Teen Wolf: Every Season Ranked From Worst To Best
9. Season 6B
Let's get this out in the open before we get into things: No season of Teen Wolf is "bad". They're all well-made, exciting, with great character moments and solid drama and action. In the case of the second part of Season Six, it's just that something had to be at the bottom of the pile.
The second half of Season Six works on a number of levels, all typical to the tone and genre of the show. It's got a solid arc, making the hunters of Season One the bad guys again, and a plot which suggests that nothing will ever be the same. Plus, missing fan favourites Stiles, Jackson, Ethan and Derek come back to the fold for one last battle.
Unfortunately, everything else feels very off. Sure, Stiles being gone is a big issue in places, but it's more than that; the villain (the Anuk-Ite) is a formidable presence, but its origins are rushed and its demise easily achieved. Also, the whole thing with the hunters gearing up for war, whilst a solid plot point on paper, is often rushed and the threat of new characters - Monroe, Nolan - is cheapened by underdevelopment and annoying character traits not usually seen on the show.
Still, there are some emotional pay-offs (mainly the returning faces) and the ending deserves props for finishing with ambiguity. Other than that, it's a bit of a lackluster affair.
