Kash who was also on the great 1990s show Due South). The season involves a blood feud between Roman and a character with ties to Elana that spills over into the pack's territory and threatens everyone. It pretty much dispenses with the witch storyline, although Tommie-Amber Pirie does make a few appearances.

For those who get the DVD set, while it is technically not a MOD set, it is pretty close to it. The ten episodes are spread across three discs. There are only a couple of extras, about seven minutes of deleted and extended scenes, and then a short four-minute featurette on the making of the final season. The episodes have English captions but the extras do not.

Overall, the season is good, but it felt like the series was canceled very late in production the showrunners did not really know if the show was going to be picked up for another season or not. Although, they did write the final episode so that it could work as a season finale or a series finale, which, of course, it ended up being, even though things were not tied up in a tidy bow. It felt like the scenes at the very end were added to give fans an idea of what the future of the characters held. Like the prior seasons, there is some swearing and sexual content, although there is not nearly as much sex as there was in seasons one and two. I think if you enjoyed the prior seasons you will probably like this one.
