Wong & Winchester

"Wong & Wincester" is a captivating blend of comedy and crime drama that manages to both entertain and engage with its sharp writing, memorable characters, and intriguing storylines. The show follows the exploits of two unlikely partners. Their contrasting personalities create a dynamic chemistry that drives both the comedic and dramatic elements of the show.

One of the standout features of "Wong & Wincester" is its clever writing. The dialogue is witty and snappy, filled with clever banter that keeps you engaged.

Each episode presents a new case that brings out the unique strengths (and weaknesses) of both Wong and Wincester, providing plenty of opportunities for character development alongside the overarching plot.

The character development in "Wong & Wincester" is another highlight. Their evolving partnership creates a rich tapestry of interaction, complete with moments of tension, humor, and camaraderie that resonates. Supporting characters are also well-crafted, adding depth to the storyline and often stealing the scene with their own quirks and stories.

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.

Could it be improved upon? Of course, but it's only got the one season.

All it needs is a a second season to flesh out some character development, then a third with a bigger name to attract more viewers. Maybe a guest star, like a harried gas jockey from town from Saskatchewan played by Brent Butt or something. Maybe an in-need retired defense lawyer threatened by an ex-client played by Sonja Smits.

Perhaps a certain guest star that hung out at a Mosque from a flat part of Canada ;) Otherwise, great cast, decent scripts. Not astonishing, but on par with Hudson and Rex or a more comedic Rookie Blue. An enjoyable guilty pleasure.

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.

Rude, obnoxious, dislikeable PI with a kind, likeable assistant. How many times do have to see yet another one of these sitcoms, lacking any imagination. Ridiculous storylines, the overcranky boss who makes everyone around her miserable, so tiresome. I watched the first episode and although there were some mildly funny quips, it was increasingly hard to keep my interest. The one playing Wong, has the perfect face for the role though, she has that permanently angry scowl. I watched the first episode and lost interest 1/2 way through . I'm mystified how it got a 6.8/10 rating, I really am., I guess I'm in the minority on this one.
