This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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.

This show is so awful I created an IMDb account just to give this show a 1. Honestly this is not even worth discussing but this site requires me to type 10 lines. This show is honestly so bad I texted all of my friends to never watch this show. It was so awful it made me cry. I will pay whoever thinks they may watch this show to not watch this show solely for their own well being. Do you remember the Lord of the Rings? This is Frodo's worst. Never, ever, ever watch this or your Lord of The Rings visions will be destroyed. Because I saw this I no longer will watch the series. Elijah Wood has now been ruined and I will never watch any movie/TV series he is in. So God damn awful.

First of all i would like to reply to those intelligent people up there: So you calling the show stupid, while you are the ones that can't see further than pot smoking? The show has more meaning than you could understand. It's not about smoking or being funny the whole time, but it would require more brain power than you seem to have. If you want a dumb show you can actually enjoy (because you might get the fart jokes) go watch the original. This one has more meaning and better story.Wilfred is amazing, much better than the Aus version of it (however that was a different type of Wilfred). This show can get you thinking and also helps you realize everyday problems. Now you wonder, what could get me thinking about a show with a man and a man in a dog costume? Well for one it makes you ask a good question: What's real and what isn't? And how can you tell? This show is not about jokes, so if you are into that, don't even start watching this show... well, it has jokes, laughable moments and funny situations, but if you are in the same group as the above people then you wouldn't get those anyway.I rate it 9/10, but i gotta admit that the second season got some boring episodes. "This why good shows fall." meaning the more clever shows are uninteresting for the American people, like Pushing Daisies? People said it's a dumb show, just because it was beyond their level of intelligence. YOU are the reason why we get more dumb reality shows instead of quality shows. Thanks for that dumb people! example: SyFy has more wrestling and ghost hunting reality show than actual sci-fi...that on a channel meant to be science fiction only

As it started, i liked the idea and there were a few good and new jokes in it. After a few episodes i found it getting kinda weaker, because it seemed to me that they ran out of funny stuff fitting to the situation between the characters, dog and human. So the end of the first season i found it pretty average, but still, elijah and wilfred are great actors, so it's always a pleasure to watch them. I mean... even while the story and gags are at a low point, the series on it's own can never be below a rating of 7, in my opinion (because of these two). Now came season 2 it turned much more psychic, dramatic, and mysterious and that was the best they could do with it! So many cleverly made thoughts and situations in every episode. Always keeping an exciting balance between laughter, disturbance and relief. The story has so many twists and to me it seems like the writers have found the perfect recipe by now. At this point, just watched episode 13 of the second season, i am (again) flabbergasted and so i'll give wilfred a 10 stars rating. This series is now very near to a Breaking Bad level to me. There is always space for improvement but it can't get much better than this. Keep em coming like that and emmy's will probably follow you ;)
