Wong & Winchester

Could it be improved upon? Of course, but it's only got the one season.

All it needs is a a second season to flesh out some character development, then a third with a bigger name to attract more viewers. Maybe a guest star, like a harried gas jockey from town from Saskatchewan played by Brent Butt or something. Maybe an in-need retired defense lawyer threatened by an ex-client played by Sonja Smits.

Perhaps a certain guest star that hung out at a Mosque from a flat part of Canada ;) Otherwise, great cast, decent scripts. Not astonishing, but on par with Hudson and Rex or a more comedic Rookie Blue. An enjoyable guilty pleasure.

Surprisingly good light entertainment with a flawed, ill-tempered protagonist who remains likeable while fighting her darker side. I can see why some would find her annoying but its nice to have a femal minority lead that actually has major flaws but is also quite funny. Nice supporting cast and decently acted.

The mysteries are a little basic in so far the suspect list is usually two or three people but so was Murder She Wrote and Columbo. Perhaps they can enhance this in Season 2.

In a world of hate, its nice to watch a show where I don't have politics pushed up my spinal column and I can watch as a simple 40 minute stress reliever.

Its meant to be a comedic detective show. Protagonist is a cynical ex-cop with a penchant for illegal shortcuts to get evidence. Her sidekick is a young nerdy do-gooder.

Together, they unravel mysteries and catch the villains. Unfortunately, the characters are without nuance and bite. The script could certainly be improved.

Having watched Episode One, my verdict is 5/10. Harmless after dinner entertainment. But, without teeth.

I have to say I love the show - it doesn't take itself too seriously - doesn't hide the fact that it's Canada - the interplay between the characters is fabulous - like any great "family" dynamic there is an undercurrent of respect whatever the "words" might be.

The character of Marissa Wong Is loud and brash - partly because she's fighting her own demons - but she is good at what she does

The character of Sarah Winchester is positive and eager - lots of ideas but unsure of herself which provides a perfect foil for Marissa

Marissa's business partner, Gary Johnson brings them together and provides another foil for Marissa

It's fun, tongue-in-cheek and an enjoyable way to spend an hour.

I really love this show!! It's light and fun. An online friend of mine said it best...

"Funny and witty dialogue, interesting story each week and the dynamic between the two main characters is great - you are rooting for Marissa to warm up and accept Sarah as more than just a "driver".

I have watched the same episodes more than once and still really enjoy them! "

Disappointed that I didn't discover the show earlier. Wish it was getting more seasons. If it was given more of a chance I think it could've really bloomed into something trully great. Too bad. But I'll keep recommending it to friends!!!!
