tiffleah I never watched Wilfred when it was on the air because I wasn't much of a TV watcher. However when I saw that Wilfred was on Netflix both the US version and Australian version, I had to give it a shot. It took me an episode or two to really get into it, but I really loved the relationship between Wilfred and Ryan. I thought about it a lot throughout my viewing of the show and the various theories that I have heard about before about the actual nature of the show and how Ryan really sees Wilfred as a human in a dog suit. Why can't it just be about two friends who help each other get through each day. They get each other in trouble, and they help each other out (whether either one of them is real or not). It is hard to say if I think Wilfred is real or not, but he definitely helped Ryan get through some tough life issues. It is a great bond that they have, and I would gladly recommend this show to anyone out there.

Norm K First off, I watched the pilot of this show with my wife and we both went, "Huh?!". But next week we were back at the television because we wanted to see how Ryan was handling his life. This is what the show is about.Ryan is troubled. He is basically good and honest but it appears he has some darker issues. Is Wilfred an evil, conniving mind-reading dog-man from outer space? It could be. There are more likely explanations though.The humor in this show is dark... terribly dark and often gross. Small children and impressionable pets should not watch this show.Ryan is often horrified by the perverse ideals professed by his canine friend. But is he actually horrifying himself with his own delusions as he is beginning to suspect? Some people have called Wilfred's character "evil" and that is putting a religious twist on the whole thing. Aren't the things that religion calls evil and depraved really the darker twistings of mental illness? "Wilfred" is dark and twisted. I have seen the whole series and it must be seen from beginning to end to really understand it. It is more of a long mini series than a sitcom. It is also more of a drama that dares to be funny than it is a comedy. (Though I rolled on the floor laughing occasionally.)It is worth your time and attention. If it seems shallow and surface-y at first, have patience. Many things that happen in the early episodes come back in later seasons in new light.

mtsoper2 I Go bonkers for Always Sunny in Philadelphia, coo coo for The Office, and will stop everything else I'm doing for Family Guy. I HATED them upon first view. So when I decided to give Wilfred a chance, I prepared to hunker down and power-watch an avante garde marathon of orginality and hilarity, and throw formulaic comedy to the "dogs"!Annnnnd ouch, this canine has serious dog breath. I wanted to love this show, I really did. But i just can't get past the stagnant dynamic between Ryan (Elijah Wood) and Wilfred (Jason Gann). They constantly banter back and forth about the meaning of Ryan's life, and, yes, only Ryan can see all the silly and "dog- like" things that wilfred does that are supposed to be witty because, OMG, thats so crazy that a human dressed in a campy halloween dog outfit doing crass and crude things like humping legs, eating small animals, and defecating where he pleases! This is where I expected the show to really step up to the plate....It never did. I watched 7 episodes in a row, knowing full well that after episode 2 I wanted to take my own imaginary dog for a walk just to escape the frustrating claustrophobia of Ryan, Wilfred, and his would be love interest. The show only succeeds in serving the same menu episode after episode, advancing the plot line *very* slowly and eventually replacing the viewers interest in the narrative with cutesy "ha ha, I'm a human doing silly dog things, but it's funnier because I have a British accent". Stay away! Bad dog!

Bobby Nasr If you like wise comedy/drama mixed all together with a post-modern touch you definitely will enjoy Wilfred. Almost at the end of season 2, the writers behind the scenes are really doing their best to keep up the good work. Haven't watched the original Australian series I don't feel something is missing and to be honest each episode contains dialogs and lines you have to analyze and think about. What really amazes me though is for the first time I am watching an accurate depiction of how a dog would think, react and characterize itself. I hope they won't cancel this show soon and let it find its way through popularity. Bottom-line if you are looking for something different and thoughtful this is the material you will adore.
