Teen Wolf isn't the best supernatural show available but I have to admit that I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would and that's mainly because the cast is just about perfect. I'm a big fan of supernatural type movies and TV Shows so I thought I'd give this a chance and I'm glad I did because again, I really did enjoy it. I didn't watch it when it was originally on and started it during the pandemic. It was so good that I binged the entire series as fast as I could and it actually left me wanting more. Mostly because the ending was so bad but also because the show was that good. That's when great news dropped for fans of the show. They're making a movie that comes out in early 2023. I can't wait!

I can't believe how much I enjoyed Teen Wolf! I originally thought it was a going to be a show aimed at teens but boy was I wrong. I'm an adult male and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. It's just like any other good Superhero show but instead of a Superhero, it's a werewolf...but the premise is pretty much the same. I binged the whole thing straight through over the past few months and the only thing I'm upset about is that I put it off for as long as I did! The only problem is the last season isn't very good at all but still doesn't take away from the fact that's it's a very good show!

Like another reviewer has stated, when I first saw the trailer for Teen Wolf, I was totally uninterested. The only reason I watched the first episode was because it came on directly after the MTV movie awards and there was nothing else on TV. I was actually surprised by how good it was. The acting was good, the special effects weren't too cheesy, and there is something dark and edgy about it. I admit some parts of the plot are predictable, but then again, there are some things that flat out surprised me. The actor who plays Stiles is fantastic, and I think he is a big part of why I like the show. Also, Derek Hale's character isn't too bad on the eyes, either.

After all this talk about how this is a Twilight rip-off online, I have to say that I think it's unfair to compare this to Twilight. Let's be real, Twilight has horrible acting, and the acting in Teen Wolf is actually decent. And the plot is completely different in my opinion. In Twilight, the story surrounds Edward and Bella's relationship; In Teen Wolf, I think the story is more about Scott's transformation into being a werewolf and the challenges it brings him. Yes, Allison (his love interest) is a part of those challenges, but the story does NOT revolve around their relationship.

This show has a TON of potential, and I could definitely see them going above and beyond what they are doing now. But I am entertained for now and I will continue to watch the season until the end.

8/10

All the actors grow as the show goes on, but Dylan O' Brian is the one with a definite career. After part B of season 3 the, Stiles is by far my favorite. He's so funny and Dylan O' Brian has shown a range. This show is only underrated because it's aired on MTV, but everyone should give it a chance. My second favorite TV show!!!! My number on being Breaking Bad! It's gotten so dark and suspenseful since season 1. I promise you will not be disappointed. It's super gory and has lot's of blood so gore fans this is a must watch. It's also very funny at times as well. I think the scariest thing on the whole entire show was Void Stiles, without spoiling too much. Thank god MTV put out something amazing!!!

Don't judge this series from the title. Please simply don't. There are various potential open to further interpretation and this piece is fantastically fun! I think the producers should seriously think about updating the "name" though. Now Watch and Love!!

1. The story line is pretty much satisfying in the first season. And definitely improves in the second. Great potential awaits.

2. Amazing actors/actresses are discovered. Especially Dylan O'Brien (Stiles). He is awesome. Both Tyler s (Derek and Scott) are good including the rest of the folks.

3. The tension and curiosity manipulations and surprise effects works wonderfully.

4. Characters do develop through the second season. They become more appealing and sincere.

5. Writers do not bore people with unnecessarily kept secrets (like Merlin who hides his ID for 5 seasons from Arthur... *sigh*)

6. Most importantly, this show makes you want to be a part of it. A part of that world, their world. This is important.

Are you still here??? Go and start watching.

OK first off I'm 36 and seen pretty much everything SciFi/Horror out there. Add to this I'm a fan of the original Teen Wolf (number 2 i mean what the hell was that) also watched the cartoon series which I enjoyed. Also I'm not a fan of much if anything this generation done by MTV. I avoided this show even though a few people said i should give it go. So I decided to keep it for a rainy day. It started raining yesterday and I'm already on season 2!! Brilliant, solid acting , great effects and fantastic casting around. Season 1 has drawn me in for keeps. I was expecting cheesey teen angst type stuff but no. Its dark, moody with just then right amount of humour. I've got to give a massive round of applause to whoever is in charge of music as it is amazing. One more thing ... Massive kudos to the guy playing Stiles, he is excellent. Seriously give this a go, you won't regret it. If you do blame me. I'll even give you my address so you can come round and kick my butt. Although you'll probably just want to pet my dog and admire my bottle cap collection.( I'm joking, I don't have a dog)

Happy viewing people

--MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS--

The advertisements of Teen Wolf aired on MTV, or from my location, MuchMusic and I was skeptical of the show, thinking it was slated to be another Twilight. I am no fan of that film franchise that everyone seems to overrate, thus, I thought it would not appeal to me and grew annoyed with MTV about to feature another lackluster show, because the network doesn't have much interesting to offer in my opinion.

So one night, I decided to give the series a look while on the web, running behind about 4 or 5 episodes and after watching and catching up on all of them, to my dismay, I was hooked on this series! Now, I anticipate every episode that gets aired and immensely enjoy all of them, something I never thought was possible with any MTV program. I have to commend MTV on creating a series that makes me feel upset if I happen to miss it.

The show is loosely based on the 1985 comedy-drama film, Teen Wolf, where a young teen, wanting to be more than an average kid, has to cope with bearing the heredity of werewolf genes that derived from his father, and with the extraordinary abilities that accompany his life as a werewolf, makes him popular at school. I haven't watched the film factually, I only actually managed to seek out the trailer, and it looked pretty cheesy to me anyway so I couldn't care less about it or if the series followed its plot and characteristics bit for bit.

MTV's Teen Wolf surely has a darker, suspenseful and edgier premise, and being an avid horror fan, is the reason why I really dig this show. One recurring factor about this show is that it has a great, well-balanced amount of horror, suspense and comedy. It maintains an fun thrill ride and by every commercial and by every end of an episode, there is always an event building up. A lot of potential is definitely going for the series.

This show is about a teenage social outcast at Beacon Hills High School, and a lacrosse player at the school that spends more time on the bench than playing. One night, he is bitten in the middle of the woods by a werewolf while in search of a dead body he hears about. After discovering his unwanted inner werewolf, and the remarkable abilities he gains from it that help his normal life out, he is forced to balance two lives (hiding the werewolf one) and protect those meaningful to him.

Tyler Posey plays the aforementioned character known as Scott McCall and does a pretty good job acting the role. He has quite the charm in his on-screen presence and has nice chemistry with Crystal Reed, who plays his high school dream girl, Allison Argent. Dylan O'Brien is his genuine best friend on the show playing Stiles Stilinski, and by far, he signed up for a very colorful character that contributes so heavily. Stiles is practically the comic relief guy, who is there to help Scott keep himself collected from harming people during periods of werewolf rage. He's nerdy and suffers from ADD, but that doesn't stop him from being witty, intelligent and sarcastic which leads to some hilarious moments that Dylan executes splendidly. His lines and delivery are certainly top notch. With certainty, Stiles is my favorite character in the show.

Tyler Hoechlin is Derek Hale, a survivor of a fire that took out his family, is a mysterious werewolf in town seeking out his sister, Laura and allies and mentors Scott to help him master and control his werewolf abilities. A decent character so far in the show, the role is acted fairly. You also got Holland Roden as Lydia Martin, the mean-girl type and Jackson Whittemore, the lacrosse team captain played by Colton Haynes, both roles of which are being played pretty good.

Speaking from a post-teen perspective, Teen Wolf is a superb supernatural teenage series right now on cable television. I have to compliment Jeff Davis on this project as well as Russell Mulcahy, who added the horror element. It brings me back to the days of enjoying shows like Big Wolf on Campus, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. My only pet peeve is how there is only 12 episodes in the first season, I mean in my opinion, seasons should have at least 20 or more episodes.

Anyway, 8/10 from me for one of my new favorite TV shows.

Every season is great dont know why people are hating on seasons 4-6 there great season 3 is my favourite over all but the rest of the seasons are close second idc what people say

The first two seasons were amazing. Wonderful supernatural stuff with excellent story. Rest of the seasons are divided into two parts. The first half of season 3 was good although not as much as 1 & 2. The rest were so poor nothing happened made even a bit of sense. They went way too much with the supernatural thing. They brought in so much magical and unbelievably incredulous stuff nothing made sense, it felt like they just wanted to take the show ahead not caring much the way they are taking it. Banshee, Kitsune, Most of the new antagonists which I wouldn't like to name to spoil the things, were simply horrifically unreal, although werewolves aren't either but NONE OF THEM MADE SENSE. The moment Kira entered and the Japanese demons took over, nothing was as before. Should watch only first 2 seasons, rest you might like too, but wouldn't understand for sure.

I love this show very much!!! And Stiles Stilinski (Dylan O'Brien) is hot. He is so hot like whaaa. But Cody Christian, Daniel Sharman, Tyler Posey and Dylan Sprayberry are also good-looking. This cast is amazing!!

When I started watching the first episode, I didn't expect anything, cause I didn't know the actors nor what the story was going to be. At the end I realized it was quick, it had funny dialogues, it wasn't not pretentious and it was absolutely FUN! It's what was made to be! While Twilight is boring to death since it's kind of "ashamed" for dealing with Vampires and the fantasy world, by creating a non sense story as a fake background to hold the pretentious characters and to make it look serious, Teen Wolf is what Twilight fails to be, FUN! The character of Stiles is really funny and Dylan O'Brien I think delivered that role great. Tyler Posey is exactly was the people behind casting had in mind for Teen Wolf. The rest of the cast fulfills the whole team successfully.

Enjoy the show ;)

If you view this series as directly related to the 1985 movie, you WILL be disappointed. But if you view it as "loosely inspired by", and as a horror series where the drama is pretty significant, and the humour is more a side bit, and it's easy to see that this series has some impressive potential.

This is NOT your daddy's Teen Wolf.

If you're a fan of a solid story, fairly decent acting and visual/special effects that are not for those with a weak stomach, then this is well worth checking out. Give it a few episodes to see how well it goes. You might be pleasantly surprised.

If you are looking for another teenage TV series with no logic, bad acting and really poor visual effects this is series for you. I was deceived by high rating on the website so I started watching it, and I was not able to pass third episode. At best I would rate this as 4.5 but only on a good day.

Dylan O'Brien MADE this show for me! The versatility and range of emotion in his acting just astounds me. He'd have me cracking up one minute and crying the next. For him alone, I have rewatched this series completely through three times.

Look, lets be honest and admit that season1 Teen Wolf wasn't great, it showed signs of great humour, horror and was extremely inclusive in terms of some real life teenage themes. Again, it wasn't great but it showed potential.

Now after finishing it's third season, it is clear that, Teen Wolf has done something that not many shows have the guts to do, and that is, it has matured with its audience. The creator and producers behind the show have realized that people age alongside the show, that we are not the same people from season1 and thus they have enabled Teen Wolf to reach it's potential and beyond. Now we have fully fleshed out relationships, more adult and sexual themes (which c'mon everyone loves), some more suspenseful scenes with a fair amount of horror and still they have managed to include school into their lives consistently (something that is totally frustrating in so many TV shows). Plus the music on the show is awesome.

Don't give up after season 1, persevere because I guarantee that it will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

First time I saw the commercial to this show, I was really disappointed. Teen Wolf should remain in the 80's where it belongs. Why? Well... it's 80's cheesy to me, but I still love the film. I really thought this was going to be some cheesy rip off... oh how wrong I was. I LOVE THIS SHOW! It's about time that werewolves get the spotlight. No more Twilight glittery vampires that look constipated or stalk you while you sleep. No cheesy vampire brother love triangle with a girl that looks like a girl from their past that happened to change them into vamps. Don't get me wrong. I love vampires but werewolves are hard to make appealing because they are cursed with a curse that brings natural beast out of them.

It's not cheesy, it's well acted, great looking.. mmm werewolves (Derek.. my baby!), and the story is very unique. The more and more it goes on, the more I want. I feel so disappointed when each episode ends and I happen to scream at my TV because the credits roll and I want more.

There are a lot of werewolf shows that completely go dead because of lack of interest. Like for example 'Wolf Lake', 'Big wolf on campus' and I'm sure there are more, but I forgot them.

I want this show to prosper and show that werewolves can be sexy too.

My friend had been pestering me to watch this show for a year but I would always refuse. From the little I knew, I had only heard about there being wolves and an unnecessary amount of shirtlessness. Both of course are true but there is another element to the show that makes it different.

Mainly the fact that after season 1, they showed us another side of the supernatural world with all the different creatures like kanimas, kitsunes, notgitsunes (to name a few). Another reason being Stiles. Sure everyone talks about him all the time but him and his friendship with Scott really make the show. In seasons 1 and 2 he's the sarcastic, lovable comedy relief which something like teen wolf needs with it being so dark.

The characters all develop well as the plot goes on with some great additions. The running theme is always "who is the -" in each season like who is the kanima? Who is the darach?

Overall it's a really good show and my only regret is avoiding it for so long.

Watching this series for the first time, I had a pretty good time. However, objectively speaking, it's not a top-tier production. The plot centers around a teenager who becomes a werewolf after being bitten, gaining new abilities in the process. From that point on, Scott fights against various adversaries and strives to protect the city from paranormal threats. The series didn't need so many seasons, especially since the last ones seemed silly and unengaging. In my opinion, the quality of the show starts to decline from the third season.

To sum up, I wouldn't call it a good show, but I think it's worth watching if someone is interested in supernatural series.

Everyone should see this tv series. Not only for teenagers. Even for us adults. It's both have comedy in it and tension. It's very good. That's why it got so many seasons. Thank you for this series 👍🏻

I'm 47yr old Croatian who watch this show with 11yr old son. We are now in the middle of the 4th season and, while show would be rated better if given 7/10 I gave an 9 because it amazes me that MTV manage to produce such an interesting show. I remember MTV when I was old like my son is now, and only output back then was simple music videos. About the series, if you like beings with supernatural powers and action this is must watch. Nevertheless, the cast did a great job at evoking other aspects of peoples and especially teenagers interactions. If production had GOT budget rating would definitely be the given one!

So I heard about this show called Teen Wolf. My friends, both males and females, told me about it and said i should check it out. My first though was "Oh geeze, not another cheesy, twilight tween flick.." So I decided to check it out anyways. After watching it, I was quite surprised and much more impressed than what I expected it to be. This is NOTHING like twilight. Sure, it contains some of the clichés Twilight contains, but other than that there is no correlation and A LOT of television shows have clichés like the ones in this show. It also has an interesting story line that is actually pretty good. Although this show is actually quite good, it has its flaws. The acting at some times is forced, but for the most part it is good. The special effects are also lacking, but many good shows also lack this aspect and are still very successful (such as NCIS). I want to point out that I am in fact MALE and not female so this review is from the point of view of an average guy, not some girl who drools over these types of shows. In fact, this is actually one of the first that I am interested in. If this keeps up the pace and doesn't turn into a cliché-fest, this show could be very successful. Although at the time I'm writing this there are only five episodes, it is nonetheless an interesting and thrilling show that everyone should check out.

Seasons 1-3 of this series were fantastic and enjoyable, with some really great episodes such as Motel California. Sadly, the conclusion of the epic season 3 finalized the show as far as I am concerned. The writers could not get through the abscent of some key characters and unlike other shows where masterful writing is capable of filling such gaps, this was not the case here. New faces did not fill the void and bad chemistry entered the group, leaving viewers with yearning to the previous series. The result was an unwatchable season 4, and a decline in quality that would not be redeemed. The creators seemed to have forgotten the charm of the show and the magic which derived from teen spirited high school stories and a "monster of the week" vibe, which had turned into bizzar, unenjoyable and messy storylines of inconsistent monsters of the later seasons.

This show started out so well. I found it years ago when the first two seasons were out. Yes, the CGI looked pretty cheap and yes, the whole Teenwolf theme wasn't new or exciting. But the humour, the actors and the characters were just great. Of course Dylan O'Brian as Stiles Stilinski stole the show and the dynamics he had with Tyler Hoechelin (Derek, the gloomy werewolf) was just GOLD and drew in a big fanbase. Scott, Allison, Lydia and some of the older cast like Stiles' father and Scott's mother were phenomenal too. It all changed with season 3, suddenly everything looked different and so forced (slow motion scenes, really?). They added new character without developing them, got rid of old ones (they didn't develop that much either), it became such a mess. The story was always a bit strange and didn't make a lot of sense. In every new season the inserted then some new supernatural being. It was really ... unbelievable. Even Stiles coudn't save the show anymore. One of the worst writing I have ever seen. It's really strange how everything went downhill.
