A widowed father, a woman guarding a secret, and a small Australian town caught between them: Wolf Like Me pairs grief with something stranger, and lets the two feed each other instead of competing for attention.
What is Wolf Like Me about?
Since losing his wife, Gary has been running on fumes, trying to hold together a household for his young daughter while barely holding himself together. Into that fragile routine comes Mary, warm and funny but visibly guarding something she won't name. As the two circle closer, the show treats Gary's mourning and Mary's secret as parallel weights, each character learning to carry the other's before either can put their own down. The series leans on tone shifts that move from sitcom-adjacent banter to something closer to a fable, using the family's ordinary rituals — school runs, awkward dinners, half-finished conversations — as the ground the strangeness grows out of. Rather than front-loading its premise, it lets the daughter's perspective and the town's rhythms establish stakes first.
About the cast
Isla Fisher and Josh Gad lead as Mary and Gary, playing the push-pull between openness and self-protection that the series is built around, with the show trusting long stretches of dialogue between them to carry entire episodes.
Context & significance
Directed by Abe Forsythe, the series comes from Australia and blends genre elements with a close, family-scaled comedy-drama, a combination that has made it stand out among 2023's more straightforwardly categorized streaming releases. Its short episode length keeps individual chapters tight, so the tonal swings between comedy, romance, and something closer to fantasy land in quick succession rather than being spaced out over a slower hour-long structure, which suits a show that is really about two people learning to trust each other in small, repeated steps.
