No real spoilers for ppl planning on getting the DVD set though.
Having just downloaded and watched up to episode 11 I can say again that this was one of the best new shows on TV in awhile. The storylines just get funnier and more entertaining, and unlike most shows I started really getting attached to the characters themselves. Even when the show engages in some sex-farce-like madcap plotting (*incredibly* funny in the mini-arc involving 'wrong love') there was a great emotional attachment to the characters and their predicaments. Wonderfalls is the rare show that manages to have entertaining plots consisting almost entirely of "good" people who may be flawed but who are all intelligent and inherently decent to each other and actually always try to do the right thing. A great ensemble cast really but the Tyler family especially are all perfectly cast, although they don't get much to do for the first few episodes.
Most everyone who watched the show noted that Caroline Dhavernas is smoking hot and seems to get more beautiful and just plain appealing every episode. If she's not getting into movies or getting more TV projects thrown at her than everyone in the Biz must be blind because she's charismatic and has great comic timing to go along with the ability to underplay emotional scenes. Any TV show with a cynical, hard drinking (seriously, she spends most of her free time tossing back shots at the bar and thats even before she falls for the bartender) sarcastic yet still not-annoying main character is worth checking out.
The DVD supposedly will be out in early December, showing all 13 episodes, including the whopping *9* unaired eps. Thanks for giving it a shot, Fox! That 4 eps run really gave ppl a chance to see how unique and well crafted the show was!
Sadly, I only have 2 eps left to watch. The ongoing story kicks so damn much ass, it's good to know the shows creators deliberately made it so the 13 eps they knew they'd film could sorta stand on their own as a self-contained entity.
