Wolf 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.

I liked this. The show features teenaged protagonists (who clearly aren't teenagers, but whatever) but is clearly not intended for an audience too young. The physical damage shown to individuals eliminates that, unless the US ratings board has completely lost the plot in that regard.

The acting was decent. The writing and direction managed to convey a lot in the single hour.

Keep in mind that this is episode one. Its purpose is to entice and draw you in, so I fully expect the pace to calm down in the next episode. I hope it doesn't though.

Shows take time to get their legs. So do directors, writers and actors. It has potential, and it has Buffy.

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 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.
