Wolf Lake...a Perfect Storm of "Meh"

I'll try anything with Mia Kirscher in it, that's probably the only reason I've even bothered to track it down.

Anyway, I've been watching all the episodes on Youtube and it's really a mixed bag. The werewolves are really just human being who can turn into wolves and...that's it. Other than that little plot twist it was a pretty much just a rather mediocre Soap Opera. The werewolf thing rarely felt relevant to the plot or the characters. Not horrible, but nothing to write home about. There's a lot of great actors in this though, and Graham Greene's portrayal of Jefferson Blackstone is probably the best part of the whole series with his funny take on the "Wise Old Indian who gives the Pretty White People Advice" cliche.

Seriously, Jefferson should have gotten his own spin off. He was pretty awesome. Graham Greene is a great and criminally underused actor.

I don't remember all the details now but this was one of those shows that went thru a lot of behind the scenes tinkering between the time it was announced and the time it actually aired. Much like the recent WOLFMAN remake, I'd really like to see the show they started out to make.

Was just gonna say the same Keywolf. Not that i've actually seen any of it. I saw a tiny bit one night and i didn't really fancy it.
