Give this a Chance It's Good For those of you who do not remember the first few episodes of Teen Wolf, go back and watch them. What major star lent their presence to get this teen story started? None I saw. Only the street cred of then-singular music source MTV got that series on TV, and the bang at the beginning wasn't as big as Wolf Pack's.
I grant that Sarah Michelle Geller, famous for her Buffy series, could have been introduced better, but that is not her issue, it's the writers. Her issue is the continued straight face she must put on as the only two episodes available allow, although I would swear I saw the humor and michief in her eyes once or twice. Work on that, would you Jeff Davis?
As far as the younglings go, this is an up-to-date version of what teenagerhood is as far as I can see (and thank God I'm far removed from that horror and heartbreak) so I feel sympathetic and somewhat confused that nothing has changed for our future adults after all this time. Puberty hurts. Some are sympathetic, some are in a coma, some rebel, but these young people on the screen are a good representation of the adults of tomorrow.
All this wringing of hands and outright condemnation over two episodes reminds me of network TV of old, where some shows were pulled after one or two episodes without letting them show what promise lay ahead. Come on, people, lighten up and give this a break. This is the land of streaming. And after all, this is Jeff Davis, the hero who led us through some crazy stuff for six seasons in Teen Wolf, and despite MTV's intrudence on the show with multiple commercials, some great fantasy and horror moments. Watch it again without commercials; it's fantastically better!
Just for showing up and giving us a basic start to hopefully another many season legend, I give Wolf Pack a hearty and hopeful 10 out of 10.
