Is this worth checking out?


Been looking for a new show to watch and i see the full show is on Hulu, i love the movie from the 80's, but i never got the urge to watch this cause i figured it would be like Twilight or something, and it being an MTV show also kept me away from it.

But i dunno i'm thinking about giving it a shot with the new movie coming out, but just wanted to get a few opinions from people on here first.

It is closer to Twilight than it is to the original movie. However, in my dumbass opinion, the first 2 seasons are entertaining in a schlocky way. There is more humor than the promotional materials suggest, and it is at least amusing at all times. Beyond that, it seemed that someone decided it should be more "dark" and "serious", and it loses all entertainment value. It's a show about werewolves in high school, for fuck's sake.

Only a few characters have some borrowed names and traits from the original movie. Stiles and coach Finstock are the least changed from their original incarnations, and as in the original movie, the coach is the best character.

You really only need to watch the first 1, maybe 2 episodes to see if it will be something you'll enjoy or not.
