Season 1 - Episode 11
BBC Three (UK)
Wilfred has been fucked up since episode one. The premise is Elijah Wood's Ryan sees his neighbour's dog Wilfred as an Australian man in a dog suit. The two have a bizarre relationship, best friends who drink and smoke together, but it's Wilfred who is in charge of the friendship.
"Doubt" sees the introduction of Bruce, a drifter who claims to have had a similar relationship with Wilfred in the past. His stories cause Ryan to mistrust Wilfred, which in turn, of course, makes Wilfred plot his own bizarre brand of revenge. The episode from about half way gets really fucked up. Even for Wilfred. I really did not see the twist coming - an utter act of mindfuck which proved Wilfred as the darkest "comedy" ever to hit mainstream television.
With only two episodes of the season to go, it's difficult to see where Wilfred is going to go. But whatever way they do go, it's going to be a sick and twisted ride.
