Lou Diamond Phillips stars as a Seattle Police detective investigating the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend and discovering that the legends of the local Native Americans tell about people with the ability to change into wolves aren’t just scary bedtime stories. While it may feel like it was rushed into production to cash in on the Twilight fever, but the story is based a lot more in ‘reality’ than the land of love-sick teenagers peopled by werewolves with six pack abs and sullen, sparkly vampires. The scripts are smarter than that, even if they do cross the line of credibility as the series progresses. It’s a big plus that the people who can become wolves – called skin walkers – turn into actual animals and not just teenagers in rubber masks. The young cast members of the series are all pretty generic, so it’s up to the veterans – Phillips, Tim Matheson (Animal House) and Graham Greene – to put some honest edge into the stories.
