Onde Está a Wanda?

Im a native german speaker, being able to watch it in its original language is a big plus. I can safely say the acting is outstanding. Especially the two leads, carlotta and dedo. Apart from them there are many outstanding performances as well. I accidentally watched a scene in english once and the dubbing couldnt quite grasp the original tone of the show. Its german in the best way possible, i cant put it any differently. The humor to me is perfection. The plot is gripping and kept me entertained throughout. With 5 episodes out and three to come i doubt theres anything that could happen that'd make me dislike this show. Its quickly become one of my favourite shows. I love the cinematography and i adore the intro. I showed it to my girlfriend and sister and they were both instantly obsessed with it too. I love that AppleTv+ doesnt shy away from actually spending money on their shows. Netflix has been disappointing me in that department. They'd rather produce 10 seasons of mediocre shows and give them a small starting budget, then cancel all except one or two who do really well. AppleTv+ has a higher budget for their shows and the cinematography really stands out to me again and again (eg in Acapulco and The Big Door Prize). I hope that it'll be renewed or at the very least a wrapped up story. I'm excited to see whats to come.

I liked this show so much!

The writing THE ORIGINAL STORY You have to give it a chance Honestly I was shocked about the ratings and now I am scared there won't be a season two Thia my first time writing a review and I am telling you to go watch now it's really sweet , amusing and surprisingly funny I liked every character the photography too .

It starts a bit slow but I found that necessary to the viewers build sympathy whith tha characters i really cried and laughed out loud in so many scenes The ending is just wow I am so excited for season two ( fingers crossed)

There were so many interesting characters and I feel the length of the show really good they didn't miss anything and served each character it's due.

Where's Wanda? Is an 8 episode dark comedy series which sees Parent's Dedo and Carlotta take matters into their own hands to search for their missing 17 year old daughter, Wanda. After bugging most of their small town they get much more than they bargained for. Each episode is like a new chapter in a book, focusing on a new family which sheds light on the town, the individuals or Wanda. It's a fun box of mysteries. We often jump between the day Wanda went missing and the present day with new information filling in blanks and helping us to see situations from different vantage points.

The show is self-aware and check ins with several themes including relationships, sexuality, loss, friendships, loneliness and comes with several pop culture references not to mention some enjoyable narration from Wanda herself. Where's Wanda? Is carried by its fun nature and many quirky characters including Carlotta who is the strong head of the family, Dedo who is the happy go lucky husband and Ms Rauch who grounds the show as a no nonsense detective.

Ep7 compares an interesting criminal case to a good novel where you need a strong story, loads of characters and interconnected plots that are brought together in a satisfactory manner. For the most part, Where's Wanda? Manages to bring its plot together. Whilst there are a couple of questionable script choices and a few leaps in believability overall Where's Wanda? Is an easy to watch, fun, enjoyable and gripping comedic mystery that ticks many boxes.

I've now watched the first four episodes. Initially, I thought it would be another 40+ minute show I'd drop for being boring and slow, but surprisingly, it wasn't. The start of the first episode was pretty average, and I wasn't sure if I should continue or stop, but it kept getting better and even had some genuinely funny scenes in the last 20 minutes. The second episode, although longer, remained engaging and interesting without a single dull moment. The third and fourth episode were also intriguing.

Few reviewers are complaining that they don't sympathize with Wanda's character because they only saw one scene where she was acting annoyingly. They don't care enough to feel sorry for her being missing or to wonder if her parents will be able to find her, and I understand that. But, as you continue watching the episodes, you'll start to feel sympathy for the parents. They are doing much more than most parents would to find their daughter, and the brother is also doing everything he can to help. Watching them try to find her in a crazy and borderline illegal way is entertaining.

You'll enjoy it more if you don't think too logically about what's happening. For example, they're spying on people to get information on their missing daughter, but they're doing it in the most amateurish way possible-if this were real life, they'd have been caught more than five times by now.

This might be my first German show, and I'm enjoying it so far. The lead characters, Carlotta and Dedo, are really likable, and the actors playing them are fantastic. The cast, direction, writing, and intro music (Mania by Alice Merton) are all great. So far, it's an interesting watch that shows what some parents go through to find their child, with a comedic and slightly emotional touch. I'll update my review after finishing it.

Update: Just finished Season 1, and it was awesome! Every week, I waited for the new episode. The last episode was really interesting and entertaining. I was actually about to cancel my Apple Plus membership, but when I found this show, just watching the first few episodes made me renew it.

I wish there had been a complete ending, but they left it on a bit of a cliffhanger, which I don't mind. I'd love a Season 2 or 3, though I don't fully trust Apple since they've canceled good shows after just one season, like Still Up.

If what happens at the end actually happens, they might just have to change the show's title. I didn't like the tiger scene that much. Anyway, I'd still love to see more of these characters and more German shows like this. It's the best mystery drama I've seen this year-totally binge-worthy, and I'd definitely recommend it. 4/5.

After watching the show, and only learning towards the start of the first episode that it was in German I must say that the acting was so compelling I almost didn't need to use the subtitles. It's a quirky comedy with a complex dynamic of family emotions in a very trying time After the first two episodes. I'm excited to see more.

Wanda's mother or the actress who plays her is what steals the show. There were a few scenes in the first episode where I was completely captivated by the actresses ability to convey those complex emotions I mentioned earlier, the only downside of the show and reading subtitles while watching it is that you can find yourself missing out on incredible color pallets and visually interesting camera work trying to decipher a sentence during an important plot point.
