    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 theFair 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 not going on my "to watch" list moving forward, there are far better new & recurring shows to focus my time on.

    Wolf Like Me may not do enough to cement itself in memory, but it's an unexpectedly heartfelt tale about a person overcoming the inherent fear of rejection and loss in order to try for love, and what happens when someone with those same fears is willing to reach out and meet them halfway.

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

    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.
