Thanks to Jeff Smith’s recommendation, I watched a few episodes of Wolf Like Me on Peacock and can’t wait to watch more!
Gary (Josh Gad) is a single father living in Adelaide, Australia with his troubled 11-year-old daughter Emma (Ariel Donoghue). Both father and daughter are still traumatized by the death of Emma’s mother, Lisa, who died of aggressive cancer.
Gary and Emma meet Mary (Isla Fisher), a quirky advice columnist recovering from the death of her husband. But despite Mary’s attempts to stay away from Gary, they keep meeting again and again.
While Gary struggles to help Emma with her problems, Mary is able to connect with Emma in an effortless fashion. However, Mary hides a dark secret that she fears might hurt Gary and Emma: she is a werewolf. If you’re in the mood for an off-beat rom com with supernatural elements, give Wolf Like Me a try. GRADE: Incomplete, but trending towards a B+
Sounds promising. This morning, I’ve been watching the pilot of THE HUNTRESS, the 2000-2001 series starring Annette O’Toole and Jordana Spiro (though the latter didn’t play the daughter in the pilot) that was rather good, indeed, and should’ve run longer…USA cable had it, when the cable channels were trying to get some eyes with actually good work from time to time. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the pilot before. Deals to some extent with similar dynamics, in a criminous rather than fantasticated context.
Pilot and episodes on Roku (no charge) with minimal ads (at least in the pilot,perhaps I’ll get more ads if I watch the episodes): https://therokuchannel.roku.com/watch/4eaf84fa357ccf0abd5fea5719fd6669
Todd, I’ll have to check out THE HUNTRESS.
Loved the first episode – I am a big Isla Fisher fan I- but no Peacock. Sad.
Jeff, we got Peacock in one of our Spectrum cable deals. I don’t know how long we’ll get it for free.
