Alice
2009
In this reimagining of Lewis Carroll's classic novels, Caterina Scorsone stars as Alice, a young woman who descends into the twisted world of Wonderland after her boyfriend is abducted by the Queen of Hearts (Kathy Bates) and forced to gamble in her royal casino. As the Hatter (Andrew Lee Potts) helps her battle a secret society called the White Rabbit, Alice uncovers the source of the Queen's wicked power. Tim Curry co-stars in this miniseries.

Lots of imaginative fun with an authentic 60's vibe going full tilt. Scorsone is serious and believable, Potts is an adorable almost-grown-up Dodger, and Bates is mesmerizing as always. Slow in parts, but lots of retro adventure and liveliness.
A few times the effects were a bit shabby, but overall it was a fun and surreal series.
