concept
from
In Victorian England, the young and beautiful Alice tells a tale of a strange new land that exists on the other side of a rabbit hole. An invisible cat, a hookah smoking caterpillar and playing cards that talk are just some of the fantastic things she’s seen during this impossible adventure. Surely this troubled girl must be insane and her doctors aim to cure her with a treatment that will make her forget everything. Alice seems ready to put it all behind her, especially the painful memory of the genie she fell in love with and lost forever—the handsome and mysterious Cyrus. But deep down Alice knows this world is real and just in the nick of time, the sardonic Knave of Hearts and the irrepressible White Rabbit arrive to save her from a doomed fate. Together, the trio will take a tumble down the rabbit hole to this Wonderland where nothing is impossible...

my take
From the Let's-Go-To-The-Well-Again Department of Hollywood. The concept is working for Snow White in ABC's Once Upon A Time, so why not expand? This time, it's a similar-yet-different story set in Victorian England and, of course, Wonderland. Should I mention the lead's name is Alice? The (beautiful) look of the show is a mix of Once Upon A Time and Pushing Daisies. It's not for me, but it's probably worth a sample, even if the slot isn't forgiving.
