Wild Cards is so good. I’ve never seen a role better suited to Vanessa Morgan. She is hilarious as Max and the chemistry between her and Giacomo is fantastic. I can’t wait for the rest of the season

I'm enjoying all these new canadian shows. They're quite different, it is refreshing.They're mostly short-lived, which is a plus because the chance of getting bored or recycling stories are slim. One of my favourite shows of all times is "Flashpoint" , I really hope for a reboot.

1. Skymed

" The North challenges people Crys. Makes them grow. And it's not always pleasant, but you gotta give them the room to do that growing."

- The pilots are barely represented. I love small town shows. Even if my favourite character is coupled with my most hated character. And the cheating in this show is something else like a constant plot. But friendships are amazing.

2. Sight unseen

" Think of this as a chance to explore a new world. There are so many ways to navigate, but first, you need to understand the basics."

- It's the first show I watch with visual impairment being prominent. It's nice casting two actresses have their own experience with it, showing it's not just fiction. And Sunny's plot is integrated.

3. Wild cards

"We are like Bones and that dude from buffy, Castle and that hot girl."

- I miss these kind of shows.

4. Transplant (4 seasons)

"All of that to make yourself feel better about ruining the one good thing you had going on here"

- The show name being represented through the group literally and figuratively was a beautiful concept. And for once, romance isn't the main plot.

Can I say something, sir? On the record. Look, I know we broke protocol, but we had each other's backs.

I started watching a new CW show on a whim, and I am pleasantly surprised - Wild Cards. It has a lot of fun tropes used well between the two main characters Max and Ellis and it takes place in Canada - I would say which city, except I don't know skylines that well, but it has a water front, and I'm just going to say Vancouver or Toronto because those cities seem like the US's versions of NYC and LA - any and all shows take place in or around them.

Anyway. Ellis is the Grumpy and Tall and Max is the Happy and Smol of the duo - Ellis is a disgraced police officer who got bumped from detective to marine patrol, and Max is a con artist and thief. It's very much reminding me of White Collar, and they wind up having to work together because she helps him out solving a high profile crime. Because of their success, brass makes them an offer - if they can work together, they'll reinstate Ellis as a detective, and Max stays out of prison.

Admittedly, we are 1 episode in, but I CARE NOT. Things that I love in no particular order:

Max is not a male written character with a female cast in the role. She is fun and bubbly and charming and sweet and relies heavily on the fact that all of these things help distract marks, and lets her get out of a lot of trouble. Because she's so friendly and nice, she gets people almost immediately at ease - even people she's been known to scam like her. The people who arrest her like her. The cops in the bullpen like her. Even Ellis, who doesn't seem to like anyone at all, begrudgingly respects her.

Ellis is grumpy, and for a good reason. Actually, a couple good reasons. But instead of him being the only honest cop in a group of corrupt ones, he's the one suspected to be a dirty cop from an undercover gig, which went badly, and why he got busted down to marine patrol.

Zero Daddy issues for Max. Again, I admit, it's been one episode, BUT she visits him twice in prison (he's also criminally inclined) and he is more than happy to help her out, and that includes finding out Ellis's background to make sure she's not in more trouble than she thinks she is. Prison sentence aside, it seems like a solid Father/Daughter relationship (though it does make me think of the skit "I would be proud of my daughter no matter what. She could be a serial killer - "nine victims in total" - "excuse me? Nine that you know of").

Even though Ellis is cranky, he covers for Max even though it gets him in trouble instead of her in front of his superiors and his co-workers. He also just rolls with whatever bizarre scenario she's come up with for their cover - "I'm a Russian princess, and you're my pretty but clueless boy toy/goat yoga instructor" and the most he'll do is make a face, and then commit to the part.

Even though I am 100% positive this is going to be a romance between Ellis and Max, they're starting off with Mutual Respect for one another as people rather than just finding each other hot. I think Max looks at Ellis like "this is my poor little meow meow doom cloud " and Ellis is like "this is my emotional support extrovert." [two of my other favorite tropes]

They use a lot of tropes well - Ray of Sunshine and Grumpy Cat partners, Criminal and Cop as Partners, Criminal with Heart of Gold, Hidden Emotional Injury, Opposites Attract, etc.

Anyway - police procedural mixed with White Collar vibes. So far, recommend.
