This is your whole review.ĭid the whole part about the members being honest to each other and sharing their personal issues and stories just fly over your head entirely? What “masculinity” are you talking about? Did you just turn off your brain during the personal conversations and then turn it back on during the properly coordinated gunfights (“video game”, really?) So your take on the series is “The script is weak for reasons I won’t bother to explain but the series looks nice”. As far as Netflix goes, Wolf lacks that temptation to binge – you could watch one episode and then leave the rest for a rainy day. Its grittiness, excitement, and scene-setting provide enough entertainment to get through each hour-and-20-minute episode. That’s not to say Alper Caglar‘s series is not worth the “Add to My List” option, because if you are ready to be immersed in good action sets, well played-out missions and the odd cheesy line, then Wolf should appease the masses. Wolf prides itself on its gunfights, its masculinity and the environment of war, but when it comes to the story and the characters, the Netflix series fails in its writing, which is extremely poor. Each episode is a different terrorist scenario, but in the first chapter, where the special ops team are dealing with a school hostage scenario, you fully understand what type of ride you are on. Wolf concentrates exceptionally well on the action giving obstacles and camera angles true to a video-game as the special ops team Börü have to overcome plenty of gunfire. The opening episode opens up with narration explaining how sometimes monsters win, and I purposefully shackled myself to the sofa ready to be left breathless by some established plot involving terrorism. Unlike the dark, shadowy world of Dogs of Berlin, Wolf lacks general substance. Unfortunately, I felt to a large extent let down by the Turkish series.
