Movie Reviews of Wonderfalls - The Complete Series
Movie Review: Wonderfalls
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite series of all times. I sought it out initially because I am a Tracie Thoms fan. Campy characters that you can't help but root for. By the end of it you will be singing along to the theme song.Movie Review: Before Pushing Daisies there was Wonderfalls
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great show - well worth seeing. The cast is great and the stories very clever. A shame that it was canceled so early. It has the same quirkiness that Pushing Daisies has with a more down to earth style though. I rented it and quickly realized that I'd want to rewatch several episodes so I bought the set and am very glad I did. Movie Review: Fabulous Amazing one of the best shows ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderfalls is completely new to me, as in I hadn't even heard of the show untill very recently. I ran across this one while serching shows similiar to my current favorite series Pushing Daisies Pushing Daisies - The Complete First Season So I rented it, and now I must own it. Put it this way I watched all 13 episodes in like a day and a half, I was floored I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this show. Every episode is better then the last, and so funny I laughed until I was coughing many times. Wonderfalls is one of those rare shows that only come around once in a while, where everything just seems to fit, and there's absolutely nothing you would change about the series. I'm sort of relieved that I missed the show when it aired, it disgusts me when brilliant shows like this one are passed over in favor of um...lets say shows that are more flash and less brain. Also, I got to miss out on the frustration of an incomplete story. I never saw the few episodes that aired, So I got to experience the series as a whole the way it was meant to be seen. I worried slightly over there being only 13 episoeds, thinking that when the credits roled on the finale I would feel like nothing was resolved and that I had wasted my time and money. Happily though, this was not the case. At the emd I was very satisfied there was and end, but not an ending. As though the story would go on to what ever end a viewer choose, even if they wern't there to see it. I love shows that end this way. I really can't say enough good things about this series. If you want to be seriously entertained, and have a slightly twisted sense of humor. then Wonderfalls is a must see again and again. Movie Review: What a great series
Summary: 5 Stars
The concept is interesting, the characters are compelling, and the stories interesting. It's the story of a reluctant hero, drafted against her will to help others.
The idea is an interesting one. Inanimate objects give the lead character hints of actions she needs to take to avoid serious consequences. Most of the time the consequences are for someone else, which means helping an often hard-to-help person.
Like a horoscope, the objects do a good job of dropping hints of what actions need to be taken to ensure a good outcome. And like a horoscope, those hints can be interpreted in many different ways. Misinterpreting the hints provides the mystery that drives the stories.
Though it was canceled after only one season, they did write a full story, so there you aren't stuck with a cliffhanger at the end of the last episode that never gets resolved.
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: Wonderfalls (a series ahead of it's time?)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great series!! I loved the few episodes I caught on tv before it disappeared. I'm so glad I got to see it on DVD. I am very disappointed there were/are no networks forward-thinking enough to pick it up after FOX canceled it. Looking at the overwhelming number of positive reviews, it kind of makes you think that maybe tv execs don't always know what they're doing, eh?
This series was original and unique (perhaps ahead of it's time?), and I just loved Caroline Dhavernas in the role of Jaye. Her expressions are priceless. Check this great (short) series out. Give it a chance beyond the first few episodes and watch it evolve.
I feel sorry for the people who didn't care for the series. Curmudgeon much? In any case, chances are most of you will love it as much as the (at the time of this review) 301 out of 317 other reviewers did. :)
