When Teen Wolf first aired I refused to watch it because I believe anything MTV airs these days is garbage. However, I finally gave it a try two summers ago and now it’s one of my favorite shows. Season 1 was light hearted with romance, humor, and several action packed episodes. As the seasons went on the creator Jeff Davis used unique, fresh supernatural lore for each season. Season one was about werewolves and the seasons after had supernatural creatures like a kanima, a banshee, and a few Kitsunes.  Unlike other shows and movies involving werewolves, the creator, Jeff Davis says that vampires will never be introduced at all.

                Teen Wolf is a show with strong characters that have developed in the last three seasons. There are some negative aspects with the show that I’ll admit I’ve noticed. There are plot holes in certain storylines that don’t add up. Some of the episodes are rushed together and poorly cut. Most of all a lot of the actors have left the show and a lot of new characters are taking their place. It’s extremely unfortunate when you get attached to a character that has been a part of the show for a long period of time and then they are gone; usually either killed off or said to be in a different country.

                I’ve also noticed with Teen Wolf how much darker it's gotten not only with the storylines but the actual lighting itself.  The seasons have gotten much more intense and twisted. With that there are more shadows and darker settings. Since it’s a show about werewolves there are a lot of scenes outside and in the moonlight. I think the crew has done an excellent job with just the right about of light. Do not judge Teen Wolf based off of its name and the fact that it airs on MTV. It’s based off of the 1985 classic movie “Teen Wolf.” There are parallels in both but they are extremely different from one another.  It is a great show filled with a ton of great qualities and i'm happy I started watching it.
