Wild Cards (2024)

Matt Roush says...

With only one more episode of ABC hit High Potential to air this season, the timing is right for the return of this diverting caper action comedy from Canada that features another unorthodox pair of crime solvers. Something tells me that Potential’s Morgan would appreciate the street smarts of con woman Max (Vanessa Morgan), who uses her shady connections and rule-breaking instincts to help her reluctant partner, Detective Cole Ellis (Grey’s Anatomy alum Giacomo Gianniotti), crack cases. Their relationship has been strained by her latest antics, but Max’s promise that she has a lead to the killer of Ellis’s brother keeps them working together to infiltrate a street racing crew linked to a robbery spree. “Who has more fun than us?” Max gushes when she gets behind the wheel of a souped-up custom Mustang. Poor Ellis can only wonder, “Can you go five minutes without committing a felony?” What fun would that be?
