I wouldn't say I'm a fan of MTV's series nowadays. Shows like Teen Mom, Jersey Shore or The Hills are something that I am not interested in and personally, I think they're crap. The shows they produce are getting worse everytime and they're playing less music. They should change their name to something else since they're obviously no longer about music. But I won't start talking about it right now.
In the past few weeks, I had some spare time to do some things I want to do. Most of the shows I watch are on break so I thought I would try to watch new shows. I stumbled upon this show called Teen Wolf. I'm familiar with it since it's on MTV and a lot of teenagers are going crazy over it. Although I was hesitant to watch it just because it's MTV, I still bought the first season and wondered if it's like those other badly-produced shows. To my relief, it wasn't that bad at all.
The story is about Scott who got bit by a werewolf and in turn, he turns into one. The only person who knows is Stiles, his happy-go-lucky bestfriend and Derek, who is a werewolf himself. Scott has to deal with his transformation, hiding it from his mother and everyone else. Complications occur when he falls in love with the new girl in school, Allison who happens to be the daughter of a werewolf hunter. Actually, her family is actually devoted to killing werewolves so Scott can't tell her the truth. But Scott's problem isn't safe as one of his teammates in lacrosse (yes, that's the famous sport in their school), Jackson, starts to suspect something has changed him. He must face these problems as he is hunted by another werewolf that is stronger than him called an Alpha.
The 1st season consists of 12 episodes so I finished it within 3 days. I enjoyed it to a point that I bought the 2nd season as soon as it was available. I finished it earlier today because it also had 12 episodes only like the 1st season.
The second season was about Scott facing new dangers brought upon a creature called the Kanima who possesses one of the people close to him. Major trouble also starts when Allison's grandfather arrives. We are also introduced to other new characters in the show such as the new members of Derek's pack. Pack is what you call a group of wolves.
The show's storyline can be a bit generic but I somehow manage to enjoy it. The lead star could use some improvement though. There are times when he would come out as whiny during scenes when he should be surprised or angry. His bestfriend pulls off his role perfectly though. The guy that would make you laugh and make a fool of himself without knowing it in a good way . The parents also are fit for the roles.Allison gets a bit annoying in the second season though but I blame her storyline for it. Jackson also appears stiff at times, most likely due to lack of acting experience since he used to be a model before doing TV roles.
The show is renewed for a third season but this time, the show has been ordered for 24 episodes!Good news, however, the new season starts next year and I probably wouldn't be able to watch it until 2014. Good thing I have the dvd so I can watch it again.
Check out the trailer to see what the show is about:
