Awkward high school nerd Scott Howard (Michael J. Fox) is going through a period of “changes.” He discovers that being a werewolf runs in his family’s bloodline. With his newly discovered lycanthropic powers, Scott begins to climb the social ladder of success, becoming a local celebrity and the star of his school’s basketball team.
Consistently vacillating between goofy and earnest, Teen Wolf is a nostalgic ‘80s time capsule of suburban ennui.
