Wolf on BBC began this week and while many were loving the first episode, the second instalment of the drama series left many watching at home divided.
Taking to social media platform, X, previously known as Twitter, plenty of viewers were quick to share their verdict – but there was a mixed response.
One person was quick to brand the new series as "appalling" in a brutally honest review. "#Wolf appalling, very immature writing, does not exercise the little grey cells," they wrote.
Another said: "How do the BBC manage to get it so wrong so many times? What started as an intriguing, slightly dark drama quickly turned into a 'trying too hard to be darkly humorous' pile of [expletive]. A very bad taste pile of [expletive] actually."

As another tweeted: "Totally off the wall! Watch it & be mesmerized by the amazing cast - especially @sacha_dhawan - do I love him or hate him??? #Wolf #BBC."
A third positive review read: "So many people slating this. Given we are only on episode two. The evil of the two 'coppers' in the house making it light is just a way of highlighting their complete evil. It's cleverly written as we don't know what is happening. Might disappoint in the end but too early."

The full synopsis reads: "DI Jack Caffery is a young detective beset by nightmares. Obsessed with the neighbour he believes murdered his 10-year-old brother in the 90s, Jack finds himself trying to right the wrongs of others - but at what cost?

If the plot isn't enough to grip you, then the impressive cast might. Leading the way is Ukweli Roach, best known for his role in The Midwich Cuckoos, as DI Jack Caffery. Doctor Who star Sacha Dhawan plays Honey and Misfits and Game of Thrones actor Iwan Rheon plays the part of Molina.
