Wong & Winchester

Wong acts like a stereotypical toxic guy in from the nineteen fifties. More suited to madmen than any show from this century Winchester does all the heavy lifting detection-wise, but is spoken to rudely, treated poorly, and then all the credit goes to Wong Strange What were the writers thinking?

Wong is someone who's apparently so grumpy and low maintenance that she may not even be bothered to bathe. But has perfectly flowing blow-dried hair and bangs at all times. Very poor character building

The mysteries are not that hard to crack. The personalities and dynamic of the lead are quite hard to watch. Rudeness just for the sake of rudeness-its not even attempting to be funny. Pass.

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.

Love the character arcs for both of them. It is getting better with each new episode. As Wong and Winchester grow on each other, they grow on you.

The mysteries are not too hard. You are following along as they solved the case of the week.

I find the episodes refreshing and the plot unexpected.

While we know Marissa formerly had a career in law enforcement, we need to know more about Sarah's background.

I am sure we will find out what her skillsets are to make her a good detective and good partner for Marissa.

We are also getting to see Gary's background come forward. It would be nice to find out how these two formed a partnership.

Rude, obnoxious, dislikeable PI with a kind, likeable assistant. How many times do have to see yet another one of these sitcoms, lacking any imagination. Ridiculous storylines, the overcranky boss who makes everyone around her miserable, so tiresome. I watched the first episode and although there were some mildly funny quips, it was increasingly hard to keep my interest. The one playing Wong, has the perfect face for the role though, she has that permanently angry scowl. I watched the first episode and lost interest 1/2 way through . I'm mystified how it got a 6.8/10 rating, I really am., I guess I'm in the minority on this one.
