The Spencer Sisters

I just happen to stumble across this little show. And now I am sitting here binging . It's a light hearted little detective series featuring a mother and daughter duo. I love Lea Thompson. It reminds me a bit of a Hallmarkish detective series. After a couple of episodes, I have become very invested in these characters. The town setting charming. There is a cast of interesting supportive characters. I am waiting to see what happens with the daughter's romantic life in particular with her ex. The mom's character is well played. I can think of several people who could relate to this relationship between the two. I hope this series continues.

Murder She Wrote.. It is not!

Feels like simple fluff,where the crime gets figured out before it even starts.. The clues oddly just fall in their lap,it's all too easy(Scooby-Doo)gave us more to figure out! Lol.

I agree with others the title is an odd choice,despite it being a failed attempt comedic-wise.

It's full of clichés,plot holes & more! As mentioned,fluff.

Not saying it's the worse tv show,however don't feel this will be a long-lasting series.

It was cast ok decent & acting ok,plus above-average cinematography.

The dynamic between daughter and mom,seem a bit far fetched.. Not sure if it's Lea trying too hard in her acting,working at recapturing her youth & so forth.

Also.. Why is the daughter so bitter and full of angst,she just seems a bit entitled yet so does mom.

Worth a watch but,don't expect quality either.

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 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.

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!
