Where's Wanda?

People who laugh and wince in the same scene will settle in; it keeps real worry under the gags, the way Search Party does. Heike Makatsch and Axel Stein play the parents as bumblers who still sound sincere when they grieve. Their televised appeal for Wanda turns into a send-up of how hungry the public is for a missing-girl story.

Episodes jump between different days, with Wanda's own account running beside the family's search, so pay attention to the timeline; the pace stays quick.
