I love Teen Wolf, but there's a lot they don't deal with very well...or at all. I know Jeff Davis said he doesn't want it to be an "issues" show, and that's fine, but damn, if you don't want it to be an issues show, then quit putting in the issues! If you don't want to deal with the repercussions of child abuse, then don't make one of your focus characters an abused child. If you don't want to deal with the repercussions of statutory rape, then don't have one of your main characters be raped by an adult when they're underaged. You can't give your characters tragic backgrounds and then not allow them to process that tragedy in any way. That's lazy writing. If you're going to throw major issues into your show, then you need to deal with them realistically, even within a show about werewolves.

I thought "issues" was referring to things like homophobia, race, and girl power, or whatever you can put in a Very Special Episode With A Very Special Lesson kind of thing.

This.

NGL, I like the fact that it's not an "issues" show. To me, it's enough that they acknowledge that certain issues exist and try to make it the kind of universe where the population is progressive-- for the most part, anyway. Sometimes I just want to get away from all those RL issues. Hence, why I watch fantasy TV shows in the first place.

my friends don't understand this. i will often put off a fic with warnings like 'large-scale homophobia' and 'character deaths' and so on because i just don't want to deal with that stuff. more often than not i read fic to get away from, like you said, real life issues. for a few minutes/hours i just want to immerse myself in something that won't make me angry or sad.

i flock to fantasy tv series & movies for this same reason. it's also why i tend to not get involved too heavily in the non-fic portion of fandom(s). too much talk and arguing about things i just don't want to deal with on my 'down time'.
