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.

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 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.

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.
