Worth a watch? How does it compare to something like Buffy?

I think it’s the most like Buffy of all the teen-oriented shows. Season 1 is pretty soapy and focuses a lot on cattiness and romance, but it becomes more teamwork and friendship focused after that. It can be a little uneven and silly, but that kinda goes with the territory. I thought it turned out to be a sweet and enjoyable watch.

Watch The Magicians if you want something really similar to Buffy. And The Order as well

It's one of those shows that could. It was cheesy as shit the acting from a few of them mainly the lead wasn't really there but it was great.

The variety of monsters was different which was exciting.

When the show was sad it made me sad. The cgi wasn't great but it is MTV so I wasn't complaining.

All in all if you can handle the cheesiness it's definitely worth it. 'Motel California' is one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen.

Aside from Stiles the ladies of the show are the best characters, and I mean every single one of them. Lydia, Malia, Allison.... I would watch it just for them.

Besides Buffy, I think it’s the most worthwhile teen supernatural show (the first three seasons, at least). Solid mythology, endearing characters, and a decent Peter Parker-type story. If you’re in your teens or early 20’s, I’d say it’s worth checking out

Definitely worth a try and it is much better than you would expect imo.

See also Bitten, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Haven.

I liked it. Early seasons, as per usual are best. There's a nice humor to it which always draws me in.
