Ooh, these are some good questions.

I apologize for a mistake I wrote in my previous reply. I meant to say that I watched all of the first season and found it some of the best television I had ever saw, but then stopped at the middle of the second season because I was swerved hard by the disappointing (IMO) plot threads.

I'm still so confused about what wolf-shaped bullets could mean. Bullets... shaped as wolf heads? What??? That's so ridiculous lmao, but I wouldn't be surprised at all coming from this show. A shame that they decided to kill off both of the main characters, alas... Even though I did think that the show got silly, I still liked them a lot. Thank you for sticking it out. You are far stronger than me. o7

Would I consider rewatching it ever? Yes, but only in a group setting. I've been doing a lot of discord work, and would even be willing to hold stream sessions for folks here at F!S if there is demand for it.

What drew me into the show? I have no idea how I discovered the show to be honest. It may have been a news article mentioning it, or even a TVTropes binge session (it's how I found out a lot about other werewolf stories) and finding out it was about the daily, routine lives of supernatural creatures was immediately attractive. I'm a sucker about supernatural/fantasy/superhero stories that are down-to-earth and/or low-stakes. Count me in.

Why'd I leave? Season 1 was so goooooood. What a fantastic, complete, and encapsulated narrative. It managed to avoid a lot of tropes that I hate or that I associate with a decline in a show's quality. Until they revealed the scratch on the werewolf's (Toby's?) love interest. I got a bad feeling that the show might decline in quality from it. As a werewolf aficionado, I'm somewhat really picky/snobbish about what tropes are employed, and being scratched once from a werewolf being enough to turn one into a werewolf as well is a pet peeve for me. But I was willing to push on a bit into season 2 regardless.

I knew it would have problems because it's very rare for shows to handle female characters as werewolves, and it usually takes a very dedicated and focused writer/writing team to be able to tread new ground well. It'd either be handled ambitiously, breaking away from tradition, or it'd find some way to rehash and shove in conventional television womanhood tropes in there somehow. And sure enough, the love interest is announced to be pregnant, and that was just too much for me. My patience wore out early before I bothered trying to see if it would recover. Fantastic first season, but I can't say the same for the rest, haha.

Excellent choice with your choice of characters and actors. I really liked them all being roommates together. It was fun! Sometimes I still think about that show's versions of ghosts, and how interesting an idea it was.

Thank you for hearing me blab about this show. In return I'll ask some questions of you.

Are you a fan of supernatural stories or creatures? Did you ever try the US version?
