Suggested by a colleague, this very-mini series (2 episodes of about 90 minutes each) capture every hook and notch of the imagination.
Wonderland has progressed a lot since the "Alice of Legend" passed by (come to think of it, it is probably about a 150 years ago it was written?). But the Red Queen is still evil and people try to stop her.
Many characters make their appearance in the story: Alice (though repeatedly not -the- Alice, "Just Alica"), the Caterpillar, Mad Hatter, March Hare, &etc.
Alice, who lost her father when she was 10, finds herself in a world dominated by the Red Queen who uses the "Oysters", people from our world, to extract "real feelings", basically drugs.
The story is great, the acting is good. The settings are believable. No continuous Deus Ex Machina like in "Tin Man", even though the part where Alice, played by a convincing Caterina Scorsone, manages to turn everybody against the Red Queen in the end, happens rather sudden. The change characters go through, the wonderful Don Quichote-role of the White Knight (Matt Frewer, "Trashman" from "The Stand")...
The jokes are funny, but also "believable". They might be funny to the viewer, but they make sense to the story and/or characters.
