The first problem with Wishman is that its lovable protagonist is in actual fact terrifying. Those are not the eyes of an adorable genetically engineered baby (is it even possible to make the words adorable and genetically engineered fit together in the same sentence?). They're the eyes of a psychopathic killer. The story centres on a scientist who steals the beast (yeah, they actually refer to Wishman as a beast, yet ask us to love him) because he feels bad that it's about to be murdered and dissected for research purposes. Wishman starred Linda Hamilton (of Terminator fame) as the scientist's wife, and quite frankly she dodged a very weird bullet when it was cancelled. The trailer features the line: Man, if my dog looked like that, I'd shoot it. It's supposed to evoke sympathy. All it does is evoke empathy for the person saying it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at4TWrBy8og
