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.
