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.

Decider by Joel Keller

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.

Though only two episodes of the series were provided for this review, those were enough to determine that the series is built on a fairly solid foundation, and should continue to thrive and find its audience should they avoid the temptation to try and fit a network TV procedural peg into a prestige TV-sized hole.

Even with its corny dialogue and predictable beats, Wild Cards is still an extremely enjoyable time, especially if you have been missing the kind of breezy, easy-viewing shows networks like USA and The CW of olde once provided.

The A.V. Club by Mary Kate Carr

Enter Wild Cards, a show that is just fine. It is not reinventing the wheel, nor is it even coming anywhere close to perfecting the wheel, at least in these first couple of episodes. But it's hitting those old familiar beats that are enjoyable, even soothing, to watch, with very pleasant and likable characters at its core.
