Oh God. Suddenly my interest in this show has disappeared. Taylor Lautner is seriously terrible. How on earth did the casting go from John Stamos to THIS???

not sure why this show is still on. My guess is for the young teens.

Before you get your panties in a bunch about this, check out Cuckoo (it’s on Netflix in Canada, not sure about US). He’s hilarious

it is dreadful. They keep cranking those episodes because in the Uk, there is no ratings bloodbath like there is in the Uk and I don’t know a single person who actually checks this out. Lautner would be a great addition for either the originals or the teenage werewolf. That’s his bread and butter.

Why so much hate? He actually has charisma and is a good actor. And a really nice guy. Happy for him.

Wow, he’s put on a lot of weight…not that there’s anything wrong with that but still. Hopefully, the show improves as S1 was a hot mess.
