2/5
It attempts to be playful but lacks humor, focuses on mysteries but lacks tension, and features two strong female leads (including 1980s darling Lea Thompson) but still suffers under a dated message on women and aging. Go to Full Review Neely Swanson Easy Reader (California) 11/01/2023
It’s predictable and soft but it’s also charming and has enough humorous moments to offset the sentimentality that often permeates Canadian dramas. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 10/13/2023
The Spencer Sisters is the type of show you might end up binging if you’re at home and not feeling great this coming fall. Go to Full Review Kristen Maldonado Pop Culture Planet 10/09/2023

Janene O @RT14666614 01/04/2025 I loved this show. It was a bit slow on the crimes. But I lived the relationship with the mom and daughter and his it evolved. There is something to be said about a show that has beautiful sets and a slow but evolving relationship with Mom and daughter. Listen, life right now is a lot! It is so calming to watch a show like this. I've seen it's not renewed, so my review probably doesn't mean much. But I'm hoping someone that matters can see that this show meant something to someone. See more Linda W @RT57181480 12/03/2023 It is a guilty pleasure to watch like reading a romance. See more Deb B @RT23266554 10/26/2023 I just lost an hour of my life watching this. Badly written, actors were horrible, do yourself a favor and watch something else I would have given this zero stars if I could. Lea Thompson is a better actress than this. See more y y @RT47987283 10/13/2023 I would not have bought this show after seeing the first episode because (a) there are too few regular characters, (b) the daughter is too unhappy with the mother to watch, and (c) the gay male couple are a very weak choice for the most frequently seen friends of a straight, very white, single female. The dialogue opportunities between the leading characters are too limited by the small number of characters and the distance between them. November, 2023 Update: The mother is unsympathetic and unwatchable for me. Also, the actress playing the mother is a weak match for the role. See more Read all reviews
