Welcome to Now See This, THR chief TV critic Daniel Fienberg’s weekly viewer guide newsletter dedicated to cutting through the daunting clutter of the broadcast, cable and streaming TV landscape! Comments and suggestions welcome at daniel.fienberg@thr.com.

The Place Beyond the Lupines

It isn't just your imagination! Wolves are everywhere on the small screen these days. They're metaphorical (HBO Max's Raised by Wolves). They're literal and metaphorical (Peacock's new dark rom-com Wolf Like Me). They're possibly fraudulent (Netflix's documentary  Misha and the Wolves ). They're very, very, very literal and attacking our main characters (HBO Max's Station Eleven and Showtime's Yellowjackets). There's whatever is happening on The Witcher and The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. Meanwhile “The Tale of Two Wolves” has become such a go-to TV allegory that I used it to start my review of Netflix's  Archive 81, a creepy horror drama with no wolves to speak of. If you're looking to spend a weekend in the company of wolves — Neil Jordan's twisted fairy tale of that title is on Amazon — I'm ranking them Station Eleven > Yellowjackets > Wolf Like Me > Something Called WolfCop on Amazon that I haven't seen, but looks awesome.

Not-So-Mellow 'Yellowjackets' 

If you've been waiting to catch up on Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson's Showtime series Yellowjackets, now is the time. The first season, which blends survival thrills, '90s nostalgia and the bleakest of dark comedy, wraps on Sunday, and the last couple episodes are bonkers, showcasing award-worthy performances from folks like Christina Ricci and Melanie Lynskey. After you've binged the season, including the finale, be sure to check THR because Lesley Goldberg and I have a special bonus TV's Top 5 podcast with an hourlong interview with Lyle and Nickerson. Meanwhile, this week's regular TV's Top 5 has a great, revealing chat with  Peacemaker showrunner James Gunn.

Somebody Up There Likes 'Somebody Somewhere'

There are no wolves in HBO's new half-hour dramedy Somebody Somewhere, but there are Jayhawks? The Kansas-set series has loosely autobiographical elements for star Bridget Everett but, in addition to giving Everett a long-overdue vehicle, it carves out its own sometimes melancholy, sometimes funny, always empathetic space. It premieres Sunday, and our Angie Han calls it "a mostly low-key delight that occasionally spills over into sheer exuberance."

Birnam Wood Comes to High Apple TV+

I've gotta say, Joel Coen going with the title The Tragedy of Macbeth for his Shakespeare adaptation totally spoils that the Scottish Play doesn't have a peppy, upbeat ending. Our David Rooney called it "among the most audacious" of modern takes on the Bard and praised stars Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand, as well as Bruno Delbonnel's cinematography. For something a bit different, Eternals , Chloe Zhao's follow-up to the Oscar-winning Nomadland , polarized Marvel fans, but Rooney deemed this new Disney+ arrival to be "a soulful variation on a familiar template."

Honoring Bob Saget

I'm a hair too old for Bob Saget to have been my childhood personification of TV fatherhood, but the sincere outpouring of affection for the Full House favorite and standup legend who died this week at 65 was extremely touching. Full House is available in its entirety on HBO Max (along with the Saget-directed Dirty Work ) if you wanted to pay your own tribute. You can catch Saget's documentary-stealing performance at the center of  The Aristocrats on Amazon, Tubi and Crackle. And you can hear Saget in How I Met Your Mother on Hulu, which you could be watching in unnecessary preparation for Hulu's new How I Met Your Father.

This Week's THR Staff Pick 

THR social media manager Ryan Fish raves, "Dopesick offers a wide-ranging look at the opioid epidemic. It examines how OxyContin took hold throughout America, providing a look at the real human lives it affected. From the doctor who prescribed it to the citizens who took it, the executives who wittingly sacrificed lives for profit, and the government agent who tried to take them down, the series lays bare one of Big Pharma’s greatest exploitations. It’s an important story that all Americans should give their attention to."
