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.

Wild Cards continues to be a light, fun show to watch in its third season, with a season-long story arc that should be interesting as it’s filtered in among the cases of the week. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Katrina C @RT04699180 12h Ellis and his girlfriend have ruined the show for me. The first two seasons that featured the chemistry between Max and Ellis were entertaining, but I'm done with WC even before the season finale. I just don't care about these people the way the characters are now being written. See more Riz F @RT01407557 Mar 26 Not sure what happened…. But in season 3 the character Yates has been turned into a joke….. she always was quirky bit a serious detective.. now she and her partner never do anything and any time she opens her mouth its side show joke…. If she and her partner arent goong to do any serious police work then why are they even on the show? See more Angela B @Angelica-Peter Feb 26 I’ve watched all episodes. It just feels like there is something missing. The lead actress just doesn’t seem to be a good fit. I like the plot line that includes her parents and the two actors that play them. I don’t know why, it just looks like she isn’t comfortable or she just can’t act. I’ve kept watching because I kept thinking it would get better. See more Zane T @ZaneThind Jan 8 Season 3 starts of strong with great use of comedy and seriousness at the same time and with a new major villain set up for the rest of the season. Also hopefully there is more character development with Max as she has her mom back in her life. This season could be the best of the show. A possible bright future is ahead.
