Wonderland Audience Reviews

Wordiezett So much average
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
ween-3 What can I say? Isn't there a cable network to pick this show back up? And I got a bad sinking feeling that "Gideon's Crossing" is about to suffer the same tragic fate. The "Homicide" curse, I guess. With all the garbage that passes for entertainment on television, it's a shame to see quality shows fall by the wayside. "Law and Order", "West Wing" and "Will and Grace" survive..so there's obviously an audience for intelligent writing and acting. It seems that ABC is unwilling to hype their best shows, and as a result, deservedly continues to lose market share. All that money to advertise the "Geena Davis" debacle? Seems to me that a reassessment is in order.
plworland Heightens my awareness, empathy, and knowledge in how close each of us are to that "fine line." The drama is intense, and detractors will say stereotypical. The acting is superb, the plots heart-pounding, and the outcomes gut wrenching.
plomac When people would ask what I wanted to do for a living I used to have to explain what forensic psychology was and that it did not involve gathering hair at a crime scene. Now I can just tell them to watch this truly amazing show. After just two episodes I already find myself wondering if this could be the best show I've ever seen. Both episodes left me emotionally drained and wishing for much, much more.
DrCarol I came to "Wonderland" with a combination of high hopes (based on the universally favourable reviews and ABC's intriguing ads) and fears that NAMI's charges of violence and hopelessness might have some basis in fact. Of course "Wonderland" contains moments of violence--the subject matter makes that inevitable. But they are balanced by moments of hope and love, in particular the funny, tender scenes involving Dr. Banger (Ted Levine) and the little sons he loves and fears he'll lose in a custody battle with his soon-to-be ex-wife. Never mind that these two people obviously love each other and ought to stay together--this is just one example of the human element, the blending of work and private life in this marvelously written, beautifully acted, impeccably filmed tv series. I'm judging by one episode, but I have no reason not to expect the same high quality in future episodes that I saw tonight watching "Wonderland" for the first time. Bravo, Peter Berg and ABC and all the marvellous cast, psychiatrists and patients alike.
