I will say that I was not familiar with this series before I started watching it. But I'm a sucker for any animated fantasy or sci-fishow that says it is HD Dolby Vision. Netflix, on the whole, usually makes sure that these animated series look top-notch. I point to Arcane as an example. Blue Eyed Samurai is another example. Both are beautifully animated show. The Dolby Vision really makes the show pop. So I don't understand all the other reviews that talked about frame rate and being unwatchable and such, because I've had absolutely no issues viewing this show. It looks fantastic on my OLED.

As for the show itself, I was not familiar with the books or the story before I started watching it. I will say, it feels like they've left some connective information out or assumed that the viewer should know certain things. I don't believe the show is developed enough story wise for somebody who is not a book reader to completely understand the nuances of the show. It also seems like there is a lot of material that they are trying to cover in eight episodes. Eight episodes might have been sufficient if the episodes were an hour each. But at 30 minutes, it feels like they're leaving out some crucial plot points and background information.

That being said, I am enjoying the show. The voice acting is good and I would definitely watch a season two if the show does well enough to earn one from Netflix.

I was really hoping for a show about werewolves with an intriguing story and feral fight scenes. But instead, they made it much too kiddie. Which is a very strange choice for the subject material, people turning into savage beasts and fighting for dominance.

I didn't expect a mature series for teens to adults, but this felt very neutered.

To such a point where a werelord will attack someone and there will be no blood, no scratch, not even a tear in the clothing?? I'm not asking for brutality, but you can show some damage.

The plot felt very rushed, and I barley got to know the characters. At one point characters are crying for fear of losing another, but it felt like they spent a day together.

The plot and characters are archetypes I've seen many times over, and they didn't do much special with them.

The things I did like. I thought the animation was visually appealing. Although, the low frame rate can be a little off putting at times.

The idea of the characters are good. I liked the supporting characters, good to see some strong female characters. I liked how the more lady-like one could still pack a punch when needed. The world building has a lot of potential.

I've never heard of or read the books, but werewolves are right up my alley. But once again, werewolves get screwed over.

It's sadly just ok. I'm sure families will enjoy it, but anyone else will find it quite underwhelming.

This show is based on the 6 part Wereworld bookseries by Curtis Jobling, with each season adapting one book.

The story is mostly your typical YA fantasy adventure about the one true king trying to reclaim his throne. Most of the characters (especially the villains) are mosty one-note archetypes, and the plot has its fair share of plot contrivances. Where this show shines though is the artstyle and atmosphere. Every now and again there's an interesting bit of worldbuilding or a more captivating scene that got me going through the show, and a couple of the characters actually started developing beyond their archetypes, and i honestly got kinda hooked.

Netflix being netflix though, they only ordered 2 seasons with no continuation planned, so as it stands, only 2 out of 6 books are adapted and the show ends on a cliffhanger.

It's a realtively quick watch, but mostly because it's unfinished.

In short, I liked some of the characters, it's kinda pretty to look at, but it's over when it starts to get actually interesting. Still, if they ever make more, i think i'll come back. In the meantime, i guess the books are there at least?

6.5/10.

To start Netflix has shown us that they are perfectly capable of making entertaining, and high-quality kids television shows. I stumbled across Wolf King because every now and then I do like to check the coming to Netflix page. After watching a trailer I began to feel excited. Similar to the cadets show of 2023 It's always the under advertise shows that Netflix produces that are always the best.

I decided to start episode one as something to put on in the background. I was quickly drawn in by the very colorful, storytelling and beautiful animation. The story also adds to the wow factor of the show we've seen fantasy over and over again But I think that the wolf king does it right, especially for the main audience. It is supposed to be targeting, which is children. Parents can trust this show not to throw anything in their child's face that they wouldn't otherwise want their children, seeing unlike the dragon prince which was a phenomenal show, regardless of intended audience.

Needless to say, I ended up finishing The show completely in one sitting, and I would recommend this show for both audiences and adult audiences.

A really solid story and great animation offering from Netflix. I have not read the books and have no idea how the show compares, but it makes me curious to read them.

I see a few complaints about the animation style and the story development! I understand both complaints but I have to disagree... you can't always have every detail in a story. Though I would have like to have seen a little more relationship development between the lead character and his group of friends. The time period of the show seems as if it takes place over a couple of weeks but there is a couple statements that makes you think it is a much longer period. Those inconsistencies could have been avoided. But I don't need every detail of his origins.

I completely disagree with the complaints about animation. It was a choice and it works. The target audience is young people. Like early teens maybe... so the animation style is almost nostalgic for children's books and shows, yet of a quality lending itself to quality art.

Bottom line is, it's worth the watch whether you are 12 or 52!

As stated in each episode, this show was inspired by the book series, authored by Curtis Jobling. I read them around 4 times growing up, and to be completely honest I was incredibly hesitant to watch any adaptations. Was I wrong to think this? Not entirely. With Jobling as head writer, his strokes are present in the limited space of 8 episodes. And it's clear that his vision was mostly translated to the screen, which is frankly phenomenal when it comes to adapting epic fantasy. However that being said I feel that the frame rate of animation lets things down. I wasn't as impressed by the beast forms of some of the characters (Lucas I'm looking at you) as I should've been. Although saying that I will stand by the beautiful human forms, backgrounds and worldbuilding brilliantly communicated through the animation. Overall I give this show a 9/10 in part to hope for a season 2, so that the show can build off and really delve into the world of Lyssia and in turn Bast.

I've never written a review before, as I've never understood that if I as a consumer liked something, in order to receive more of said content, you have to let the creators and others know how amazing it is. My husband, our TWO year old, and I, were captivated by this series immediately. We sat down, started it, and didn't get back up until episode eight was over. We were on the edge of our seats the entire time, even my toddler wouldn't take her eyes off the show. We were all enthralled. It's beautifully animated, the plot moves swiftly and never leaves you hanging. You'll bond with some characters, and loathe others. You'll eat up every last crumb of this series and you'll still be hungry for more. Please give Wolf King a chance, you'll be more than glad you did!

"Wolf King" is a stunning work of animated brilliance that captivates from the very first frame and leaves an indelible mark on the heart long after the credits roll. This series is an emotional rollercoaster, visually breathtaking, and narratively profound, pushing the boundaries of what animated storytelling can achieve.

From the outset, the world-building in Wolf King is nothing short of magnificent. Set in a richly imagined, sprawling fantasy world where anthropomorphic animals hold dominion over ancient landscapes, the show creates a vivid universe filled with lush forests, towering mountains, and sprawling cities that seem alive with history and mystery. Each environment is meticulously crafted, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the intricacies of the design. The animation quality itself is a testament to the dedication and creativity of the team behind the show. The fluid motion, highly detailed character designs, and breathtaking backgrounds immerse you in a world where every frame feels like a work of art.

The heart of Wolf King lies in its characters, particularly the titular character, King Fenris. A complex, multi-dimensional leader, Fenris is not just a typical "hero" but a deeply flawed, vulnerable, and often conflicted ruler who struggles with the weight of his decisions. The character development throughout the series is both intricate and authentic, allowing viewers to witness Fenris's growth as a leader, a friend, and a father. His evolution is portrayed in a way that resonates on an emotional level, reminding us that leadership often comes with immense sacrifice and personal turmoil.

Supporting characters are equally well-developed, each with their own rich backstory and emotional depth. From the fierce and loyal warriors who serve under King Fenris to the morally ambiguous figures who challenge his rule, every character has a purpose, and their arcs feel both organic and impactful. It's rare to find such a strong ensemble cast in an animated series, but Wolf King succeeds in making each character integral to the overarching narrative while also giving them individual moments of brilliance.

The storyline in Wolf King is another triumph, blending epic fantasy elements with deeply personal narratives. The show tackles themes of power, responsibility, betrayal, loyalty, and sacrifice in ways that are thought-provoking yet accessible. The political intrigue that runs throughout the series is engaging without being overwhelming, and the personal drama between characters is handled with nuance and respect. The dialogue is sharp, clever, and full of emotional weight, making each conversation feel like it matters. There are moments of humor to lighten the tension, but the show never shies away from its darker, more emotional beats. It's a series that makes you think, feel, and invest in the fates of its characters.

One of the standout features of Wolf King is its music and sound design. The score is sweeping, emotional, and perfectly attuned to the tone of the show. From the hauntingly beautiful melodies that accompany the quiet moments of introspection to the powerful, heart-pounding themes that play during battle scenes, the music elevates the narrative in a way few animated series manage to achieve. The sound design, too, is impeccable, with every rustling leaf, crackling fire, and clash of steel adding to the immersion.

What makes Wolf King so remarkable is its ability to blend spectacle with substance. The animation is not just a visual treat; it serves the story. Action sequences are intense and well-choreographed, but they never overshadow the emotional stakes of the series. Each battle, each confrontation, carries weight because it is tied to the characters' motivations and struggles. The show balances moments of grand action with quieter, more intimate scenes, allowing for a rich and varied viewing experience.

At its core, Wolf King is about the complexities of leadership and the cost of power. It explores what it means to be a ruler, the burden of making difficult choices, and the toll that these decisions take on the heart and mind. It's a meditation on sacrifice, loyalty, and the weight of responsibility-universal themes that transcend the fantasy setting.

In conclusion, Wolf King is a masterpiece of animated storytelling. With its breathtaking animation, intricate world-building, deep character development, and compelling narrative, it sets a new standard for what animated series can achieve. It's a show that doesn't just entertain but also challenges its audience to think, reflect, and feel. Whether you're a fan of fantasy, drama, or animation in general, Wolf King is a must-watch series that will leave you eagerly awaiting each new episode. It is, without a doubt, one of the best animated shows to come out in recent years, and it deserves a place in the pantheon of animated greatness.

Highly recommend it!

The art is beautiful, and that beauty is what carried me through to the end of the season.

The plot, at a very high level has all the basics, and an interesting premise. But when going through the scenes, *all* of the main characters are unbelievably stupid. Worse, they're just sketches of characters. We don't get to actually know or really understand anyone. We don't even find out a key "were" aspect of one of them until the 2nd to last episode... and we don't find out why some that should have powers don't..

There are hints of intrigue that stop early and go nowhere, or mean absolutely nothing.

If the writing was an attempt to make it accessible to younger audiences... what we got was a jumble of half-starts and shallow excuses for random hand-to-hand fight scenes. I don't know if it was the writers or the producers that screwed this up; but I'm left with naught but disappointment and sadness for the animators.

My family won't be getting exposed to season 2, just in case the stupid is catching.

It's hard to impress this (almost) 7 year old. We decided to give this a shot and we were hooked! With only 8 episodes, they wasted no time getting into the action. It kept a great pace, and it wasn't too fast where we couldn't follow or had to pause, back up, and play again. There were just a couple of plot holes here and there, but again, 8 short episodes are hard to condense so much story into. Netflix has really jumped into animation, I just hope when they pick up stories from book series or previous works, that they give it the proper time to work it well. We look forward for a season 2!!

They did so well with the slight changes to make it family friendly and making things make sense! I liked how the characters portrayed almost exactly to what the characters in the book are like, making there be very few changes that are mostly in the plot and not the characters. Most of the storyline seems to follow the original book with some changes that overall does not change the main story. The only thing against the show is how short it is. It is not very long and each episode is only 20 minutes long. I feel like they could have added more or kept some from the original story to make the season so that it is longer than 8 episodes that are 20 minutes long each. Other than that, no complaints!

Some episodes were visually done well. Others looked like they were saving money. But I can overlook that if it at least has a good story. Which this does not. The story is about as deep as a baking pan of cookies and very rushed. The characters are in no way relatable or interesting because they have no story of their own. It feels as if they're introduced only as tools to give the protagonist reasons or excuses to do, well, anything. This is extremely lazy writing. Instead of actually building the world and having it be a part of the overall story, the writers used side characters to hastily push things forward. They don't seem to have much direction or depth to them at all. No explorations into their hearts, minds, or or lives. Just a another lazy reason for the protagonist to do something. And the writing/dialog? This is what I would expect to be able to write with no screenwriting experience. Having written my last paper 20 years ago lol.

Based on the Weereworld book series by Curtis Jobling, Wolf King is about a werewolf boy in his quest to defeat the lion regime.

The worldbuilding is the strongest suite of this series. Much like the books it takes advantage of the many types of werebeasts of folklore and mythology across the world, even if they're not one to one comparisions. Though they largely function the same way, they all have peculiarities that make the individual "species" stand out.

The animation is a kind of painted CGI made to resemble paintings, and occasionally the show pivots to 2D especially in flashbacks.

Overall a solid recommendation.

I read a few of the original books many years ago, and only faintly remembered them. Of what I didn't remember, was the characters acting extremely stupid. Characters don't talk when a single sentence would solve everything, and it feels like an artificial way to create drama and tension. Not to mention, most of the characters feel static throughout the show, and never seem to learn from their mistakes. One character in particular (the main supporting one you first see) is particularly insufferable, and seems to be part of the unfortunate belief that strong female characters need to be jerks to everyone around them. Not to mention, the story is very much 'tell, not show', which means we never actually SEE the reasons that the main conflict needs to happen. We don't see the kingdom struggling- just a few scenes with the guards. I actually don't mind the animation style and framerate, but I DO wish they had actually shown the transformations, since they always use camera tricks to avoid actually animating them. It's frustrating, since transformation sequences are one of the coolest things when it comes to were-beasts. I was looking forward to this, but I will sadly have to pass on the second season.

Interesting story, great visuals.

Great for kids and adults. I'd watch it with my two boys (8 and 12), both were amused by story and visuals in all episodes.

Must admit, beautifully drawn characters od young boys and girls that are main characters in the series. At times tense and scary, but also fun and comical.

A beautiful beginning, strong chemistry, love and rivalry between two brothers that is broken by the death of their mother and the revelation of the secret of the main character Drew, which results in the loss of trust from both the father and the remaining brother.

Worth watching.

This has to be the stupidest piece of writing I have ever come across. Every good character makes the worse decisions for absolutely no plausible reason. And they keep doing it again and again. Why ? Because clearly the writer cannot be bothered to put any effort in. It really is sad how bad this series is. Absolute garbage.

It was a fun watch, but it seemed rushed- there's a lack of a chance to really know characters and get attached to them. The animation style is different from what I'm used to, but is not nearly as bad as some of the reviewers have said. I haven't read the books, but I'm definitely considering it now- werecreatures are fascinating in any capacity. I do hope they make the series more serious in the following season - the rush of the episodes didn't allow for any of the peril or drama that should be felt for this plot, and I feel like they could go more in-depth with the lore and characters. There's lots of potential here, can't wait to see what they do with the next season.
