Watch ‘Wonderland’
“Wonderland” came to an end eight years ago on ABC, and it’s special run on DirecTV is ending soon, as well.
So don’t miss the second-to-last episode premiering Feb. 25 (9 p.m. on DirectTV’s 101 Nework). It features Samuel L. Jackson (”Pulp Fiction”) and Giancarlo Esposito (”Homicide: Life on the Street”) as guest stars.
“Wonderland,” which delves into the lives of doctors at a fictional New York psychiatric hospital, lasted only two episodes on ABC. DirecTV acquired the show — including six unaired episodes — and began airing the series on Jan. 14.
The series stars a lot of actors who went on to more memorable roles: Ted Levine (”Monk”), Patricia Clarkson (”Vicky Christina Barcelona”), Michelle Forbes (”In Treatment”), Billy Burke (”Fringe”), Dax Griffin (”The Bold and the Beautiful”), Martin Donovan (”Ghost Whisperer”) and Michael Jai White (”The Dark Knight”).
And the series also included a lot of recognizeable guest stars, including Jackson (”Pulp Fiction”) in the upcoming seventh episode titled “Personality Plus.” His character tries to woo an admittance clerk away from her slacker boyfriend. Espositio plays a man with multiple personalities who has kidnapped his diabetic son.
Oklahoma-born Oscar-winning director Ron Howard (”A Beautiful Mind”) was an executive producer for “Wonderland.” That alone is worth giving it a look.

Esposito’s work on this episode was absolute brilliance. Yet, it is not listed on his CV or IMDB bio.
I wonder why?
