9/10
Refreshing and hilarious
23 June 2023
I binge watched "Marriage of Inconvenience" and I'm already ready for a rewatch and another season!

If you want to know your tropes or themes, it's grumpy/sunshine, enemies to...?, and pretend marriage as part of the witness protection program (that's a new one) and a mystery to be solved.

Jason T. Gaffney's Owen is an affable, endearing mess as the foil to David Singletary's more buttoned up and refined Franklin. Although it's a broad mystery comedy, neither of these characters are jokes or stereotypes and have welcome layers and complexity. The supporting cast were also delightful.

The writing and pacing was tight and hilarious. I rewound a few parts to watch again and laughed out loud. Owen and Franklin's hideout looked like a kindergarten classroom and Pinterest board combined and threw up and I wanted to live there.

The slow burn of Franklin and Owen getting to know each other on a deeper level and care more for each other in the midst of solving a mystery and being in hiding was unique and enjoyable. I can't wait to see where the series goes and I'm anxiously awaiting and hoping for another season.
