    To begin I'd like to point out that the trailer is definitely more exciting than the series is. It's a nice idea, the crossover kind of works. But it also does not for several reasons. Some actors are either really bad, or their characters are unintentionally very annoying. Like Alice for example. Throughout the storyline she is just too perky, too determined and too optimistic. Her fighting skills also are not well staged. The red queen has too much botox and a whiny voice. But her character becomes more likable throughout the story line. The truth of the matter is that the flashbacks are more interesting than the actual story. The show becomes better when it progresses and has some surprisingly interesting ideas. The genie story seems to work out slightly better than the wonderland story. But in the genie story, the characters are unrealistic in the sense that mother and sons seem to have an age difference of less than 10 years and some of them look more European-Arabic, which slightly annoyed me. The show does have some very good scenes, some great actors and very nicely placed characters like the white rabbit and the jabberwocky. The actors have chemistry and the show flows nicely with some scenes better than the others. Which makes it worth watching.

    In a time of magic (as so began another great series "Merlin") this was a wonderful series cut way too short. (One can only hope they come back on "Once Upon A Time). With an amazing cast, Sophie Lowe as "Alice" and Peter Gadiot as "The Genie" are a wonderful couple. The story revolves around Alice and her adventures in Wonderland. The real world thinks that she is crazy but of course she is not. She journeys into Wonderland to find her love and adventures ensue. The voice of John Lithgow as the White Rabbit is perfect. Michael Socha is a great Knave of a Hearts. Emma Rigby is brilliant as the Red Queen. Naveen Andrews is the PERFECT Jafar. What I really LOVE about this show and "Once Upon A Time" is that it give adults a fairytale to love. If you don't want to grow up...then try this one. Go back to the time of childhood and enjoy falling in love with love. I will miss this dearly. I cannot believe that they canceled this show. Great writing, great scenery, great cast.........what more do you need??? The one big plus is that if you had to end this amazing show they did it perfectly. Bravo to the writers. I guess next time we may be finding ourselves in OZ as a series.

    Calling this a train-wreck would be a disservice to all train-wrecks. I don't even know where to begin. Everything about this show is just wrong. The actors (does this take place in Britain?) are so wooden it at times appears to be stop-motion animation. The writing (is each script selected at random from a second grade class writing assignment?). The production (taken from the trash bin of the Wizard of Oz set?). The storyline makes no sense at all. The action sequences are so amateurish that I'm wondering if the viewer is meant to laugh. I actually felt sorry for the actors because this has to be a very public embarrassment for them. Their only saving grace will be that any discerning viewer will have tuned out long before the season fades into obscurity.

    Alright first off, I understand that this is from the creators from Once Upon a Time on Sundays. BUT why within the first episode they used the exact same set when the king fellow went to wonderland with the rabbit COME ON BE Original, use something else.. That was my first question, as it progressed on to the second episode, WHY and WHY was Jafar and the Genni in here? They are not from wonderland, at all! Next lets not forget their poor choice in ACTORS, the Red Queen... the actress is terrible, her lips are just, I don't even know, she is not suited for the part, and just.. I have to leave it there. Their plot line, just makes no sense SO FAR, sense there is not Hatter? This is wonderland! It should have the Hatter within the first episode! Now, the whole Genni and Jafar just DO NO GO at all with a wonderland theme.
