6.5/10
A playful seesaw of oddball comedy and crime mystery

Where’s Wanda? is a playful seesaw of odd comedy and crime/mystery. Its humor is over the top awkward, and it feels like it goes out of its way to test your limits for cringe. Wanda (Lea Drinda), in particular, is someone you can be naturally drawn to with an endearing but elusive presence, and they give you just enough per episode to care that she’s gone. The jumping timeline takes the scenic route at times, but if that scene involves the chemistry of the Klatts (Heike Makatsch and Axel Stein), I wouldn't mind at all. Altogether a lovably magnetic comedy you just can’t look away from.

Synopsis

After the Klatts' daughter goes missing, they take matters into their own hands and hatch a wild plan: Spy on the neighborhood. As they make their way into small-time espionage, shocking secrets come to light one by one.

Storyline

Desperate to find their missing daughter after months, parents Carlotta and Dedo take matters into their own hands and run surveillance on their neighborhood.

TLDR

Desperation is a fascinating hydra.

What stands out

That title sequence deserves some sort of award.
