At first, Jaye rails against what she believes are clear signs that she’s losing her ming, but eventually she resigns herself to being ‘fate’s bitch’. The animals’ instruction often lead Jaye into the path of others in need, while confusing and worrying those who care about her. While at work one day, a deformed wax lion speaks to her.įrom then on, Jaye finds herself receiving cryptic orders from various inanimate animals (statues, stuffed and mounted fish, stuffed animals, animal company logos, knitted animals on jumpers, and so on). Jaye Tyler (Caroline Dhavernas) is like many of us at 24 – a university graduate not using her degree at all, and instead wasting away at a tourist retail shop in Niagra Falls, New York. Trust me, once you start, you’ll find yourself racing to the end and wishing it would go on forever.

The series makes for excellent binge watching. If you think of it going in as a mini-series, you might not feel so heartbroken when it’s all over.

So, I decided to track down a copy of the series.Įven though the show was cancelled and there are only 13 episodes in its full run, the final episode, ‘Caged Bird’ does give viewers some kind of closure, making for a nice stand-alone series. The premise of the show sounded completely mad and it featured several actors I’m already big fans of: Lee Pace (who blew me away in Guardians of the Galaxy), Joss Whedon favourite Jewel Staite, and one of my favourites from Eureka, Neil Grayston. Eventually I did what anyone of my generation would do – I googled it. Honestly, why does anyone bother working with them anymore?ĭespite a devoted and still active (after ten years!) fan community, I had never even heard of Wonderfalls before joining tumblr, where the series began popping up all over my dashboard.
Is anyone surprised to know it was the same network that screwed the pooch with series like Firefly and Enlisted – yep, it was FOX. The full series of 13 episodes went on to appear on cable channel Logo in the US and Sky1 in the UK before being released on DVD. Sadly, the series was cancelled after only four episodes (which were aired out of the intended order and at different times and days). The series hits all the right notes, making us feel and wonder in equal measure, with eccentric and relatable characters suffering a number of real problems.
There is a timeless irreverent quality to Brian Fuller’s Wonderfalls.
