TV superfans Sandile and Fadzai talk about their favourite supernatural dramas from the 22-episode era, and the characters that made them so memorable.Each season focuses on a different show, and each episode on one of the top 22 key characters and their impact on the show. But don&#39;t be surprised if you see a handful of scattered extras about aspects of the world itself, or minor characters that were too much fun to leave out.Join us as we dive into spooky yet familiar worlds, and be wary of dangers around every corner - the last thing you want is to fall victim to an &#34;animal attack&#34;.

Healer, philosopher, mother! Fadzai and Sandile clock in an emergency shift with the night nurse of Teen Wolf, Melissa McCall.Single parent of the show&#39;s lead, Scott McCall, Melissa balances her parenting duties with her demanding job as an emergency room nurse at Beacon Hills General. While unaware of the supernatural, she is a guiding force for Scott in matters of life, romance, and coming of age, as well a fracture point of safety when it comes to his enemies. When she&#39;s finally drawn into the masquerade, despite an initial negative reaction, she quickly becomes an aid to Scott and his pack, and a surrogate mother figure for a number of wayward teens living the werewolf life.

Sandile and Fadzai make the rest of the world the problem with the prince of Beacon Hills, Jackson Whittemore.High school rival to Scott McCall in the early seasons of Teen Wolf, Jackson enjoys a level of popularity due to his role as an athlete, and becomes antagonistic when Scott starts to pull that spotlight away from him. His suspicion over Scott&#39;s strange new behaviour leads him into the world of werewolves and the supernatural, one he is desperate to access as a way to return to his glory status, though he gets far more than he bargained for.

Alpha, Beta, Omega! Fadzai and Sandile run a mile with the born wolf and prodigal son, Derek Hale.A tritagonist of the early seasons of Teen Wolf, Derek appears in the show as the first other werewolf encountered by Scott McCall.

Draw, aim, fire! Sandile and Fadzai begin the Teen Wolf season by discussing the huntress herself, the Allison Argent.The deuteragonist of the series (at least during her time on the show), Allison arrives in Beacon Hills to begin her junior year, and quickly becomes a love interest for the lead, Scott McCall. Over time, though, she learns the truth about werewolves and the supernatural goings-on in town, as well as secrets about her family - the Argents - and their position as hunters of the supernatural. Her physical prowess, common sense intelligence, and her capacity for empathy, make her a key and memorable part of the show, even beyond her untimely death.

Sandile and Fadzai prepare to return to Beacon Hills as they discuss the subject of the second season of the podcast - Teen Wolf.

Mid Season - The Secret Circle (intro)

Home of the supernatural drama series

TV superfans Sandile and Fadzai talk about their favourite supernatural dramas from the 22-episode era, and the characters that made them so memorable.

Each season focuses on a different show, and each episode on one of the top 22 key characters and their impact on the show. But don't be surprised if you see a handful of scattered extras about aspects of the world itself, or minor characters that were too much fun to leave out.

Join us as we dive into spooky yet familiar worlds, and be wary of dangers around every corner - the last thing you want is to fall victim to an "animal attack".
