Dear Lord! I remember this as one of the most flawed premises for any TV show ever, and I'm including 'Home Boys In Outer Space' and 'Forever Night' and 'The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer!'
So Linda Hamilton stars as a horribly deformed... alright alright, she's not the beast in this version. She's a DA who's more like a Lois Lane or April O'Neil a reporter who's friends with a super hero.
She discovers there's an entire population living underground in NYC. No sxxx! They're the homeless! No, they're actually some type of medieval village population that's just living under NYC?
The ruler of this medieval underground kingdom is Ron Pearlman without make up. A horrible looking beast! It's role he was born to play.
The first question everyone asked about this show was, "So they're a kingdom of beasts? They're all beasts?" NO! Just Pearlman. "Why?" Oh, that's never explained! Or if it was people lost interest in the show before it was revealed. Much like the town of medieval people living happily under NYC it's never explained!
So Pearlman saves Hamilton's life and the two fall in love while solving crimes in their spare time. If this was their goal the beast shouldn't waste so much time trying to solve crimes. He could just fight crime more affectively by mauling the hundreds of thousands of muggers and drug dealers in NYC! They don't have to work to find criminals in NYC. They're everywhere!
For that matter, hasn't any homeless person ever realized, "While I've been living in the sewers there's an entire town of people living happily underground right next to me. Maybe I should move in with them."
This show if fun for a couple of, "WTF? This was an actual TV show? Someone wrote this? These actors are working with this script?" moments but gets dull after a few episodes.
Several reviewers credit this show for being "family oriented." All that means is it was made before TV got dirty. It also means their family has serious problems!
