Teen Wolf

I can't believe how much I enjoyed Teen Wolf! I originally thought it was a going to be a show aimed at teens but boy was I wrong. I'm an adult male and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. It's just like any other good Superhero show but instead of a Superhero, it's a werewolf...but the premise is pretty much the same. I binged the whole thing straight through over the past few months and the only thing I'm upset about is that I put it off for as long as I did! The only problem is the last season isn't very good at all but still doesn't take away from the fact that's it's a very good show!

Don't judge this series from the title. Please simply don't. There are various potential open to further interpretation and this piece is fantastically fun! I think the producers should seriously think about updating the "name" though. Now Watch and Love!!

1. The story line is pretty much satisfying in the first season. And definitely improves in the second. Great potential awaits.

2. Amazing actors/actresses are discovered. Especially Dylan O'Brien (Stiles). He is awesome. Both Tyler s (Derek and Scott) are good including the rest of the folks.

3. The tension and curiosity manipulations and surprise effects works wonderfully.

4. Characters do develop through the second season. They become more appealing and sincere.

5. Writers do not bore people with unnecessarily kept secrets (like Merlin who hides his ID for 5 seasons from Arthur... *sigh*)

6. Most importantly, this show makes you want to be a part of it. A part of that world, their world. This is important.

Are you still here??? Go and start watching.

Teen Wolf isn't the best supernatural show available but I have to admit that I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would and that's mainly because the cast is just about perfect. I'm a big fan of supernatural type movies and TV Shows so I thought I'd give this a chance and I'm glad I did because again, I really did enjoy it. I didn't watch it when it was originally on and started it during the pandemic. It was so good that I binged the entire series as fast as I could and it actually left me wanting more. Mostly because the ending was so bad but also because the show was that good. That's when great news dropped for fans of the show. They're making a movie that comes out in early 2023. I can't wait!

Like another reviewer has stated, when I first saw the trailer for Teen Wolf, I was totally uninterested. The only reason I watched the first episode was because it came on directly after the MTV movie awards and there was nothing else on TV. I was actually surprised by how good it was. The acting was good, the special effects weren't too cheesy, and there is something dark and edgy about it. I admit some parts of the plot are predictable, but then again, there are some things that flat out surprised me. The actor who plays Stiles is fantastic, and I think he is a big part of why I like the show. Also, Derek Hale's character isn't too bad on the eyes, either.

After all this talk about how this is a Twilight rip-off online, I have to say that I think it's unfair to compare this to Twilight. Let's be real, Twilight has horrible acting, and the acting in Teen Wolf is actually decent. And the plot is completely different in my opinion. In Twilight, the story surrounds Edward and Bella's relationship; In Teen Wolf, I think the story is more about Scott's transformation into being a werewolf and the challenges it brings him. Yes, Allison (his love interest) is a part of those challenges, but the story does NOT revolve around their relationship.

This show has a TON of potential, and I could definitely see them going above and beyond what they are doing now. But I am entertained for now and I will continue to watch the season until the end.

8/10

My friend had been pestering me to watch this show for a year but I would always refuse. From the little I knew, I had only heard about there being wolves and an unnecessary amount of shirtlessness. Both of course are true but there is another element to the show that makes it different.

Mainly the fact that after season 1, they showed us another side of the supernatural world with all the different creatures like kanimas, kitsunes, notgitsunes (to name a few). Another reason being Stiles. Sure everyone talks about him all the time but him and his friendship with Scott really make the show. In seasons 1 and 2 he's the sarcastic, lovable comedy relief which something like teen wolf needs with it being so dark.

The characters all develop well as the plot goes on with some great additions. The running theme is always "who is the -" in each season like who is the kanima? Who is the darach?

Overall it's a really good show and my only regret is avoiding it for so long.
