Demoted detective Ellis has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. However, when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis becoming a detective again and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They must work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. The two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.

J. Kelly Nestruck Globe and Mail Jun 26
The most shamelessly sexy and just plain enjoyable of CBC’s current hour-long dramatic slate. Go to Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal 02/06/2025
There are only so many actors who can conjure magic out of TV formula. Wild Cards, now entering its second season, won’t change anyone’s life -- except those of its two stars, if there’s any justice in the wide, wide world of televised entertainment. Go to Full Review Gissane Sophia Lady Geeks Media May 16
With thirteen episodes, we get generous moments to explore character journeys with solid performances that amplify emotional scenes and make them memorable. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 02/05/2025
The things that are ridiculous about it don’t distract from our enjoyment of it, mostly thanks to a good supporting cast and good chemistry between Morgan and Gianniotti. Go to Full Review Arezou Amin Collider 02/04/2025
8/10
At its core, and on paper, Wild Cards is a police procedural series. But the best part of the series, and the part that truly makes it worth the watch, is Max and Cole's dynamic. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
