More of Wonderland

Strong characters and a well-realised setting make this more than just another spin-off.

WITH the huge success of Once Upon A Time (OUAT, now in its third season in the United States), it is not surprising that a spin-off idea emerged from the television series’ many tangled plotlines. And given that some of OUAT’s most interesting episodes have involved Wonderland – who could forget delicious characters like the Mad Hatter and The Queen Of Hearts? – it also makes sense to set this new series in the realm that was birthed in Lewis Carroll’s imagination.
