Cancelled? Cancelled? Excuse me. That was on my watch list and you cancelled it.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to this special review featuring the Once Upon a Time spin off TV series, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. As you may have figured out already, I am particularly peeved about the recent news of this show. ABC thought it would be hilarious to cancel yet another great show and keep the crap shows for everyone to fry their brains on. What is this show about, you ask? What makes it so great? As your critic, I will be delighted to enlighten you why OUTW (my abbreviation because the title is too long) is such a great show.
I know what you might be thinking. Do we really need another version of Alice in Wonderland in the world? The answer is yes, especially this version. What makes this version so special? There are crossovers. Not only that, but the entire cast is absolutely brilliant! The main characters are played by Sophie Lowe (Alice), Michael Socha (Knave of Hearts), Emma Rigby (The Red Queen), Peter Gadiot (Cyrus), and Naveen Andrews (Jafar). I don’t know about you, but whoever casted the show is a downright genius.
More on the plot.
The first episode was a little rough, I will admit. In fact, the whole show was a little rough until about halfway through. Now I know that sounds bad, but the show is just different than others on television. You really do have to give it a chance. The graphics are bad and cheap and the plot is kind of cheesy in the beginning, and even though there are better shows to watch, OUTW is addicting! I have to say that the longer I watched it, the better it got, and that’s how I decide if a show is worth watching. If the first episode is interesting enough, I’ll give it a season or two. If it doesn’t make any signs of getting better, I take it off of my watchlist. OUTW has been on my watchlist since the beginning, and it wasn’t going anywhere. That is until ABC decided to cancel it. It’s ironic that just when I was really getting into it, it’s taken away. Not to mention that they cancelled for the dumbest reason anyone could come up with. They canceled it because it being scheduled on Thursday was a problem. So they just cancelled the whole thing.
As much as I would love to tell you guys what it’s all about, my lips are sealed. You have to find out for yourself. Normal critics will probably give you a non-spoiler summary, however I am not exactly “normal”. All I can say is that it’s worth it, and if we all raise hell about it, there is no way ABC can say no.
Thank you so much for reading! I post fairly regularly, so stay tuned and I’ll be out with another article very soon! Leave comments and tell me what you think about this topic. I’d love to make conversation! 🙂
