The 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 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!!!

All Darby Spencer (Stacey Farber) wants to do is to follow her late father's footsteps and be a good police detective. She quits the police force in frustration after an undeserved reprimand. She breaks up with her cheating boyfriend and moves out. She visits her famous mystery writer mother Victoria Spencer (Lea Thompson). She's not a happy camper. There are abandonment issues. When a friend gets falsely accused, the two women join forces to solve the case. They form the Spencer Sisters Detective Agency solving various cases.

Stacey Farber and Lea Thompson are both great fun actresses. There is good chemistry between them. The rest of this Canadian show is a bit janky. The overall production is not at a good level. Still, these two leads give it the old college try and comes up with some fun. It lasted for only one season.

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.
