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".
Fear, face, fight! Fadzai and Sandile go from pillar to post with the bereft beta of the Hale pack, Isaac Lahey.
A Beacon Hills student introduced in the second season of Teen Wolf, Isaac lives under the abusive hand of his single father - that is, until new alpha Derek Hale turns him into a werewolf, and his father is killed in a bizarre attack. Isaac is one of several recruits for Derek's new pack, and enjoys the power and confidence that lycanthropy bring him, but time and trials prove that the life is more trouble than he expected, and that Derek is not the best candidate for a new caretaker. This leads to his progressive adoption by Scott and the McCall pack as an ally, and a more central role for him in the third season of the show.

S2E05 - Ethan and Aiden Steiner
Alphas, Omegas, twins! Sandile and Fadzai double the trouble with Teen Wolf's twin werewolves, Ethan and Aiden Steiner.
Part of the "Alpha Pack", collectively one of the antagonists in Season 3A, the twins are two of five Alpha werewolves who slaughtered their entire packs to gain greater power, and now have designs on Derek Hale (and secretly, Scott McCall) as new recruits. Given the abuse they faced at the hands of their pack, as well as their closeness in age to the show's main characters, Ethan and Aiden are placed in a more sympathetic position - and poised for a turn from their motley pack when they each find love and companionship in Beacon Hills.

S2E04 - Melissa McCall
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'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'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.
Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of alcoholism, child endangerment, mass murder, racism, and sexism.
