  1. Let’s see now… The teaser at the start of the show turns out to be a cheat. Absolutely nothing else happens until the end of the second commercial break, and that’s the totally unbelievable proposal. And the only hook for the entire series is ‘will he or won’t he sacrifice his car for the girl?’ That’s pretty thin, not to mention lame. It’s like it was devised and written by writers who have never seen anything but Neighbours and Home and Away, and don’t know any better.

  2. Arrow would have rated better for Nein if they launched it straight out of the blind auditions of The Voice instead of The Following, and put it in the Tuesday 8:30 timeslot like they initially planned

    Look at the success Ten has had for Under the Dome in the same timeslot. With no interruptions from State of Origin it would have much better momentum as well

  3. I thought Wonderland was good last night, glade to see it rated well for TEN. I wasn’t looking for a new show but like it and really not interested in hard hitting drama right now.

  4. Yeah Wonderland doesn’t interest me either bit im glad it did good numbers for ten. It seems networks can’t portray our current lifestyles on a tv series. I don’t see why we haven’t seen the current generation on tv. Are we too complicated? lol

  5. I don’t understand why people slam shows that combine drama and humour. Isn’t that just like real life? Our lives are not just drama and not just comedy. I actually prefer shows that mix comedy and drama. I tend to give the full-on dramas a miss these days and most sitcoms are sad.
