Well if anything Adrianne Palicki is gorgeous. But it’s tough to really root for a super heroine who walks as if she’s desperately trying to maintain her top. Which she really is. Poor Palicki is given such a poor costume that her glittery top looks like it’s going to slide down and show off her skin any moment. Plus, the costume just looks so damn confining and uncomfortable. And then we meet Diana Themyscira who is Wonder Woman on the side fighting crime, capturing villains and refusing to turn them over to authorities because “they’ll lawyer up.”
What does Diana do when she’s not Wonder Woman? She runs a successful law firm. And has two assistants, both of whom are the talented actors Tracie Thoms and Cary Elwes. And then we’re told no one really knows Diana and Wonder Woman are the same person in spite of the fact she flies a Jet with the WW emblem on a jet she lands atop her law office’s skyscraper. Logic! She also walks through her packed lobby dressed as Wonder Woman. Did they just think Diana was playing an intricate game of dress up for a client?
Kinky! And we have to know that Diana is vulnerable and capable of whimsy. Surely, Amazons have no use for men, as we know in the comics. But when she comes home, she’s single, has a male cat she adores, and spends her time captivated by a Ryan Gosling movie all while eating cookies like an over active child on Ritalin. Because nothing tames a strong independent like sweets and a hunky guy. Libido! 
This is “Wonder Woman” by way of freaking “Ally McBeal.” I hated “Ally McBeal” with a searing heat of a thousand suns, and they turned Diana in to Ally McBeal! I know, this pilot never actually became a full fledged series on television, but watching it really shows you what might have been. The writers seem horrified to make Diana almost too independent and intelligent, so everything about her is based on depending on people to do her tough work, and then becoming child like when she’s behind closed doors. Lovely Vanilla Diana has to help a poor African American family when their son dies from using illegal narcotics.
It turns out his death had a connection with a man Diana was chasing in the beginning. You have to love the commentary by the guy in the helicopter. “He does not appear to be armed but he does appear almost super human in his speed!” What odd wording. And of course this is a parallel world as Right Wingers are calling for Wonder Woman to be taken in, while liberals are cheering for her crime fighting. If you’re running a humongous law firm, why even dress up and fight crime as Wonder Woman? Why not call this show “Wonder Lawyer” instead? This is not Wonder Woman, this is a lame stereotypical version of the character who fails in all levels to be interesting or unique.
We learn that her costume was modeled to become merchandise for her company, she constantly contradicts herself with “If the law doesn’t get you, I will.” You ARE the law! I’m just so glad this show never actually blossomed in to the new direction for Wonder Woman. It is the antithesis of everything the character is. Materialism, consumerism, dependence on men, and just all out badly written. Palicki has screen presence and is gorgeous, but Wonder Woman she is not.
