Scott (Tyler Posey) is just an average high schooler when he is bitten in the woods one night. He turns into a werewolf, becomes a lacrosse star, and catches the eye of the hot new girl, Allison (Crystal Reed). All good. Except Allison's parents are werewolf hunters and the werewolf that bit him is a killer on a path of revenge. Scott has to navigate his interpersonal relationships with his mom (Melissa Ponzio), his best friend (Dylan O'Brien), and the antagonistic captain of the lacrosse team (Colton Haynes), as well as other werewolf Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin) whose motives remain inscrutable, while not getting caught by the cops, or killed by hunters or werewolves. And he's failing chemistry.
This is very much a teen show. Your mileage will vary based on your tolerance for such but I found it surprisingly palatable. O'Brien's fast-talking best friend is easily the most entertaining character, with Holland Roden's Lydia a close second. There are a lot of half-naked dudes in this show. Posey especially seems to never be within reach of a shirt. All well and good, except they are all supposed to be teenagers so it's a little squicky. Except for Hoechlin who is very age-appropriate eye candy.
All six seasons are currently available on Hulu but I'm stopping at one. Got over half a month left to go, after all.
