Wolf Pack

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.

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.

It's not the best werewolf show but it is a solid addition to the classic werewolf trope genre.

It is a good addition to the post teen wolf/vampire Diaries/Buffy the vampire slayer genre of shows that have all finished. Nothing wrong with a solid werewolf show that follows most classic mythological stories while adding a new, modern spin on it. There is also amazing lgbtqa+ representation without seeming overtly forced.

Also Sarah Michelle Gellar is iconic no matter the role, existed to see what a second season would add to the story, especially concerning Sarah and her relation to the 'pack'.

For starters I haven't watched the producers other series Teen Wolf outside of a few clips though unlike some I don't think Wolf Pack is meant to be a spin off of the other series though they do share similar elements.

Overall I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed Wolf Pack given the poor reviews from many online critics.

The acting was decent, nothing spectacular but then again I doubt this series is trying to win awards. It's just trying to be entertaining and it delivered on that front. The story was nicely done though I felt some of the things surrounding Sarah Michelle Gellar's character were quite obvious. Then again I think would be unlikely you'd cast SMG in a werewolf series and have her play a mundane investigator.

The special effects weren't the greatest (I wish more supernatural TV shows used more practical effects, especially ones featuring werewolves) but overall it wasn't too bad and I liked the mix between horror and teen drama and I liked how it took time for the pack to come together given there circumstances.

I felt that the pacing was good given that the show was only 8 episodes I didn't find the series boring. In fact I feel like they could have given the series at least 10 episodes to help flesh out the characters some more.

The series does end on a cliff hanger and it is far from a happy ending so I would like the show to have a second season to see what happens next.
