BBC viewers warn against “perverted” yet “addictive” new series ‘Wolf’
BBC viewers have issued a warning over the gory new series Wolf, with some describing it as “sick and perverted”.The six-part series, which premiered on Monday (July 31), is based on the novels by late crime writer Mo Hayder. It follows a British family who find themselves the victim of a terrifying psychopath’s cruel games – a premise not too dissimilar from Michael Haneke’s 1997 film, Funny Games.The cast of Wolf includes Sacha Dewan, Game Of Thrones star Iwan Rheon, Owen Teale, and Juliet Stevenson.Every episode is currently available to stream on iPlayer, and those who have already binged the entire series have shared their mixed reviews, with some even warning others to stay away from the disturbing new show.“I really must warn you against Wolf on BBC 1 tonight, unless your tolerance for pointless grizzly nonsense is much higher than mine,” one person wrote.Another tweeted: “It was sick and perverted and it made me feel bad and uncomfortable to watch it!”A third commented: “I found it too frightening and had to turn it off.
