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.

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.

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.

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!!!!
