In the town of Beacon Hills, everything was normal. Until Scott McCall turns into a werewolf.

The characters are dynamic and the actors that play them are good at what they do. This tv show is ideal for those who enjoy teen drama and a bit of romance mixed in. Also, Dylan O’Brien. That should be enough.
