I enjoyed watching some of the episodes in this very short-lived TV drama series again recently. But as much as I enjoyed some of the the actors and the stunning photography, I found the show very slow-moving. I think this is what may have nipped the series in the bud. If you watch it, watch it for veteran hams like Lou Philips, Tim Matheson and Graham Greene. They chew up the scenery in this quasi-soap opera about a clan of werewolves living in the Pacific Northwest. WOLF LAKE ain't TWIN PEAKS or X-FILES, but it works some of the time. I will cite one episode where a wheelchair-bound werewolf rapes a woman, and pays the price when the clan finds out. The guy in the wheelchair could pass for Meatloaf's kid brother. He is fantastic, and keeps right up with veteran thespian Bruce "Animal House" McGill, who plays his older brother and ultimately his executioner.
