* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The combination of Nix's actor moving temporarily to New Zealand and William's actor getting heat stroke meant that there several episodes in the middle of the series with just Pres and Sesh, which were consequently very short.

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAw0vPdjSh0 Wolfgang]] is a 2018 monthly SliceOfLife dramedy web series created by former Creator/GeekAndSundry vlogger [[https://twitter.com/DailyDael Dael Kingsmill]] and released on her Website/YouTube page, ''Monarch Factory''. The show is not about [[Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart classical musicians]] as one might suppose, but instead focuses on three [[LandDownUnder Australian]] [[UrbanFantasy inner city]] [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves]] on the three days they transform during the full moon. What do they do in the hours between transforming into bloodthirsty beasts? Honestly? Not much. But that's kind of the fun.

Their condition seems to be transmitted only by biting (if there are any born werewolves, they don't know of them), and they're still infectious in human form, so they intentionally contain themselves during transformation time to reduce the risk of biting anyone.

* EvolvingCredits: The title card at the end of each episode changes with the cast. Initially it has the original trio sitting on the couch, looking scraped up by their werewolf transformations. After [[spoiler: Nix]] disappears, their face gets scratched out. After [[spoiler: William]] appears, their picture is pasted over the previous one. Finally, when [[spoiler: Nix reappears]] and they become a four-person ensemble, a new picture of all four of them on a couch is used.

* FantasticRacism: There seems to be some societal stigma against werewolves, despite them being victims of circumstance with what amounts to a [[TheVirus viral]] medical condition. In some sense this is justified, as they periodically engage in uncontrolled violent behavior and can spread the condition with a single bite, but as people it means they have to hide their condition and are responsible for locking themselves away during transformation, with no social support network to help them do so.


Added DiffLines:

* TitleDrop: A subdued one in the finale. After giving a speech about how the different terms they've used for their group, like "pack", felt wrong, Pres gives out letter jackets for the four of them. These are embroidered with "Wolfgang", though no one says the name out loud.
