The show proves to be a charmed match of writer and performers. Ms. Fisher can be dryly hilarious and is given abundant opportunity by Mr. Forsythe's dialogue. Mr. Gad has to make Gary incredulous, infuriated, flummoxed and caring about both Mary and Emma. But he's also often quite funny saying nothing. Read full review

It’s a show of broad metaphors, perhaps one or two too many, that don’t always feel fully realized in the moment, but come together with pleasantly amusing potency after six episodes. ... The Wolf Like Me finale, shot to great effect in the Australian outback, pulls off the tough trick of being unresolved in a satisfying way. Read full review

Wolf Like Me is more drama than comedy, but it works either way, despite its strange premise. Much of that is thanks to Gad and Fisher, but it’s also because Forsythe has ground the show’s more supernatural elements in reality. Read full review

Wolf Like Me is pretty good television. It’s bad luck that it’s premiering in a time where if it’s going to be remembered, it needs to be great. Read full review

While the show wouldn’t introduce something so messy, so tied up in grief and horror tropes only to betray it with an overabundance of schmaltz, the eventual conclusion for both Gary and Mary feels true to its overall spirit. Read full review

“Wolf Like Me” should become more intense and take us into even darker territory, and on some level that’s what happens, but there’s something curiously muted and underwhelming about the resolution of this promising story. Read full review

Wolf takes its traumatic situation so seriously, I kept wanting it to let its hair down. [17 - 30 Jan 2022, p.9] Read full review

Fair warning to potential viewers: This is not really a supernatural show. It is, technically, but the show is definitely more about relationships, dealing with difficult emotions, letting yourself be vulnerable enough to connect with others, accepting people in their imperfections, etc.Fair warning to potential viewers: This is not really a supernatural show. It is, technically, but the show is definitely more about relationships, dealing with difficult emotions, letting yourself be vulnerable enough to connect with others, accepting people in their imperfections, etc. That said, the supernatural part is done quite well, and complements the deeper meanings of the show.

The show does both seriousness and humor equally well, and the acting is superb. This role allows Josh Gad to show his range, playing a real person, as the lead, not just as comic relief, and it is both surprising and impressive. And Isla Fisher-- wow. She is engaging and compelling, emotionally versatile and agile. She pulls in the viewer with her character's humor and vulnerability. This is some of her best work. The actor who plays the daughter, Ariel Donoghue, was another impressive surprise throughout, with the finale, especially though, really showing off her acting skills. She is already so good, I look forward to seeing where she goes from here.

The show does a good job delving into the more authentic parts of loving other people, and the characters and the actors really shine in this effort. You will find yourself hurting for their characters, then laughing, then tearing up (and wanting to hug all three of their characters) at various times throughout. Then the ending pulls it all together. No spoilers, but I finished the last episode grateful I had binge-watched this uniquely done show.… Expand

Totally disappointed by this series. I had expected it to be more about the supernatural and less akin to a typical TV drama/romance premise, so I was unpleasantly surprised when that was discovered. I managed to get through the 1st episode but couldn't go further. This is definitely notTotally disappointed by this series.
