Unlike Joan, she derives such scant pleasure from helping others that itРІР‚в„ўs hard not to wish the wax lion would find someone else to carry his banner in the mortal sphere.Р”Р„fter Jaye inadvertently helps her sister (Katie Finneran) and a parcel-delivery guy, the subsequent beneficiaries are overly broad, almost bordering on absurdity. While itРІР‚в„ўs understandable Jaye would be flustered, her perpetual snottiness wonРІР‚в„ўt endear her to anyone except petulant teenagers, and only then because it validates their self-absorption.

Unfortunately, the series doesnРІР‚в„ўt explore those questions, preferring to get by on JayeРІР‚в„ўs mystified state and a fidgety visual style that blends the feel of РІР‚СљMalcolm in the MiddleРІР‚Сњ (РІР‚СљWonderfallsРІР‚Сњ director and co-creator Todd HollandРІР‚в„ўs last stamping ground) with FoxРІР‚в„ўs since-departed РІР‚СљKeen Eddie.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљAre you Satan? Are you God?РІР‚Сњ Jaye asks in exasperation. Saying things like РІР‚СљSee a penny, pick it upРІР‚Сњ and РІР‚СљGirl needs a boy,РІР‚Сњ the lion (along with a monkey and a fish and a teddy bear) works in mysterious ways. In the premiere, Jaye is recounting the myth of a Native American maiden sacrificed to the falls - one that tells you to РІР‚СљSurrender to destinyРІР‚Сњ - when a wax lion from the Mold-a-Rama machine begins speaking to her. At 24, sheРІР‚в„ўs working in a Niagara Falls gift shop, living in a trailer park, hanging out with her few friends and periodically flirting with a handsome bartender (Matthew Fox look-alike Tyron Leitso), whose marriage ended during his honeymoon. Ivy League educated and surrounded by a family of doers who aggravate her a little too much, Jaye is a committed underachiever. Yet despite similarities to other dramas developed last spring (a phenomenon best dismissed as convergent evolution), РІР‚СљWonderfallsРІР‚Сњ appears to flow most directly from РІР‚СљField of Dreams.РІР‚Сњ As in that film, a cryptic voice - emanating, in this case, from normally inanimate objects - instructs Jaye Tyler (Canadian film actress Caroline Dhavernas) to take actions that will eventually improve the lives of others, albeit in a roundabout way.
