What to Know

Critics Consensus

Wolf Lake's ill-defined story and uninvolving sense of mystery make it a yawn-inducing watch.

The survival of WolfLake depends on whether chasing wolf-people down is your idea of a great TV time. It's not mine. Go to Full Review Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune 09/05/2019
There is some intrigue to the pilot, mostly because so much is hinted at, so little explained. Go to Full Review Michael Speier Variety 09/05/2019
A sinister series that melds "X-Files" creepiness with B-movie chills, CBS' "Wolf Lake" gets it right when it focuses on the beasts, but the humans could use a little work. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 09/05/2019
The Wolf Lake pilot was scrapped, at a cost of millions. The premise was reworked, and the cast also underwent an overhaul... It's still silly, uninvolving and incomprehensible -- but definitely sexier than the original. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 09/05/2019
The revised pilot doesn't seem any more watchable than the original - it is, perhaps, less so. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
