Review of Wilfred

Wilfred (2011–2014)
8/10
I rewatch this show at LEAST once a year!!!
9 November 2022
I watched Wilfred as it was airing live on TV, I remember seeing the ads for it and was definitely intrigued. Plus, when I'm a fan of someone ( Elijah Wood) I watch pretty much anything and everything they've ever been a part of. And Elijah Wood tends to choose really great projects... anyways Wilfred is NOT for everyone, it's not meant to just be a simple comedy like The Office or Parks and Rec, this show is much deeper and more complex, it's not just that Ryan seems a man in a dog suit so we see a full grown man on the floor wrestling with the vacuum as Ryan is trying to clean, but the show really dives deep into the "why". Why is Ryan seeing this, and no one else can and what does it all mean exactly? It's full of intellectual substance and life lessons that actually make you think, and honestly I'll pick up on things the more I rewatch it that I didn't notice the first time, and I LOVE that. It definitely gets raunchy at times and there are some pretty dark and or heavy jokes that probably "offend" some people. But I think the writing overall is absolutely genius, it's real and very honest and the actors themselves help make that happen with even the smallest of details in the choices they make. Whenever someone tells me they didn't like Wilfred, I just think that's because it's an intelligent show which is meant for intelligent people. ;) haha but almost every person I've recommended this too has loved it! Exceptional writing on a fantastic, original and very creative subject, the acting is top notch, even the editing and music are great. This show overall just makes me happy and there's times where I just crave watching it, which like I said usually happens at LEAST once a year.
