Spencer Sisters

So maybe this isn't 9 stars but giving it a boost. It's a good show! Leads are great actresses and story is engaging. Wish it had been given another season or too. Just found this Hallmark channel. :(

The mother daughter story draws you in and the mysteries are interesting enough that you can't always solve the case immediately. The twists keep you engaged with some great love triangle sub plots.

Could the acting be better on side characters sure... But the main cast really works hard to make up for it and the writing is good so you can forgive it. Only other improvement that could be made is the sister jokes do get a little tired after awhile. I mean... Why not just lean into the mother daughter plot and name it The Spenser Women or Spenser detective agency...

I like the quick moving detective work between Darby and Victoria, and rubbing each other the wrong way seems to inspire them to discover the hidden truth,....buuuut...

Darby seems too entitled for my taste in her dealings with her mother. She almost seems irrational in her anger, and ungrateful for Victoria's help, financially and in the sleuth work. I wish the writers would create a bit more balance in Darby's character.

I like yesterday's episode BTW, because I can relate to it from my own experience. I develop Android apps, and I'm always careful to have well hidden backups of my code and to keep my home address private. I scratch my head when someone like the developers in this program do not take these precautions. It's their livelihood!

I really liked how this series took off. There is a real odd couple quality to Victoria and Darby, that is quite refreshing.

The mysteries are often easy to solve, given the facts surface with each clue.

With each episode, there is a growing respect from Darby for her mother and the people surrounding them. The more she has been with Victoria, the more it seems their bond deepens. By the end of the season, we see how much Darby does care for Victoria.

We should probably get to know more about the supporting cast. I am just not sure how it should be handled. The character dynamics seems to be OK for now.

I look forward to what the next season may bring.

It was good. I can't believe they cancelled it really did have great potential. The networks are playing with us. Each time we like something it's cancelled, The Gourmet Detective, Crossword Mysteries, Curious Caterer, Mystery 101, shall I go on? MatchMaker Mysteries and Picture Perfect were not even given a chance, not to mention Morning Show Mysteries! So many great shows and they cancel them. I thought with streaming competition we could have more flexibility in the stats these Executives seem to say they use when really they use a dartboard and their personal interests! Let's give us a chance and give the shows more of a chance!!!

Always been a huge fan of Lea and that is what made me interested in the show. It's not groundbreaking; but it is a good show. Unlike some shows today, you can have a laugh and not have someone pushing an agenda in your face. There is a little friction between mother and daughter (so that makes the show more realistic based on my daughter and her Mother). It is not going to win any major awards probably; but sometimes you just need a little escape from all the crazy things going on in your world. It is kind of like reading a science fiction book.... you know it is not reality; but that is what you are escaping from, right?
