Once Upon a Time in Wonderland
ABC (USA), CityTV (Canada)
It wasn't memorable. It was boring and unproductive. It has terrible CGI. It was tedious. I wish that it was better. I thought that it could've been a lot better. Most everything can be. But yeah, I have nothing else to say about it, it's just so bland.
2/5

Dracula
Broadcast by:
NBC (USA), GlobalTV(Canada)
Technically, this is the best network pilot of the fall. The sets are ravishing. The score works incredibly well. The special effects are wonderful, in particular a sequence involving lights is beautiful. The acting was very good. The American accent from Jonathan Rhys Meyers is great and convincing It's beautifully shot. And the story didn't go for a gore fest like it could've, it was legitimately interesting. I was ready to give this an A-... until the final break. The final 5 minutes were so out of place and startling that it almost completely ruined it. But, in the end, I really liked it, even though the final minutes weren't good at all.
3/5

Almost Human
Sleek, sure, but this is style over substance. I do like Karl Urban and Michael Ealy, but they weren't enough to save it.
2.5/5
