Wolf Pack

I am a huge fan of Werewolves & Vampires.

Been watching them for many years.

I am an over 60s woman who loves TV & Movies.

When I saw what this TV Series is about I could not wait for it to begin. I have watched all of the Buffy series' and all of the Angel series'. The Twilight Movies, True Blood and many others.

The premise of this huge wildfire awakening something in the forest, is great. Lots of blood and gore in the first episode during the wildfire and the wildlife fleeing for their lives.

The young actors do a great job and I am cheering for their characters' strength and survival.

I found Sarah's acting very stiff and her character very deceitful.

Her acting style hasn't changed much since Buffy but I am interested to see where this goes.

Looking forward to the next episode.

First episode, I wasn't sure I was going to continue on. However, I was bored enough to watch the second episode and then follow on through till the end. Even though it is a teen driven show I loved the slow burn of the relationships. Nothing is the instant love or gratification that we often see in teen flicks and it's kept me wondering how the villain will be revealed. The acting is to be expecting with young inexperienced and the boys are a little too good looking for reality but I love the adult actors. Rodrigo and Sarah Michelle are awesome. Worth the watch. It is dark and moody but entertaining nonetheless.

There are a lot of good things about this show.

The four core characters all have their individual personalities and issues that are very common among that age group but not always highlighted very well, so points for this.

The parental struggles of wanting to protect your children but not sure what to do and completely winging it.

Sara Michelle Gellar was my reason for giving this a go and I'm glad I did, her performance is great as is the rest of the cast and the storyline has a lot of potential so I hope the writers do it justice going forward. When I began watching I was on the fence and found it slow at first but I kept going and I was hooked by episode 4 and each episode since has gotten better and better.

I don't understand the amount of super low rated reviews. Most of the low reviews I've seen pre-judged the show and gave 1 star because it wasn't what they were expecting (I also noticed that many of them were written after the reviewer had only seen the premiere episode, which imo really does not give the show a fair chance). This is a teen show for sure. For people coming just for SMG, it is not the new Buffy, but that doesn't mean it's bad. The horror is on par with a lot of other teen shows that deal with supernatural/horror element, but it's definitely at a 13PG/14A level. I think the show has a lot of room to grow, which is a good thing. My only qualm is a want more SMG, but now that we're deeper in the season I think her role is definitely starting to expand.

Minor SPOILERS for Buffy fans: SMG's role in this show very much gives me the experience of a what-if scenario where an alternative dimension Buffy joined The Initiative for good and is using the arson detective role as an undercover tactic, cause there is 100% more to her character than we currently know at the ep. 6 mark.

Overall I'm interesting to see how the show /story evolves.

There are obviously people posting on here who just enjoy giving bad reviews. No, this show won't win an Emmy anytime soon, but it's solidly entertaining. The special effects weren't bad, and while I won't give anything away, the plot line is promising if you're into the supernatural. For reference, I watched the first two episodes of the show.

I'm really not understanding the people coming on here to complain about the show featuring teenagers or about werewolf shows having been done before. Um, duh - these things were obvious from the previews and any write-ups of the show. If this isn't for you, why watch it?

My negatives are the super cheesy sex scenes and the actors - particularly Harlin and Blake - being a bit wooden. They're not acting Shakespeare, though, so it's not a huge deal.
