Wolf Like Me (2022– )
7/10
Well made, enjoyable but relies on silly plot contrivances

To start with the good stuff, it is an extremely clever update on the werewolf legend that can be pretty hard to make interesting. There's not much you can do with the simple werewolf premise after all!

However it loses points because it does rely on facepalm moments of jaw dropping silliness in order to make the plot actually move along. Here are 3 off the top of my head (spoiler warning):

1) The protagonists go on a lunch date and she forgets the time ON THE DAY OF THE FULL MOON.

2) Going camping in the remote outback THE DAY BEFORE A FULL MOON. Oh no they have a flat battery so guess what they're stranded and she turns into a wolf.

3) Daughter has a panic attack and she needs pills. But guess what, a young girl has pinched them and is feeding the fish with them. So they ring the father who is at home with his wife who is contained in the basement as she's a werewolf right now. He gets the pills but guess what, he presses the 'open basement door' button instead of the 'open front door' button.

Oh silly me!

So yeah it's annoying but I'll look past it. Great soundtrack too.
