Yes, the TV series was much better even though it aired in the late 1970s. I adored Linda Carter's version of Wonder Woman. Perhaps is was "easier" since it was TV instead of a movie. Whatever the reason, I found it a joy to watch her solve situations. When she had to go to her mother for help just added to the characters reality.

I consider this a complete flop. It's doesn't draw the viewer into her life ... it all seems one step removed from the "reality" of the story. It also takes so long for anything to happen it quickly became extremely boring.

As for Gal Gadot, I found her wooden and the character would have been better played by an AI robot.
