Wisdom of the Crowd

This show displays a very dangerous concept. Very negative unintended consequences will happen. At least the writers acknowledge this at about 23:32 when a driver is attacked by a crowd based on very limited and incomplete information. If the concept for this show happens in real many innocent people will be attacked and seriously injured. Crowd "wisdom" is very easily turned into Mob Mentality where a few people with an agenda whips people into an emotional frenzy and sways them to commit acts they would never even consider as individuals. That's how, historically, there were so many lynchings in the past. Another potential issue is if the courts will even allow "evidence" gathered as shown in this show. Would that actually preclude any legitimate evidence being gathered and presented. This concept, if ever enacted in real life, could do much more harm than good in apprehending and prosecuting criminals. Very, very dangerous concept.

Why cancel the show because of the actor who can be replaced? Just have some respect for the viewers all over the world and finish the story

A viewer wrote that this series is another concept of 'Person of Interest' which has been aired since 2011 with 5 seasons to date. I have never seen this so I cannot judge. It is only fair to review this new series on its own merits.

Having seen the pilot episode, I am pleased what it is about and moves along at a good pace, keeping one's interest. We have to wait how the story develops but for the time being I rate it 7 to start off with.

Update after 4 episodes: The story wanders and does not stay focused. Rating reduced to 6.

Latest. Now seen 7 episodes and am giving up! It's become an endless bore. Rating reduced to 5 as I wave goodbye.

I am not a regular TV watcher as there are few shows that interest me. However, I was intrigued by the premise for Wisdom of the Crowd. A crowd-sourced program to help solve crimes makes so much sense and makes it stand out from your typical crime-fighting shows. Jeremy Piven is a great actor who I have never watched in anything before, but I am enjoying his performance and all the realness of his emotions that he brings to each scene. It's an intriguing show and I look forward to it every week now.

A unique and contemporary approach to the traditional crime format. Impressed that a network show would introduce some new tropes into an old format. Rounded out by a deep, talented cast, this is a really enjoyable show. The pilot really kept me engaged and I'm looking forward to seeing future episodes.
