Wong & Winchester

I love these kind of shows and Wong and Winchester is great! Doesn't take itself too seriously and has a little fun each episode. Not a super high production quality show like HBO or something, but perfect easy viewing when you aren't looking for anything too serious. Like Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys for adults. Reminds me of a lower budget Remington Steel or Magnum PI or Monk. Nice and simple series about private detectives solving mysteries usually with a few funny twists. The characters are great and a bit more adult themed than some shows so maybe not for watching with young kids. Main character and her sidekick are funny and have good chemistry, like a very off beat Holmes and Watson.

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.

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.

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.

Last only one season but a very funny comedy/crime about a detective agency owned by Marissa Wong (Grace Lynn Kung) who is selfish, cynical but with a great heart.

Her assistant who Marissa refuse to admit as her assistant and call her as driver is Sarah Winchester (Sofia Banzhaf). The duo is hilarious and a total oposite of each other.

The dialogue is well written and a strong part in this series.

Grace Lynn Kung and Sarah Winchester have a excelent perfomance in they roles.

Grace in particular with her facial expressions is hilarious.

Perhaps by not being a american series (canadian series) they didn't have the attention they deserved . Highly recomended series.
