Overall Rating: Promising
I was very skeptical of how enjoyable this show would be. I think both the book and Disney movie of Alice in Wonderland are terrible, and it’s a spin-off (haven’t been any worthwhile spin-offs since Buffy/Angel). But, because I am a fan of Once Upon a Time I thought I’d give it a shot.
Pros:
- The cinematography is mesmerizing.
- Much like OUaT, it takes the most interesting parts of fantasy worlds/characters and blends them together seamlessly. I can always admire writers that put in the work to create a world with its own “laws of science” per se. By comparison, those that create a story in the “real world” seem lazy.
- John Lithgow
- The characters are intriguing. Alice’s daddy issues alone could fill two volumes, and if its predecessor is any indication of things to come, there will be plenty of long, twisty back stories and surprisingly human villains. I just love a good flash back.
