Teen Wolf Season 3

Season Three of this show marks the departure of Colton Haynes who played a strikingly handsome self-obsessed snake in the grass. In theclosing episodes of Season Two we did get a glimpse into the tragedthat helped shape his character.

The high concept at the centre of this series is the idea that werewolves really do exist. Another unique facet of the show is its acceptance of homosexuality. As a totally out gay Danny experiences no homophobic reactions from any of his lacrosse teammates notwithstanding the fact that he is the biggest most muscular member of the team. In Stiles words, Everyone likes Danny. Even more remarkable this season is the portrayal on screen of his sex life, going so far as to show he and one of the twins in flagrante delicto. Scott and Allison display advanced hetero petting but the gays appear to be going all the way.

As this series continues to get renewed the producers are going to have to give the adults playing these teens more age appropriate roles. From the standpoint of their musculature and their actions these are not children. As Season 3 ends they've pretty much chewed up their home town  n any case. The show faces the same problems all high school dramas have in common; how to keep the cast together as they move on to higher education.
