For starters I haven't watched the producers other series Teen Wolf outside of a few clips though unlike some I don't think Wolf Pack is meant to be a spin off of the other series though they do share similar elements.
Overall I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed Wolf Pack given the poor reviews from many online critics.
The acting was decent, nothing spectacular but then again I doubt this series is trying to win awards. It's just trying to be entertaining and it delivered on that front. The story was nicely done though I felt some of the things surrounding Sarah Michelle Gellar's character were quite obvious. Then again I think would be unlikely you'd cast SMG in a werewolf series and have her play a mundane investigator.
The special effects weren't the greatest (I wish more supernatural TV shows used more practical effects, especially ones featuring werewolves) but overall it wasn't too bad and I liked the mix between horror and teen drama and I liked how it took time for the pack to come together given there circumstances.
I felt that the pacing was good given that the show was only 8 episodes I didn't find the series boring. In fact I feel like they could have given the series at least 10 episodes to help flesh out the characters some more.
The series does end on a cliff hanger and it is far from a happy ending so I would like the show to have a second season to see what happens next.
