I still upon Pretty Hard Cases Season 1 & 2 and immediately got sucked in to the predominately female cast and the fresh relationship dynamic of Kelly (Adrienne C. Moore) and Sam (Meredith MacNeill)
I very much appreciate Kelly's character and her romantic relationship and how they challenge and upend historical impressions/images of what is sexy, beautiful and feminine. Adrienne C. Moore Is beautiful and her character is presented as a relatable, authentic, accessible person one may have as a family member, friend, coworker or neighbor.
And the sleuth aspect isn't bad either. The cases and subplots are pretty good and engaging. Humor has me laughing out loud at times.
Sam's character is hilarious. The two (Kelly and Sam) play very well off each other. Their screen friendship is believable, funny and touching.
Like the fact that it's set in Canada rather than the US because it adds another cool twist to the series.
I thought the story was rather unique. Seasons 1 & 2 aren't overly slapstick-ish or too terribly unrealistic. It includes real-world issues and concerns. Shows the diversity of life and people in the real world. Glad I found it!
Season 3 is a different story...
I still enjoy Kelly and Sam and their friendship/working relationship. However, the writing seems to be of a much lower quality than seasons, 1 and 2. Season 3 is very slapstick-ish, the storylines don't flow as well, some of the scenes are just totally unnecessary, and somewhat annoying in several episodes, the believability/relatability of the storylines/cases just isn't there. Too bad though because I liked the series so much I was binge watching it night after night. Wish it would have finished as strong as it started.
