This Show Got Wit of a Guy Ritchie Film, Heart of a Classic Detective Show, and 100% on RT

Wild Cards is a series about a demoted detective and a charismatic con woman who solve complicated cases together.

However, this description doesn't capture the show's recklessness, and coziness, which can brighten up even the grayest of days.

Here is why now is the time to brighten up cold fall evenings with two seasons of Wild Cards.

What Is 'Wild Cards' About?

Detective Ellis, who has been demoted, has spent the last year serving in the Marine Patrol. Meanwhile, Max has lived a nomadic life, skillfully deceiving everyone she meets.

Fate brings them together when Max unexpectedly helps Ellis solve a local crime. Now, they have a chance at redemption: Ellis can become a detective again, and Max can avoid prison.

There is, however, one catch: they must work together, using their unique skills to solve crimes.

'Wild Cards' Is a Good Old Classic Detective Show With No Excessive Blood or Violence

Wild Cards' plot revolves around investigations, most often involving brutal crimes such as murder, attempted murder, and kidnapping.

However, the creators try to soften things as much as possible and describe the criminals' atrocities without disturbing details. So, while there is no brutality or bloodshed in Wild Cards, there are investigations, intrigue, secrets, and unexpected plot twists.

Against the backdrop of numerous mystical thrillers and noir detective stories, Wild Cards is a real breath of fresh air.

'Wild Cards' Strikes the Perfect Balance Between Investigations and Humor

Despite the serious nature of the described crimes, humor is seamlessly woven into the narrative. Ironic jokes and sudden references to modern pop culture fit just perfectly here.

The comedic elements dilute the criminal drama, enliven the investigation, and emphasize the adventurous nature of the main characters.

This virtuoso blending of genres to add dynamism to the events makes Wild Cards similar to the works of Guy Ritchie – the mood also shifts constantly and the action progresses quickly.

It's Hard Not to Binge-Watch 'Wild Cards' in a Couple of Evenings

Wild Cards doesn't spoil the mood with overly cruel or bloody scenes, nor does it require you to overexert yourself in an attempt to comprehend the open ending. Each episode presents a new mystery that ends with exhaustive answers to all questions.

Thanks to this, Wild Cards is just perfect binge-watching material.
