The Spencer Sisters

I wasn't sure what to expect from this new series but I'm really enjoying it.

Victoria is a writer of mysteries and her writing is losing its edge. Darby is a police officer who wants to become a detective. Mother and daughter duo, Victoria (Lea Thompson) and Darby (Stacey Farber) start working together to solve crimes and in doing so, begin to mend their fractious relationship.

Although Victoria and Darby don't have a good relationship in the beginning, as the series progresses you can see them starting to realize they are a little too much alike and both need to give a little if they are going to be able to live and work together.

The episodes have been entertaining so far with a combination of humour (thank you Lea Thompson) and drama and the storyline moves at a good pace. All in all, a very likeable series.

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!

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?

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.

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.
