Jeff Davis is one of those writers who gets worse as time goes on, somehow.

He wrote some of the best episodes of Teen Wolf's early seasons, but when he started writing the bulk of the series by himself it got progressively more nonsensical. He just released the movie and it has the worst Rotten Tomatoes score (both fans and critics) of anything so far.

How bad does Teen Wolf get? I started watching it and I'm around middle of season 3 at the moment and it's started to feel pretty repetetive.

There also seems to be important scenes that happen off screen, like the main guy telling his girlfriend that her mother tried to kill him. You just get the build up to it, cut to different scene, cut back to the aftermath. And I don't get why Derek is still palling around with his uncle who murdered his sister.

Imagine if Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended with Spike dumping Buffy, and falling in love with Willow. Within just the final 3 or 4 episodes.

That's the kinda stuff you can look forward to.

Tbf you're almost at season 3B which most people consider the best part of Teen Wolf. But the weird scene cuts, the confusing character friendships, etc will still be there. Jeff Davis never had an overarching plan for the series following season 1 (or a writing team that lasted longer than a year) so everything from 2 onward is a patchwork of contradictions that only gets messier.
