You'd find answers here, but the premiere ends as inky as it begins, its ambiguity making it all the more appealing as Kanin gradually strips back layers of intrigue in a dark locale where nights outnumber days about 10 to 1, and the forest is a place to avoid unless you're carrying a bazooka.

Shot in an impressively glossy style, and in wide-screen, Wolf Lake at least looks good, in spite of a lack of the visual effects one might expect in a series like this one. [09 Sep 2001]

The new Wolf Lake... is obvious and lumbers to a start rather than moving in Twin Peaks-like mysterious ways. [12 Sep 2001]

Wolf Lake, CBS' brooding series about humans in wolves' clothing (or maybe that should be vice versa) premieres after a total makeover that leaves it more of a furry X-Files meets Twin Peaks than a confusing call of the wild.

Wolf Lake hopes to become a cult hit by slowly feeding us clues about the ways of its wolves. But you may find yourself eagerly awaiting the clue about where one can find a couple of silver bullets. [12 Sep 2001]

A pointless and preposterous new CBS series about a mysterious village north of Seattle where people wolf down their food and, it appears, are sometimes wolfed down themselves.

The new Wolf Lake -- we're not talking a retooled pilot here, we're talking a complete makeover -- is the real deal: a five-star train wreck, a line of toxic-waste tank cars jumping the tracks and fouling lakes, rivers and swimming pools for miles around. In a word: stinkaroonie.
