Wild Cards

This series pairs a police detective with an unusual partner, like many other shows before it. In this instance, the detective has been working an undesirable beat and needs to get back in the chief's good graces. His partner is a con artist who is street smart, clever, and possesses unique skills. Giacomo Gianniotti plays the cop, Cole Ellis, who is ordered to team up with grifter Max Mitchell (Vanessa Morgan) after circumstances throw them together and the results are good.

What makes this show is the writing. Max is witty and quick on her feet. Morgan does an excellent job of delivering the lines that drive the humor. She is also beautiful, which contributes to the potential chemistry between the two unlikely partners. Gianniotti plays the straight man---a reluctant recipient of her barbs and her ingenious methods, which sometimes break the rules.

"Castle" had a similar vibe. The characters in "Wild Cards" are affable and very watchable. And there is a synergy from teaming the two.

The cases they work on are interesting and the action can be fast-moving as they decipher clues and solve crimes.

I came upon this movie after seeing an edit about the leads and the plot from the trailer looked interesting enough, so I gave this a try. CW's not really known for releasing exemplary shows with amazing acting -at least not recently- but I thought that Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti had a cool dynamic going on in this Canadian series. Their characters aren't completely unique in terms of personality and personal trauma, but all of the detective/crime antics were fun to follow. Although it seems a little low-budget with the sets and acting, the crimes had some great twists and resolutions. The mains, Max and Ellis, did have good teamwork and the chemistry/tension came on naturally and didn't feel forced or awkward. Max As CW shows go, the script was definitely still cheesy and the cast -excluding Max and Ellis- could've been better, but I enjoyed watching it nonetheless and couldn't wait for the finale episode which had its own share of twists and scams. The show left off on a cliffhanger and it's torture now that I have to wait for the next season, but I'm just relieved it was renewed! Based on the first season, I'd rate this a 6.5/10 🖤

I think this show is really rather good I mean granted it's pretty just like most of the other little cop shows and trying to figure out things. However, with that being said, think she's quite spunky, I like her style I'd like the fact that she's a woman that has a thought process other than what generally people think we should think. I give this rating a nine only because of fear of given 10. Great show definitely would recommend. I think that the character of the male is a little bit too harsh. I think he needs to understand that with his new partner he has somebody he can trust. He's needing to learn that it's OK if it's a little bit on the gray side as long as it doesn't tip over his anxiety is about his brother. That's his issue he needs to get over it. I kinda like that but again I feel that her character is a lot better more needed more med and I like her father.

I gave it a chance because the ads looked interesting. I've watched CW shows forever. I've watched every episode of Supernatural. Anyway, it looked like a fun show. I'm glad I watched. I like the premise since it manages to put those two together. The whole cast has great chemistry, not just the leads. The story lines are interesting and often have humor to them. The two leads have great chemistry although I hope they don't have a romance. I'd rather see them as close platonic friends. More like a brother and sister relationship. I wish there were more than 10 episodes for the season. I have to mention, I'm 61 and have watched a decent amount of CW shows since it was the WB. That came out weird, but I think you can make sense of it.

This tv is pretty good. The 1st episode had a very great twist at the end. If Vanessa Morgan wasn't in it then I wouldn't of gave it a chance. She is very much the attraction and eye candy. I'm excited to see where this TV show will end up and is going to go. In the age of cancelations after 1 season, I really hope this show does not get canceled after one season. It seems all the fun shows get canceled and the garbage shows gets renewed. I hope the fans will get behind this because we need more good shows on the market like this. I really also hope these two can stay partners. Not every show with a male and female lead needs to lead to romance.
