Where's Wanda?

Look, we're only 3 episodes into this series, so nobody can really rate it fairly except on those three episodes.

After the first episode, I would have rated it a 5/10. After the second episode, I would have given it a 7/10, and after the third episode, I'm sticking with 7/10.

The first episode was a little goofy and just so wholesome as to be boringly corny. Add the German language and culture (which is the primary reason I'm watching this series, for language learning), and it seemed like they didn't know what they were doing. Just another poorly written German series when they're honestly capable of so much more.

BUT, after the second episode, with a decent cliffhanger-like ending that makes you question what you think you know from the first episode, you think OK, I gotta see the next episode to see what happens. Of course, that was last week and the third episode just came out a day or two ago.

So, after the third episode, you get another little morsel of potential plot twisting that teases the idea that you, the viewer, don't have the whole picture here in this story. There seems to be something completely off going on here. Like maybe I'm being played with, as the viewer. Almost, maybe, topsy-turvy.

Yeah, I'd go as far as to give it an 8/10 at this point, but not until I see some proof of what I'm seeing, proof that there may be some really ingenious writing here, not just people who seem clever, but are actually bad writers trying to be clever.

It's definitely worth hanging onto this series through the end of the season to see what happens. Take the season as a whole before deciding if this is good or not.
