Good teen/young adult series
Keep in mind that this review is coming from an older guy, and this show was clearly made for people 10-15 years younger than me. However, I caught wind of it through my niece, and now I actually enjoy it myself. It's a teen show full of silly high school drama and relationship issues, but the characters are well developed and relatable at least on some level. The young actors are solid. Of course I do wish it was a bit more violent and intense, but it is a kid's show after all.
Bring Back Maddy!!!!

lead leaves after two series
Maddy Smith and her family are hiding something living in a small English town. They are werewolves also known as Wolfblood. Not even her best friends Tom Okanawe and Shannon Kelly know although Shannon has been researching local legends of a beast in the woods. The three outcast friends have their school's photography club. She is taken with new kid Rhydian Morris. He's a foster kid who turns out to be another Wolfblood. The group is later joined by Jana who left her wild pack. The Smith family is driven out as Dr. Whitewood closes in on them at the end of series 2. Wolfblood-run corporation Segolia helps relocate the Smiths and they are written out of the show. Series 4 has wholesale changes with Jana taking the lead with new friend TJ and dim-witted Katrina as one of the few hold-overs. Series 5 has Jana and her friends dealing with the aftermath of revealing their secret to the world.
Who knows why Aimee Kelly left the show after series 2. It's terrific teen drama up until that point. Series 3 struggles a bit as Jana is given more material until she is given the lead. At the end of series 3, she has a great episode as the alpha of her wild pack. If series 4 had followed that episode, the show would be well served. It probably could have kept some more of the cast as the pack tries to integrate with the human world. Instead, the show chooses to press refresh on almost everything. Jana is a good character and Leona Vaughan does a terrific job taking over. I'm not convinced that the transition actually worked or was ever necessary. By coming out of the closet, the world becomes too big for the show. All the flaws in this fictional world are showing. This can't survive as a world wide supernatural show.

I honestly LOVED season 1 and season 2 the most!!!! I liked the entire season, but Maddy and Rhydian scenes what made the entire show so good. CAN WE PLEASE GET A NEXT SEASON!!! I mean how cool would it be to have a season 6 with the cast of the first season coming back, and theres kind of a war between humans and Wolfblood. @DebbieMoon can we please get on thisss.

What happens to their clothes?
Enjoyable series, but what happens to their clothes when they transform? Otherwise, nice placement of the supernatural in the normal world of high school. Characters are believable and the special effects subtly done. Plot is interesting enough to keep you engaged.
Don't see a reason to watch Season 4
Maddian is beautiful!!
Absolutely LOVED Maddy and Rhydian's relationship through season 1-2. Season 1 and 2 are my absolute favorite ever! I was really sad that Aimee and Bobby left the show. Every little scene between Maddy and Rhydian is one i fell in love with. The way he's always so protective of her and looking after her is the cutest!!! And how she's always there for him too. I cried when she left. :( I would LOVE if they would bring back the main characters for season 6. Kind of like a reunion where they all fly to Canada to look for Maddy again. WOULD LOVE IT TBH!! <3

Why should Maddy and Rhydian leave?
This series was my favorite until the 2nd season. From then on, I was completely disappointed that the protagonist left, with whom we started the whole adventure, it was a big mistake and that's why I didn't see the seasons 4 and 5.
Excellent, at least at first.

New favourite show
My new favourite show. The whole family loves it. So addictive. Family-friendly, but so much good drama.

Season 1 - 3 Great!
Season 1 - 2 were great but I'm so sad when Maddy left season 3. I really liked her character as well as Rhydian.

Minor point, but when they physically transform into wolves what happens to their clothes?

Good Writing Marred by Cast Issues
The writing and direction of this show is wonderful. The production team did a good job of writing a relatively mature plot while still making the show family-friendly. The acting is ok as well, considering the actors' relative inexperience. The only complaint about the production value is the low CGI quality.
However, the show had constant cast changes as the actors of main characters left the show one season after another, and the writers didn't have enough of a warning to properly write them off. I would've given it a 10/10 if the four main characters of the original series didn't quit the show early.

Best show of is kind!
I really liked this show. It's the only not scary werewolf styled show I've found and is by no means boring (Also there is no real violence). Season one and two are the best, my 100 star favorites. Season 3 is okay, it's like a wrap up for the first two. Then seasons 4 and 5 are a new storyline with some of the same characters. I liked them even though they were a different type of story from the first ones. So now that you know that, what are they about?
Season 1 and 2 follow Maddy, a high school student trying to live a normal life in a small country town while hiding the fact she and her family are wolfbloods. (Not the same as a werewolf. They can change between wolf and human form, but there is no eating people or anything at all like werewolves.) The story kicks off when a new student Rhydian, an orphan wolfblood with human foster parents moves there. From then on it follows Maddy, Rhydian and her two human friends (Tom and Shannon) who don't know about wolfbloods (yet) and all their struggles, troubles and adventures.
Season 3 is a wrap up 1 and 2 and a transition to the next two seasons. It's not as good as the rest, but still interesting enough (and you need it to understand the next two).
Season 4 and 5 are quite a bit different. The story switches (though it has been slowly through season 3) to following Jana, a character who came in, in the second season. Maddy and Rhydian are not in season 4 or 5,for reasons I won't say because it would spoil the story. In spite of that I still liked it, even though Maddy was my favorite character. There are several new characters introduced in season 4. Matei and his younger sister Emilia, both wolfbloods who's parents were killed in a fire. TJ a friend of Jana's and Selina a fellow student just to name a few.
I think the makers did this to keep the story to their audiences age, because all the previous characters had just graduated. 4 and 5 take on a larger scale (higher stakes) and is set mostly in the city.
Besides being a good story, I love how there are so many relatable things in the show. Even though about half the main characters are wolfbloods, their struggles are the same, only amplified because they are half wolf. Overall it's a show I'd recommend to most anyone. Its none scary nature means it okay for tweens and teens alike.
Notes: Two good things to know are, one there is a series called "wolfblood secrets" that goes between season 4 and 5. Also there is a 'secret episode' that fits between season 1 and 2. However the 'secret episode' is better watched after season two because otherwise it ruins some of the mystery in that season.
