Teen Wolf

Plot synopsis:
Scott Howard is a seventeen-year-old high school student who is sick of being average. Living in a small town, his only claim to popularity is playing on the Beavers; his school's basketball team (which is very unsuccessful) and fawning after his crush Pamela Wells, who is dating his rival Mick. Mick plays for the Dragons, an opposing team who tends to bully Scott on the court. Completely oblivious to his best friend Boof's affections, he constantly rebuffs her advances due to their history together.
After a series of startling changes such as long hair suddenly sprouting, hands suddenly getting hairy, he decides to quit the team, but his coach changes his mind. Scoring a keg with his friend Stiles for a party, Scott and Boof end up alone in a closet and Scott gets rough when they begin making out, accidentally clawing Boof's back. When he returns home, he undergoes a strange transformation and discovers he is a werewolf. His father Harold confronts him and reveals he too is a werewolf, and that he'd hoped Scott wouldn't inherit the curse because "sometimes it skips a generation".
Scott reveals his secret to Stiles, who agrees to keep it a secret, but when Scott becomes stressed on the court at the next basketball game, he becomes the wolf and helps win their first game in three years. This has an unexpected result of fame and popularity as the high school is overwhelmed with "Wolf Fever", which quickly alienates Scott from Boof and from his teammates as he begins to hog the ball during games.
Stiles merchandises "Teen Wolf" paraphernalia and Pamela finally begins paying attention to Scott. After he gets a role as a 'werewolf cavalryman' in the school play alongside her, she comes onto him in the dressing room and the two have sex. Later, after a date set up to intentionally make Mick jealous, Pamela tells Scott that she's still seeing him and is not interested in Scott as a boyfriend, much to his disappointment. Harold tells Scott he is responsible for vice principal Rusty Thorne breathing down his neck, due to a scare he'd given him when he was in high school, and advises him to be himself and not the wolf.
With the upcoming spring dance, Boof agrees to go with Scott, but only if he goes as himself, not the Wolf. Scott goes by himself as the Wolf and has a great time. Boof, however, isn't impressed. She takes Scott out into the hallway and they kiss, which turns Scott back into himself. When they return to the dance, everyone pays attention to him, including Pamela. Mick gets upset and taunts Scott until the Wolf comes out and attacks him. His fans then turn on him and he runs out right into Thorne, who threatens to expel Scott from school. Harold appears and after sending Scott home, tells Thorne to back off. He then reminds Thorne of what he is capable of by leaning into him and growling, causing the Vice Principal to pee himself.
Scott renounces using the wolf all the time, quitting the play and the basketball team, who have come to expect it. During the championship game, Scott arrives and rallies his teammates to play without the wolf in order to win the game. Despite the odds, the team begins to play together and they make ground against the Dragons. During the final quarter, behind by one point, Scott is fouled by Mick at the buzzer. He makes both shots, winning the game and the championship to everyone's delight. Brushing past Pamela, Scott kisses Boof as his father comes down and hugs the two of them. Mick tells Pamela that they should leave, but she tells him to "drop dead" and storms off while everyone else celebrates the victory.

Review:
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Some people here might have said it's similar to the "Twilight" franchise, but it's only because a teen boy gets bit by a supernatural entity (in this case, a werewolf), plus he is captivated by the new girl at school, but that is where the similarities between the two end.
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.
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.
Also Shelley hennig is amazing 😳In between season Iv been watching true blood/vampire diaries but they don't top teen wolf in my opinion!
Every character plays their role well and the casting is perfect.Season 1 was great it was action packed and had a brilliant story line and perfect music, season 2 it just got better and better, introducing other characters, but not too many to go over the top (like vampire diaries did).
so i have just finished watching the first season of teen wolf (12 episodes) and i can tell you that it is entertaining, it has romance, comedy, action and some drama in it.
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.
This is a series for people who love typical high school movies,but with an grownup story,all from the first episode it gets you involved ,laughter ,scare,tension!Every episode gives you questions of what happens next?
I had a potential once, to be a professional critic, but I did engineering as a profession, and I am very happy with that.The creator(s), I do hope it's only of them, because the person (creator) needs to work overtime to improve this cheesy soap for teens, I fear that the show will last only for a while until other series start showing in September, and I am talking shows like House, Supernatural, Fringe and other TV series that up their game, creatively and consistently.Let's be honest when giving ratings to TV shows, if you like the show just because your favourite actors are in it and you enjoy just looking at them, that's fine (never mind the dialogue attitude), but when it comes to rate, please try to do it as if they were not your favourites, let's have consistency in rating as well on the site, because we want people to watch these shows but if the materials are not up-to-standard, share that as well.I was going to give it 5, but the rating seems to have been rigged by teens and adults with teen-brain, or tiny brain!.
The show may not have the best special effects in the world, and not all the actors seem to be giving it there best some times but the story is good and that's what I look for in movies and TV shows..
The plots seem to grow more intricate each episode (even though good parts of it are still relatively cliché - thank god the combination of elements can make you forget that somewhat).This is not the best show ever, but for anyone who likes genre shows and has an affinity for teen drama, this show is worth a go.
MTV's new "Teen Wolf" television series is darker, edgier, moodier, and much more in line with today's youth culture's fascination with dark and brooding anti-heroes.
I had made it my determination long ago going into "Teen Wolf" that if the lead character took his shirt off just once to pose and flaunt a ripped abdomen, I'd be changing the channel right away (thanks a lot, Taylor).Thankfully the few times that socially awkward high school lacrosse player Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) does take his shirt off, it's only when he's changing his clothes in the locker room, and the camera doesn't linger for a few seconds longer on his ripped pectorals than it should.
(You have to hand it to MTV when they allow its characters to directly reference the original 1941 "The Wolf Man" with Lon Chaney, Jr.; see a particularly interesting sequence in the second episode involving the plant wolfsbane for details.)At first, he does use his abilities to improve his standing on his lacrosse team and at his school, wowing his teammates - especially best pal, fellow outcast, and comedy relief Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) - but also winning the affections of pretty popular girl Allison Argent (Crystal Reed).
But a brutal murder and the mysterious lycanthrope named Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin) prove to Scott that a lot more of the supernatural is going on his town than he imagined."Teen Wolf," like most of today's television programming, is incredibly slick and incredibly well-made and well-acted (for this type of material).
(P.S.: The appearance of "Mortal Kombat's" Linden Ashby in a key supporting role also solidifies this series in "B"-movie territory.) And the transformation sequences are quite interesting, but nothing to really write home about (especially when considering the great achievements of Rick Baker when he did the Oscar-winning special effects work in the landmark horror-comedy "An American Werewolf in London" 30 years ago in 1981).Tyler Posey is good as the serially tormented young protagonist Scott McCall.
I'm typically not a fan of all the vampire "fantasy" shows and movies, but I enjoyed the old Teen Wolf movie so I decided to watch the show.
The writing in this show is very bad and characters are plain unlikable, poorly developed, and completely unbelievable (I'm not talking about the premise, but rather they way characters behave).That said, I did notice that most of the people who like this stuff tend to be female and middle age (basically, perverts).
I am only a teen so of course I probably like it more than my parents, but it is a really good watch.
When I first saw the trailer for Teen Wolf, I wasn't too interested because I thought it is rather similar to other young adult fantasy TV series such as The Vampire Diaries, which I gave up watching after about ten minutes - I have no idea why, since I normally like this kind of stuff.After two episodes, though, I realized that I was wrong.
All the special effects are good, the acting is great, the story is fast moving and tense, the atmosphere building is fantastic.Overall, after eighty minutes of watching, Teen Wolf has became one of my favourite TV series..
I started watching it thinking that wow finally after a long time something related to werewolves.First disappointment was the protagonist and his not so good looking girlfriend, along with his stupid looking best friend who is suppose to be a comic character but not very funny.Then comes the plot...
I started watching this series to kill my time , as a waiting period for vampire diaries , but than i just grew fonder of two characters , chill i am not talking about the main lead , I so love Derek & i am not just talking about his body , ha ha ha ,but he is got that serious and sad look in his eyes that just makes me fall for him , and the other one is Stiles , he is freaking genius & has got amazing sense of humor , well this series is full of mystery , teen drama , romance & ACTION ,& it has got twist at the end of each episode , So for all those who have got a thing for Supernatural stuff & also want to compensate the waiting time period of vampire diaries , go watch TEEN WOLF , I must say it brought me closer to werewolves .....
I decided to watch it because you never know, it could be the best thing you've ever seen (like me and Being Human.) Overall, it's not that bad, but not amazing.
Not amazing, I admit, but enough to hold me for an episode or two.I waned a little through the first series, with the "teen romance drama" getting a bit boring and repetitive, but a varied cast of side-characters kept me going.The final episode of the first series was good, not great.
With all the showings, and the decent storyline it will allow a fan base to keep growing.The bottom line is that this show will bring out your imagination and inspire creativity as you wonder what will come on the next episode of Teen wolf..
Scott McCall (played by Tyler Posey), the main character, is mostly believable but every once in a while his representation seems to come up short - I think this more of a directing issue than Posey's skills as an actor.A good watch if you don't make too many comparisons and remember the Lacrosse!.
And after watching it some more I realized this is not twilight it's actually some real werewolf action blood and guts no pretty boy or vampires sparkling (not that I don't like vampires ).
so after all of that I got really pumped and excited to actually watched this show and I really enjoy it and can't wait for the next episode to come out each time now I do have to admit that some times it does appear to be not good acting or fake but most of the time it's a funny action sexy real show.
But after looking at rating I get worried that the show might not go on which I will be really upset about (which happened when I was watching Kyle xy)but then again the ratings are climbing so I hope it keeps going they seem to have a really great crew most just starting out but I think this will be a great series!
I am a older adult male, and I happen to like sci-fi shows.I resisted watching teen wolf because I thought it was going to be a comedy of sorts, based on the Teen Wolf movies.
At times though.....it felt as though MTV was trying to force teen sex issues down our throats, and it made me feel a bit alienated.Anyway......typically during each season we got to see Alpha Scott McCall accomplish another feat in his evolution.
I binge watched two seasons in a weekend and have been to several teen wolf conventions (just to show how much I really did love it)Unfortunately though since then its being going down hill.
They're good at acting, especially the scene stealing Dylan O'Brien, who plays Stiles, the main character's best friend.
I never expected this series to be so amazing and now I am watching 3rd Season .
Well when they started this show on MTV my sisters were like its gonna be awesome and i was like its gonna be just okay.But when i started watching it i just couldn't wait for the next episode So i'm guessing i'm saying that TEEN WOLF is amazing.But out of 10 i'll give it a 6..
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.
I think the only thing I'll say is that Teen Wolf has momentarily had a small tendency to throw possible plot lines and characters away, but it doesn't stop this show from being one of my favourites..
Really enjoyed the first 2 seasons as they were on sky and i watched in 2011 season 3 was brilliant best season yet and after that, the series became to "girly" for me no offense but the kissing scenes were made out to be the major part in an episode and this really bugged me as the action died down.since MTV took over i would say the seasons got worse which is a shame because the films were good.overall 8/10.
Teen Wolf is actually a great series.
This is best thing i ever watched i suggest you to watch this amazing thing, starting with first episode i literally felt in love with Lydia character she is beautiful, full with life, amazing girl and in one moment it all crashes she becomes crazy but she still continues to give everybody positive energy till the end of their adventure, Mailia is always there with her half pessimistic ideas which are making all series wonderful, Scott and Stiles are showing what is real friendship, we can learn so much from this..
I've never been that person who was interested in watching TV shows but TEEN WOLF keeps me guessing.
I finally feel like I have something to look forward to when I get home I get to watch teen wolf and it makes me excited.
The show Teen Wolf(2011) had many captivating characters and plot twists for the duration of three seasons.
I didn't expect to like this series, I mean Teens and Wolfs?
Although it tells the story of group of Teenagers, it is probably on the DARK side instead of the other joyful teen series The Characters are great and makes a connection with you after a while and you just can't stop watching it.
If you're thinking on whether to watch Teen Wolf or not, definitely do!
I looked up on google, shows like Pretty little Liars and Teen Wolf popped up, so I thought "okay i'll try it out".
Stiles Stilinski's and Scott McCall's friendship is very well acted, I love how their outside friendship shows in Teen Wolf.
The concept of werewolves and shows have spread so much that you find it difficult to fathom which one is the best, Trust me when i say this, I have watched almost all of them and this is the show which I Love.Waiting for the next season, Rated this 9 because I feel the show deserves and all the cast and crew.Been watching werewolf series for quite sometime now, but this one is the best so far.Scott McCall is perfect for the role.Many people died, that's hurting, But the show must have some emotions too right.I feel like its been decades since the show stopped, Please start it soon.Thanks..
-If you are yet to watch the series, then my suggestion start from season 1 episode 1.
When I first saw this I was like, "Great, another lame stupid teen show like the Vampire Diaries(which I love now by the way because I gave it a chance)." when I watched the first episode, I thought it was a little weird and lame.
