A Good Start, But I'm Not Gonna Like Scott's Girlfriend That Much.

7.5

By SeunghaJo, Dec 15, 2011

Actually, isn't it too early for Scott to be bitten by a werewolf after 5 minutes of the episode premiere? BTW, I'm kind of not liking Allison Argent. She kind of always look TOO NICE. I don't know why Scott is into her during her first day at Beacon Hills. He even ask her to go with him to a party and.. she just accepted it while giving him a "cute" smile. Normally, I would always write about first meetings with anyone is NOT ALWAYS PERFECT. Seriously, it's TOO PERFECT to me and I feel a strong dislike towards this situation. Despite this review, I'm looking forward to this series as I'm into some dark drama going on in Beacon Hills. And, maybe looking forward to see (hot) boys on the show.moreless

This episode was very entertaining but had some stereotypical aspects that I didn't like.

7.0

By SweetMissJaye, Nov 01, 2011

I was really looking forward to this show after all the MTV hype. I found the episode good but it didn't live up to all the hype. I really like Tyler Posey. I think he has serious potential as an actor. Most of the other actors were decent as well. I didn't like, however, the teen movie stereotypes that ended up on this show. The shy little outcast that all of a sudden becomes a star (even though we know he becomes a star because he becomes a werewolf). The stereotypical jock who is a jerk. The stereotypical coach who is also a jerk. These are not original characters. There should have been something to make them stand out. I was ready to turn the TV when the best friend yelled "That's my friend!" when Scott made an impressive play on the field. (How many times have we seen something similar on television or in movies?) This show needs more originality if it's going to be great. I haven't even seen the second episode yet because it just didn't leave me curious to see more.moreless

Wolf Moon

8.0

By TrueTvWatcher, Aug 22, 2011

Wolf Moon was a great premiere episode of the re-imagined series of Teen Wolf. I really enjoyed watching this episode because it started out getting right to the point. There were lots of great scenes, the characters are all positioned and played well, and the story moves at a good pace. I liked the action, especially when Scott showed off his new skills at Lacrosse. Allison who is the new mysterious girl finds herself popular from the get go and takes notice of Scott. This didn't strike me as good as The Vampire Diaries, however the series is still very high quality, just a different feel to it, which is good in the end. It was also great to see a familiar face from Stargate SG-1, J.R. Bourne, who is a great actor. He looks very similar to Alexis Denisof of Buffy and Angel fame. I like how every thing was established in this episode. I look forward to seeing what happens next!!!!
