So what makes "Wild Cards" special, in other words, is that its characters are delightfully normal.

What works so well about Wild Cards Season 2 in the first three episodes provided for review is that this overarching plot doesn't supersede the "problem of the week" format, or push Max and Cole's swoony flirtation to the backburner. Instead, it acts as a wonderful complementary balance to those other elements, adding dimension to their personal and professional relationship as the three develop in tandem, setting the stage for a second season with higher professional, personal, and yes, even romantic stakes than the first.

We like Wild Cards because it’s a “good silly” kind of show. 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.
