Review of Wolf Like Me

The show's pretty confusing on what it's trying to be at first but it feels intentional so that you feel the same when watching it, confused. I don't know what kept drawing me to keep watching. I felt how Gary felt when Mary was disappearing out of nowhere, for the first couple episodes just asking what's going on. The acting is great by the three leads, the chemistry between them that helps you understand everything from each of their point of views. Pacing makes it seem all over the place and only starts to make sense later on and I couldn't have guessed to where this was going because it starts off as a romantic comedy which it is but there's more. The emotional aspect sorta falls off towards the end but I think that's a result of trying to conclude the story, and you're already invested by then so it's not much of a blow. It's very original and peculiar, probably something that could've been made into a movie as well which is something I'm grateful that they didn't try to drag out the six short 30min episodes.

I'm surprised it wasn't really advertised(maybe in Australia?), it's not the best thing you'll ever see but sorta a little gem still; probably forget about it in due time but I enjoyed watching it. It's not trying to do the most. Best to avoid all trailers and definitely something you must commit to watching in it's entirety and not giving up on the first episode.

I just read it's been renewed for S2, a little surprised because it felt like a miniseries plus the shock value, which the next season won't have, was one if it's best qualities. It's well made and very minimalist so there's a lot of places the story could still go so I'm curious which way it will.
