The team that brought you Tin Man, a loose reimagining of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, takes on Alice in Wonderland, saturated with Darker and Edgier and Rule of Cool. When martial arts instructor Alice Hamilton (Caterina Scorsone) sees her boyfriend, Jack Chase, being taken away by some mysterious men in a white van, she chases one of them Through the Looking Glass... and into a Crapsack World. Guided by Hatter (Andrew-Lee Potts) and The White Knight (Matt Frewer), Alice goes looking for Jack, but discovers that things aren't all that wonderful in Wonderland.This series was a mini-series broadcast in December, 2009. It is not to be confused with the CBS Work Com starring Linda Lavin.The director has recently done Neverland.

comment
Mythology Gag: Where to start? When giving the password to the Great Library, Hatter says that he's returning a book by Edwin and Morcar. They are both historical figures mentioned by the Dodo in his lecture about William the Conqueror in the novel. When the Tweedles give Alice a desk to write on, it has a pair of white gloves and a fan on it. In the novel, Alice found these things on the White Rabbit's desk. Hatter introduces himself and Charlie as Robinson and Duckworth. Robinson Duckworth was part of the boating expedition where Carroll first told the tale. Possibly doubling as a Visual Pun, the last shot of the series is Alice, Hatter, and Carol seen through a looking glass.

Power of Love: Winston's entire motivation; he claims he would have conquered the world so the queen would give him just one smile. And they never tell us how big Wonderland is, so maybe he did. What leads the Hatter through the Looking Glass, and a number of smaller instances. And The Carpenter's Heel–Face Turn, but that was more paternal love.

comment
Torture Always Works: Subverted. Both Alice and Hatter are tortured during the course of the mini. Alice feeds them false information. Hatter screamed a lot. Interestingly, the Ten of Clubs reflexively calls Alice's false lead her 'confession', which might indicate that the Truth Room is not primarily used for getting factual information.

Alice's mother is named Carol. Which could also be considered to fit doubly so - Alice Liddell, who inspired the book, named her youngest son "Caryl".

Men Are the Expendable Gender: Yeah. The dead Winston King of Hearts, Carpenter/Robert Hamilton, Walrus, and potentially Agent White are all men. Admittedly, there were not a great many female roles at the forefront of the show aside from Alice and the Queen. Duchess could have theoretically qualified for expendable because Redemption Equals Death but it was averted in her case. Probably just as well. Somebody had to rescue Jack.

Super-Strength
 Alice (2009) / int_a8c6a317
comment
Super Strength: Though not stated outright, Hatter can punch hard enough to leave a small crater in a wall. It may not be strength; there was an early throwaway line mentioning "that sledgehammer you call a hand". To which Hatter replies "It's just flesh and blood." Not that we're sure he's telling the truth at that point... During his fight with The Dodo, Hatter misses punching Dodo in the face and punches a marble pillar. Given how easy it is to break small bones in one's hand punching a person, it's fairly impressive that Hatter punched the pillar and the pillar broke.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Hatter effing earned that hug and kiss he got in the last scene, with all that he went through for Alice. He even whispers: "Finally!" as it happens.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: The Queen of Hearts assumes that Jack chose Alice because she was useful to him, not because he fell in love with her.

The Dog Bites Back: Eventually, everyone in Wonderland rebels against the Queen of Hearts, after years of being threatened with execution or torture at the drop of a hat. Winston, the King of Hearts, doesn't do anything outright to her, but he does defy her pleas for him to evacuate the palace.

During his fight with The Dodo, Hatter misses punching Dodo in the face and punches a marble pillar. Given how easy it is to break small bones in one's hand punching a person, it's fairly impressive that Hatter punched the pillar and the pillar broke.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: During the course of the miniseries, Hatter is beaten, mussed, and generally looked like he went through a meat grinder. Alice... got wet a lot. Also, while most of the "oysters" got a marking on their faces, Alice got one on her arm. It also must be noted that Hatter's Guyliner never smudged, no matter what he was put through.
