In this tale of man-meets-werewolf, the film navigates the complexities of relationships and the baggage individuals carry. Gary is an emotional wreck and struggles to provide for his daughter since the death of his wife. Mary has a secret she can't bring herself to share with anyone. The universe brought these two together for a reason.

What are critics saying?

Collider by Carly Lane

It goes funnier, delves deeper, expands its own world, develops its relationships, and launches the series into even more unexpected territory than before. In other words, Wolf Like Me transforms itself — into something better and more brilliant.

Wall Street Journal by John Anderson

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.

The Hollywood Reporter by Daniel Fienberg

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.

Decider by Joel Keller

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.

75

Consequence by Liz Shannon Miller

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.

67

The A.V. Club by Leila Latif

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.

63

Chicago Sun-Times by Richard Roeper

“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.

62

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review by Rob Owen

Series creator/director Abe Forsythe gives “Wolf Like Me” some occasionally funny moments, but it’s mostly a somber downer, careening from one traumatic event to another.
