What critics are saying

Score 82 /100

Critics generally received Where's Wanda? as a charming, entertaining dark comedy that breathes fresh energy into the traditional missing-person mystery. Rather than leaning purely into a somber tone, reviewers appreciated how the German series fuses farce-heavy humor with a knotty crime caper, creating a stylish viewing experience that is distinctly less miserable than typical European crime dramas.

While critics acknowledged that the series might not be groundbreaking, they commended its balance of emotional grounding and goofy espionage antics. The show earns praise for hitting the right emotional beats around coping with loss while keeping audiences thoroughly entertained with its lively pace and dark humor.

“Farce-heavy humour and dark crime caper fuse in this German series... It’s thrilling, poignant and funny – if not revolutionary”

“A small-town European murder mystery but more stylish than most — and less miserable.”

“This series is good fun that gets its emotions quite right, leaving us entertained with its goofy antics for most of its runtime.”

Why fans love it

This 2024 dark comedy series takes a heavy premise—a missing teenage daughter—and turns it into a chaotic suburban investigation. Rather than relying solely on official channels, the Klatt family decides to handle the search themselves. Their solution is a wild plot to spy on the neighborhood, plunging ordinary people directly into the world of small-time espionage.

The draw of the show comes from its distinct blend of dramatic stakes and absurd humor. Anchored by a cast that includes Heike Makatsch, the story follows the family as their amateur surveillance operation spirals out of control. As they bug the homes of the people living right next door, one shocking secret after another surfaces, revealing what really goes on behind closed doors in their community.
