Wonderfalls

The overall series is kind of slow. It's not punchy with jokes and fast reaction speed. It plays on the calm. Not much really happens. If they fit this show in a 20 minute format, it would probably have been edgier. It does have a few clever nods.

Episode 1 -Wax Lion" The introduction. It introduces all the characters. It had a interesting premise, as well as a bunch of 'wonder' in it, with the scenes of the coins. The whole thing led to her sister proclaiming that she is a lesbian in a awkward dinner scene. It was pretty good.

Episode 2 - Karma Chameleon It played on the idea of 'evil twin' kind of thing, where a girl who likes the protagonist wants to be her. Then it sort of falls into a 'I must give a moral of the story' ending, as well as a discussion on Generation Y.

Episode 3 - "Karma Chameleon" - It told it's story by releasing the tidbit 'Bring her back to him'. Afterwards, it becomes a muddy mess where you're not sure where it goes.
