Hello, guys! It's Sabrina again. Well, I think you all love series, right? It doesn't matter which kind: horror series, sitcoms (like Friends and How I Met Your Mother sz), sci-fi, reality shows (who has never watched one?) or medical dramas, TV bring to us a lot of interesting histories that involve us in a way just we can understand. Since that, I came here to talk about my favorite TV show: Teen Wolf. And not only talk about its history, but about its actors, its soundtrack and how amazing is the Teen Wolf campaign. In short, remove all the wrong "this is a fool little girl TV show" thoughts.
First of all: the history
At first, Teen Wolf may seems a little fool, but its history is really addictive and once you get involve you won't stop watch it anymore.
Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) is a 16 years old guy, who has an usual life in Beacon Hills, California. He goes to school, got those good grades, try to be a part of the high school's lacrosse team and has his best friend: Stiles Stilinski (Dylan O'Brien), who is an hyperactive, sarcastic, cute and nerd guy, plus, he is loyal to his best friend. In one special night, Scott and Stiles went to the woods in the middle of the night to look for a dead girl's body (why not, yeah?). That's because Stiles' father is the town sheriff, so Stiles is addicted in policial cases. In this night, Scott end up being bitten by a werewolf, which he just discovers because of his best friend. After that, his life changes completely, and so does himself. He starts to deal with the most strange and mythological creatures, like kitsunes, nogitsunes, banshees, darachs, skinwalkers, kanimas and a bunch more, which Jeff Davis, executive producer, has explored really well, showing interesting facts about each one of them.
The TV show is full of romance too, with the lovely Allison Argent (Crystal Reed), the hunter's daughter and Scott's first love (yeah, if you're a werewolf, why not fall in love with a hunter's daughter?). But the girl is not only sweet and beautiful, she is pretty brave and strong and has many abilities with a bow and a arrow. Her best friend, Lydia Martin (Holland Roden) is the cliche snobbish high school girl, but I swear she stopped being that person. Lydia is not only a beautiful face, her IQ (that is above 170) proves that. I mean, she is genious, strong, loyal, trustworthy and is always ready to support her friends, without losing her style (or her Stiles, if you know what I mean). Unfortunately, she only turns into this brave girl after she stops being fake and act like she was dumb and superficial, mainly because of his boyfriend, Jackson. As you can clearly see on every single episode, or almost that, Stiles is completely in love with Lydia since the 3rd grade, but she has never felt the same (Stydia fans are still waiting). Although there are a lot, I mean A LOT, of Stydia scenes, which bring feelings and take out our breath (if you're from the fandom, you'll get that).
The show is really funny too, mainly because of Stiles' sarcasm and how he is afraid with Derek Hale in the first season, because he is a dark guy and a werewolf. But deep inside, he just wants to protect his pack, even with his rude way. You'll laugh loud with their relationship and scenes. There is a sweet bromance between Stiles and Scott too, I mean, the main bromance of the show. They are like brothers, in and out the show, 'cause Dylan and Tyler are best friends, they are always showing their love both in the fiction and in the real life.
The show brings a mix of fun scenes, full of humor, drama scenes, action, guns, silver bullets, arrows, wolfsbane, blood and fights among werewolves and between werewolves and hunters (the Argents). There are bad villains and mistery, since every season has a main villain (or more than one) and Scott's pack has to figure out what to do to keep everyone safe. On season 3 part B, one of the main characters turns to the bad path and becomes the scariest and best villain of the 5 seasons (a huge part of the fandom agrees). There are sports scenes, full of action, like the beloved lacrosse games with the coach, recognized by his humor, where the girls watch the guys playing and give them support (or play themselves, like one of the main characters in season 4). There are a lot of cute scenes between Allison and Scott (like Allison teaching him how to go ice skating), Stiles and Lydia and Scott, Stiles, Derek and the full pack, because they all love each other and are always ready to save each other's life. Another cool thing about the show is that you are able to learn a lot of mythology just by watching it, since every season focus on a different one, like Japan's and Celtic mythologies.
Teen Wolf's soundtrack is really really good, maybe because it's a MTV show (Music Television). The songs are usually not famous, but pretty good, with that you can find a lot of interesting songs you've never heard about. Here it is some of them:
1- Gabrielle Aplin - Start of Time
2- Phantogram - Turn It Off
3- Young The Giant - My Body
4- Jack Savoretti - Fight 'Til The End
5- Mikky Ekko - Who Are You, Really?

The actors
1- Tyler Posey
Tyler is a very talented and funny guy who was born in Santa Monica, California. His parents are Cyndi Terese Garcia and John Posey. He has started his career earlier than the others actors in this list, when he was just a kid and has acted in many movies and series as a guest. Tyler starred with Miley Cyrus once and she was his first kiss and girlfriend. He was in a relationship with his middle-school-lover since his 12 years old, they even got engaged, but broke up in 2014. Tyler's mom, Cyndi, died in 2014 and Teen Wolf's 5th season was dedicated to her memory. He almost became Twilight's Jacob Black, but Taylor Lautner got the role, although, being a werewolf was in his fate, since he bacame Scott McCall in 2011. Tyler is really extroverted and is not ashamed of paparazzis or of taken his t-shirt off in front of the cameras. He is always playing with the cast and loves animals and music, he is even part of a band called Disappearing Jamie.
2- Dylan O'Brien
The cute Dylan O'Brien was born in New York and started to act really young, in 2011, since his parents are involved in the movies market. With 14 years old he started an YouTube channel called This Be My Channel, where he uploaded videos talking about his life and showing his opinion about some things. He's now acting, besides Teen Wolf, in The Maze Runner, as the main character, Thomas. His next movies are The Maze Runner: The Death Cure and Deepwater Horizon. Dylan went to Teen Wolf audition to play the role of Scott McCall, but he related more with Stiles Stilinski, and he is not wrong: they are almost the same really funny and intelligent guys. Many fans play with him saying "your Stiles is showing". His girlfriend is Britt Robertson and they met in 2011 in the filming set of the really good movie "The First Time", where they were the main characters. If you want to know more about them go to: Dylan and Britt
3- Holland Roden
Holland is a very intelligent woman, she supports many anti-bullying, anti-racism, LGBT and peace campaigns. Her family is full of doctors, so she almost follow that career, since she used to have this "boring university life". but Holland has always loved to act and her drama teacher supported her to keep going on the actress career and in 2008 she got a role in Lost, one of her favorite shows. In 2011 she made the audition to the Allison Argent's role in Teen Wolf, but Holland didn't got it, although, the producers did like her and called her to make Lydia's audition. When she got the role, the producers wanted to write more about the character. To have an idea, Lydia was a secundary, dumb and superficial character, like in the beginning of the show, but Holland inspired them to write more about Lydia, who became who she is now just because of Mrs. Roden.
4- Crystal Reed
Crystal Reed was born in Detroit, Michigan and studied at Wayne State University, having a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She moved to Hollywood in 2008 after has participated in many local productions in Chicago. In 2010 Crystal participated as a guest in many TV shows and in the same year, she was chosen to play the role of Allison Argent. Jeff Davis, executive producer, said in a interview that Crystal was the first person in the audition and nobody was better than her. He just kept saying "not as good as Crystal" every time someone ended the audition. In 2014 she left the show in a very emotionally episode of season 3B, because she wanted more mature works, besides, she likes to participate in many different works at the same time. Until nowadays Allison Argent still being considered one of the most missed characters in the "series world".
