Wong & Winchester

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.

"Wong & Wincester" is a captivating blend of comedy and crime drama that manages to both entertain and engage with its sharp writing, memorable characters, and intriguing storylines. The show follows the exploits of two unlikely partners. Their contrasting personalities create a dynamic chemistry that drives both the comedic and dramatic elements of the show.

One of the standout features of "Wong & Wincester" is its clever writing. The dialogue is witty and snappy, filled with clever banter that keeps you engaged.

Each episode presents a new case that brings out the unique strengths (and weaknesses) of both Wong and Wincester, providing plenty of opportunities for character development alongside the overarching plot.

The character development in "Wong & Wincester" is another highlight. Their evolving partnership creates a rich tapestry of interaction, complete with moments of tension, humor, and camaraderie that resonates. Supporting characters are also well-crafted, adding depth to the storyline and often stealing the scene with their own quirks and stories.

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.

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.

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.
