History Series / Bitten

* ButNotTooBlack: Logan and his girlfriend Rachel.

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: They can be either bitten or hereditary, aren't affected by the phases of the moon, can become wolves at any time so long as they don't hold off on it, and can be killed by normal methods. They only become actual wolves, not hybrid wolfmen, but larger than most normal wolves because they retain the same mass as their human forms.

* RapeAsBackstory: Elena was sexually abused as a child by Victor Olsen. The trope is less exploitative than usual, as the scene where she reveals it to her boyfriend is handled quite tastefully with a discussion about how men sometimes react.
** Similarly, how Elena became a werewolf. Clay didn't ask her and risked her life, which caused the rift between them.

** Dating a supernatural creature without knowing about their true nature often won't work out well. Both Phillip and Rachel have bad reactions once they learn about Logan and Elena, especially since they found out in the worst ways possible. Phillip's relationship with Elena also led to his death, while Rachel ended things with Logan after being kidnapped.

** Similarly, before she is able to finally kill him, Elena's fight against Malcolm was mostly her being wailed on. A realistic version of what happens when a woman goes up against someone much bigger and stronger than she is, and who isn't holding back in a fight.

* VerbedTitle

The second season premiered in February of 2015 and was loosely based on ''Stolen,'' the second book in the series. The third and final season aired from February 12, 2016 to April 15, 2016.

* CompressedAdaptation: Season 2 has whole chunks of the book it's based on cut out to simplify and streamline things. The facility where Elena is held only contains her and Savannah, as opposed to a multitude of different supernaturals. Their purpose is to enable Aleister to kill all witches, as opposed to the book's purpose of studying supernaturals to discover their origins.
** The show also removes the distinction between sorcerers and witches, making no mention of the former at all. Half-demons are also unmentioned, having little part to play in the second book.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Roman Novikev ([[AdaptationNameChange spelled Navikev in the series]]). In the books, he tries to reach out and make connections with other packs. In the series, he has a longstanding blood feud with Sasha Antonov (who he blames for his daughter Natayla's death) and is more than willing to threaten the Pack for sheltering Sasha and his children.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Played with. Jeremy isn't the strongest werewolf in the Pack; Clay is generally considered the stronger of the two, but Jeremy has a lifetime of fighting experience, so a fight between them might go either way. However, Clay sees no reason to challenge Jeremy because Jeremy's true strength is being a ReasonableAuthorityFigure which inspires fierce loyalty in Clay and other members of the Pack. Since the Pack is able to work as a team, they can deliver way more asskicking than any of the individualistic Mutts, and thus they essentially rule werewolf society.

Clay is generally considered the stronger of the two but Jeremy has a lifetime of fighting experience so a fight between them might go either way. However, Clay sees no reason to challenge Jeremy because Jeremy's true strength is being a ReasonableAuthorityFigure which inspires fierce loyalty in Clay and other members of the Pack.

** The wolves had a hard time trusting the witches, and were often rude to them. Usually a side effect of having people break into their houses several times, use magic to literally blind them, and repeatedly lift them up in the air as an intimidation tactic.

The series stars Creator/LauraVandervoort, of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' and ''Series/V2009'' fame, as Elena Michaels, the world's only female werewolf. Elena is living in Toronto, trying to enjoy a "normal" life, only to find herself called back to Bear Valley by her pack. The packs are the ruling power of the werewolves and are being challenged by a rogue member of their species killing people on their doorstep. Elena must decide whether to stay with her family or try to continue living her normal life, all the while dealing with an increasingly difficult situation.

** Elena is the only woman to ever survive being turned into a werewolf. Averted in the sense that Rachel Sutton is a member of the main cast.

** Thomas [=LeBlanc=] is a violent SerialKiller and rapist.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Relatively speaking. The rebel Mutts' strategy in the beginning of the first season was to break people who were already [[SerialKiller Serial Killers]] like Scott Brandon and Thomas [=LeBlanc=] out of prison, turn them into werewolves and drop them on the Pack's territory.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Malcolm appears much earlier than he did in the books, as the true leader of the mutt uprising. In the novels, [[spoiler:he doesn't reappear until long after the events of the first book.]]

** Scott Brandon, the first Mutt that Elena and Clay hunt in the series, believes his powers give him the right to do whatever he wants to "normal" people. This includes a murder, rape, and killing spree across Bear Valley.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Dating a supernatural creature without knowing about their true nature doesn't work out well. Both Phillip and Rachel had bad reactions once they learned about Logan and Elena (especially since they found out in the worst ways possible). Also, Phillip's relationship with Elena led to his death, while Rachel ended things with Logan after being kidnapped.

* WallBangHer: Nick and Paige in season 2. Although technically it's against a tree rather than a wall.
